Going via the Trinnov (which uses balanced XLR), I'd opt for the Monoprice 887 if you're US based or the SP200 if you're EU based.
The Atom is for anyone not needing/using balanced XLR, i.e. 3.5mm jack or RCA from their interface/DAC.
I see. Being the VSX not balanced, I thought it didn't matter if the AMP inputs were balanced or not.
Thanks a lot for all the info, very helpful indeed

Yes, the RME ADI-2 Pro FS. More expensive but a great all round unit (ADDA and amps).
I was also interested on this one as you recommended it some weeks ago, but it's a bit too much for what I really need atm. It has some amazing reviews tho.

Yep I agree, it's not a requirement, but from my experience with my Phonon SMB-02 (40Ω), they sound good with my Motu, but they sound better when I tried a better interfaces/HP amp.
Just trying to figure out which would be the best combo for the VSX
