Matching it with a tube preamp in balanced mode could be an issue with some, since the balanced input impedance is only 10k ohms.  
Luxman leaves me wanting
Also, consider the PrimaLuna EVO 300 integrated from Upscale Audio. They have a 60-day return policy for a full refund, so you really have nothing to lose!  
Luxman leaves me wanting
Try contacting some DeVore dealers and ask their input on what they like with the Super Nines. The Leben is typically a good match. Also, you may want to consider the CODA integrated amp if you don’t want tubes or the Pass Labs as others have ment...
