I haven't really seen this asked before. I notice lots of high quality amps/dacs/combos lack coax in. I want to use my FIIO X5ii as a transport into a higher end desktop amp/dac for work. I bought a lynx hilo and love it so much I'm not going to take it to work and am looking for another one for work. It would be nice if it had a lower profile so it doesn't look like it cost a million bucks. I also want to go in the balanced direction so adding balanced out to the mix seems to make it even harder to find something that will fit the bill. Amps or combos I like seem to either be missing the balanced output or the coax input. I would love to hear some recommendations! Thanks for the input.

That looks pretty good. I wound up going with a simaudio moon 230had. Not balanced as I had hoped but I got a good deal on it. Waiting to receive it.
