Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers

Going to pick up a pair of Classe Omega monoblock amplifiers this week. Need to select a pre-amp for it.

Was wondering which Classe pre-amps were considered their best offerings?

Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.

FWIW supporting AES48 at the input of an amplifier is fairly easy. The concern is not having to listen to interconnect cables to get the 'sound' right. If AES48 is supported its plug and play; one of its goals is to eliminate interconnect cable interaction.

If you want to get the most out of balanced operation, with whatever preamp you look at, ask if it supports AES48, the balanced line standard. Most high end audio preamps don't.
