Thanks for giving us information on the rest of the components. I'd strongly recommend a Theta Miles, balanced version. One of my current systems uses this to drive Portal Paladins. A similar system driving a Pass amp has been very satisfactory for a buddy of mine. Used Miles (balanced) tend to go for $800 to $1000 on Audiogon. Because the input impedance of Pass amps is on the low side, I'd suggest you avoid players (or preamps) whose output impedance over 300 ohms. 100 ohms or lower is better in this case; although, at this moment, I can't tell you the output impedance of the Miles ...
