Suggestions for Naim Uniti Atom vs Atom HE as a pure streamer/DAC/preamplifier

I had an atom, and i swapped for an he as i wanted to be able use headphones at night, stellias. Which is a wonderful combo. I also have 805 d2s that i am powering with a nap100. The detail and soundstage exceeds the regular atom as i believe the preamp linestage of the he replacing the power section exceeds that of the regular atom. I tried it with the mentioned 250.2 and it worked nicely. If i had bigger speakers id have gone bigger ampwise. Is this combo better than a nova? Maybe. Both are very good.
