Preamp for a BAT VK-55.

Have a VK-55 on the way soon and have a few pre-amps I'm considering.  
1. Primaluna Dialogue Premium
2. Audio Research LS-26 or LS-27
3. BAT but not sure which one. 

Phono isn't needed and no more than $3000 is my budget.  Any recommendations appreciated.

Also would using XLR to RCA adapters affect the sound?

I'm leaning towards a BAT pre-amp.  Used to have a VK5i a few years ago but the VK30 and up look to be more attractive and functional with the newish interface.
