I had the C3800 & A65 combo for a few years pushing Dynaudio S25,s and finally found a Audio Research Ref 3 pre for a great price and felt the Ref3 offered better separation and 3d imaging that the 3800 just didn't have.
I think you can find better preamps for far less than Accuphase. I love there amps but think the pre are not as good. Accuphase amps match very well with a great tube pre. and with your budget I think a Audio Research Ref 5se would sound spectacular with your A47 and dan 1.3.
