DACs with High Voltage Output

I am interested in upgrading my DAC. However, the integrated I run and like a lot, the 845 based Bel Canto SETi 40, needs a high voltage output to sound its best (at least 4 v rms). I have been working on finding DACs that fit that parameter. I'd love to get some input from the Audiogon community. Additionally it needs to have a USB input.

From the PDF Manual for the SETi 40:

"Input level for 37 watts output • 1.5 V rms"

Many DACs will be in the 2 - 3 Vrms range...for the SE analog outputs.

david_ten is correct. With these sort of input sensitivity any cdp, dac will work, they’re nearly all over 2v these days.
