Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s

Currently driving Kanta 1s (acquired last week) using NAD M33 and am somewhat happy with the results but wonder if there are better matches to squeeze more out of Kantas. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You can go in via Toslink or HDMI from the TV to BS. It has a pretty good DAC, but for best perfomance you could get an external DAC.

Just bought a mint condition Luxman L-550AXII from an authorized dealer. Now i need a streamer and I have couple ideas on what to get. Most of you here recommended Luxman and I hope I am not going to regret it. Anyone wants to buy my Hegel H390? 6 months old with all the candy. ;)
