Preamp help for First Watt F3

I'm thinking about getting the First Watt F3 to power my Zu Audio Druid MKIVs, but I've hear its a tougher amp to pair since its input impedance is 10k. I was wondering if you guys had some recommendations about which preamps go well with it? I was thinking about the Red Wine Audio Isabellina but not sure if that would work. My requirements are pretty simple, just a pre with the usual set of digital inputs. USB would be nice but not required.

Thanks for the info. I actually don't need any analog inputs. All digital is fine. The LS-100 might be a bit overkill considering all the inputs/outputs it has. The NAD M51 looks interesting but can it actually compete with the LS-100 or Perfectwave?

I like the idea of just getting a DAC with volume control but don't know of too many (especially high end) that offer this.
