Looking for a simple but exquisite front end

I just bought a pair of ATC SCM 19A's and was wondering if the Audiolab 9000N would be a good choice. Apparently the speakers require an active preamp. I have no idea if the preamp section in the Audiolab is active or passive, or if this is even a solution. Please help. First pair of powered speakers, active or otherwise.

Check out the Eversolo DMP-A8. It’s an exceptional all-in-one streamer/DAC/preamp. Its DAC is equal and even superior to some standalone DACs I’ve owned that match or exceed the retail price of the Eversolo. Its preamp is as transparent as a good passive unit. Its streaming UI is one of the best on the market.

I ultimately preferred the DMP-A8 to my $6600 worth of front end separates.
