Change from processor to preamp help


I have been using a Meridian pre/pro, 568, for past 3 years and am ready to attempt higher audio! I'm interested in selling my pro. and buying a preamp along with a new cdp or dac. I currently use the meridian with inexpensive sony dvd/cd player/recorder. I am also changing my b&w monitors out for merlin tsm's. I plan on buying an denon or sony receiver with preouts to use into my cary cinema 5 amp. What preamp do you recommend? I need something reasonable, I'm getting started here people. Also, would you recommend I keep my dvd/cdp and invest in a dac or go with a new cdp into the preamp?

Thanks,

JWH

Thanks for the input. I use a hsu sub now but would like to move up to REL in the next several month. I'll leave as is for the time being and see how the tsm's sound.
