Best SS amp choice for Zu Omen


I am considering 3 inexpensive amps to drive my recently obtained Zu Omens. My NAD c326Bee is a little warm for my taste and have decided use it for a second system in my bedroom. These 3 amps I can get between $600-$800 Musical Fidelity m2si, Music Hall a70.2, or a Naim Nait 5si. In the near future I am definitely wanting tubes, but I need a little time to study up on the matter.

 If you happen to pair the MF together with the DW please let me know!  The PrimaLuna is on my list for tube options. Any issues with Upscale Audio?
Does anyone know what the warranty for a new Musical Fidelity Amplifier? I haven't been able to find it on their site.
Rich, thanks for your response. I've narrowed my choice of integrated's to two. A Musical Fidelity 2si  from Upscale for 599.00 or a Music Hall a70.2 demo from a local dealer for 750.00. Ever heard a Music Hall.. any good? Will use to power Epos Epic 2 and Zu Omen until I find a tube amp for the Zu's.


Thank you... you have opened my eyes. I have been thinking about separates. This might be a good opportunity. Thanks Mr. D
Mr. D. I appreciate the advise. I am going to order the amp and possibly the pre-amp in the morning. The source is a MacBook Air and a Peachtree Dac-it. I also have a NAD C516BEE CD player. I assume those will be my next upgrades. My interconnects are Audioquest.
Would the Parasound Zpre3 Compact Stereo Preamplifier be horrible choice? or should I stay simple as possible? (Schiit)
If you have any suggestions in regards to pre-amps please let me know.
Thanks again!
Mr. D would the Schiit Saga be a good choice for a this amp? It's $350.00 and has a remote control.
In an earlier thread you mentioned something about a power cord upgrade? Also would like to know what day your using.
Thanks again!
Received the Nuforce STA200, using my NAD as a pre-amp. The detail is amazing. I’m sure it will get better in the next week. I thank Mr. D for this great suggestion. For $500 this is a hell of a deal. My next step is trying to find a good preamp. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Mr. D
I received just part of your post. If you could re-send, I would appreciate it!
It’s very good, and I’m sure it will get better! Listening to Diana Krall

Interested in buying a power cable for the Nuforce STA200. I have $25.00 credit at Crutchfield, is the AudioQuest power cable NRG-1 any good? Signal Cable?
Mr. D. I appreciate the advice. I'm trying to create a second system upstairs, using my Epos Epic 2 speakers and my NAD C326Bee and my NAD C516BEE CD player; but you are right it doesn't have to be done yesterday!
FYI: My pieces that I am looking to upgrade/replace are: 
Preamp section of my NAD
Peachtree Dac-it
2nd CD player
upgrade of interconnects and power cords
I also plan to update my ZU drivers
That is what is on the planning board.
