Need help chosing a preamp


Currently burning in my Luxman 10Mx and in need of a preamp. I’ve heard there’s great synergy between the Luxman amp and preamp combo. My question would it be better to match my preamp to the Dac so I my options:

Nagra tube Dac/Nagra HD preamp/Luxman 0mx or

Nagra tube Dac/Luxman preamp/amp combo

plan is to eventually run the Luxman in mono mode

Thanks

In terms of sound quality the better part of a Luxman combination IMHO is the preamp, not the amp.  Not saying the amp isn't great, but that the liquid midrange and extended bass and treble is from the preamp.
