Preamp for a Dan D'Agostino S250MxV Amp

Curious if anyone has had good success with other preamps on Dan D'Agostino amplifiers other than Dan D'Agostino.  I assume the best possible sound will be from using a Dan D'Agostino HD Preamp with my S250MxV. 

I know I should demo them from my local dealer but no one is close to me. 

Thank you for the advice!

I think it would be a temp preamp while I save up for a DD preamp.   I figure McIntosh holds it's value pretty well?

And I would either sell the McIntosh after or possible move it into a secondary room.

The Audio Research LS28SE would be closer in cost to the C2700.  

Do I need to investigate the output impedance of the preamp and the input impedance of the S250 which is 1M ohm?

LS28SE: OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 600 ohms Balanced, 300 ohms SE Main (2), 20K ohms minimum load and 2000pF maximum capacitance.

C2700: Output Impedance 100 ohms Unbalanced 200 ohms Balanced

Both the ARC and the McIntosh will work.
