Thanks, Raindance and 4hannas, for sharing your experiences. Most helpful. If the DNA-1 does not work out, I may try the Stratos. There seems to be a paucity of used units, so I may bump the budget and buy new. I did find a pair of platinum mono amps for 1,700. If they are still available in a couple of weeks I may pull the trigger.
There is also a Luxman M-117 out there for 600. What do you think of that option?
