Just adding the RLD-1 for 2 channel music listening should be a very noticeable improvement, and should be somewhat easy since it has HT bypass. The DNA 0.5 is also a very nice amp, and if it is a basic model, it can be sent to McCormack for upgrades to be even better.

I own a Jolida Fusion pre. All tube. Would work well in system as describe by Tls49. They retail at $1300. Could upgrade the B&K amp at later date. Not saying I have a problem with the McCormack route, just responding to your interest in a tube pre. Enjoy.
