Hey Streetdaddy,
I've got a pair of Opus, which I love..no they're not for sale! I use a Spectral DMA-150 with a Spectral preamp and I think they're great together. The build quality of Spectral is second to none and the 150 has plenty of power to drive the Opus to any level you want and can stand. However, if you're planning to run your CD 50 straight into an amp,
Spectral doesn't recommend that it's my understanding. You might be able to run the CD 50 into a Mark Levinson, possibly a Rowland, and maybe a few others I'm sure. I play vinyl so I need a preamp. Make sure you get an amp that has enough power, because the Opus will need it to sound their best. There aren't a lot of used Opus around. I think I remember seeing only a pair or two here on Audiogon within the last six months. If you can find a pair, jump on them; I'm sure you'll be pleased with their performance and craftsmanship.
