Need help chosing a preamp

Currently burning in my Luxman 10Mx and in need of a preamp. I’ve heard there’s great synergy between the Luxman amp and preamp combo. My question would it be better to match my preamp to the Dac so I my options:

Nagra tube Dac/Nagra HD preamp/Luxman 0mx or

Nagra tube Dac/Luxman preamp/amp combo

plan is to eventually run the Luxman in mono mode

Thanks

Luxman preamp and amp combo. It should work fine with the Nagra DAC.

Consider use of other equipment as well as the DAC, and eventual resale, I’d go with matching Luxman pieces, UNLESS the Luxman was lacking a feature I wanted.

If you have not already bought the Nagra DAC I would look at the Playback Designs DAC because Nagra uses the Playback Designs modules for their DAC. PBD does not give them their best modules.

The Luxman m900u and c900u were great together. Though I found the c900u too warm for me for long-term use.
