I have a C2700 feeding a pair of MC 611s—a great preamp with outstanding functionality. Also, the DA2 module is outstanding; it will compete with anything up to $5K. I know this because my separate DAC retails for $19K and does everything better, but the DA2 puts a smile on my face for its value. The DA2 module is also modular, and I have a feeling that in a couple of years, a DA3 is on the horizon.
