best amp for a Maggy 1.7i

I am looking for the most detailed amp for a 1.7i under $1,500.

The amp will be between the 1.7i and a Topping d70s. I use the d70s to control the volume.

The d70s is fed by a Bluesound Node. Or, sometimes, directly by a CD player.

I have a fetish for detail.

I’m thinking NAD 268.

Currently using a B&K EX-442 Sonata and not satisfied.

Finding a restored pair isn't impossible, but $1500 may be tight. I have run them with as little as a 25 wpc Cary SEP and a 50 wpc Jolida JD-302b. My ATI 1502 (150 wpc @ 8 ohms, 225 wpc @ 4 ohms) drove theme very well and can be easily found for under $1000.
