Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7


I am new at this and I am hoping I can get some good advice.  I listened to the Magnepan and fell in love with them.  I've been gearing up to buy them over the last three weeks.  I started reading about them online and I'm seeing that good, powerful amplification is very important to get them to really perform.  At the stereo store I know they were powered by a top flight amp.  So now I have to get an amp/preamp and DAC, integrated amp with DAC or with a separate DAC. I listen to Tidal a good deal.  

The problem is that my budget is limited to around $1200 so I don't know if that can make the cut to get something that can do the speakers justice.  I'm open to buying used.  I would be grateful for any recommendations.

I now own two amplifications:
ARC LS25/II + 100.2
and
Accuphase E-360
I will have to make a choice between them in the future (it's more a choice between separates and integrated, actually).
I already drove MG12's with the 100.2 and I liked it.
so my question is:
what about the 0.7 with the ARC 100.2 ?
and what abvout 0.7 with Accuphase E-360 ?

I've never heard 0.7's, except for a very very very short listen in a shop; in that circumstance, power amp was an Accu A30, and I liked it, but listening time was really far too short to be meaningful.
