No, but that's not the problem anyway. When you're comparing DACs, one issue is the internal gain of the DAC. If took a tone at 0dBFS and ran the data to two different DACs, you probably will get different output levels from them which makes comparison impossible. If at least one DAC had a means of output level control so you could make sure both DACs reproduce identical levels, then you can compare them properly. bigshot suggested a preamp between one of the DACs to assist in level matching (balancing). Once you have both DACs level matched, you can connect them to your favorite amp.
Neither my E11 or my Bravo V2 have a pre-out
