DAC vs. Preamp

I have just purchased Parasound JC1 Monos and will be getting Triton Ones soon. I will be using an Arcam cd player and Macbook Pro. I think I'm done with vinyl. Too much work. Would a good DAC be sufficient in this configuration or is a preamp still the way to go. I don't want the DAC to be a weak link yet money is definitely a concern. This is a brand-new system so I'm wide open to suggestions. Help,please.

Ricred1,

Thanks for the reply.
Maybe one day you can try the Aeris direct to the 625s and let us know the difference.  
Enjoy!

I'm in the midst of figuring it all out. It's a little overwhelming.
