This brings up a queston, how is PWM dac output any worse than a class
D amp which is what a PWM switching amp of which are most amps today?
Then again it could be that the pwm resolution is too low. There are
some quality i2s/spi dac hats which have rca or fancy balanced xlr
connectors.

Your amplifier should also be able to do this.
