Are there any music streaming apps such as Tidal/qobuz that support phones usb output so I can connect to external dac/amp via otg?

Hi, I have recently purchased a Denon dcd 520ae to use with my onkyo tx-nr609,I realise this quite a budget system but to get the best sound quality I'm unsure as to which dac to use! Ie..digital or analogue!? Thanks in advance...Mark
