Replace the Supratek Chardonnay with Accuphase?

Need your help to decide. I have the Supratek Chardonnay tube pre-amp paired with Accuphase A-60 power-amp. I was wondering if the Accuphase C-2410 pre would be a good replacement for the Chordanny?

Also, I have an Audionote DAC 3.1x Signature (unbalanced and moded) using the Marantaz CD-17 as the transport. I was thinking of replacing this pair with the Accuphase DP-500. your thoughts and suggetions appreciated.

I m no expert but in general tube amps compared to a SS *lack* bass
Actually it's the interface with the wrong spkrs that does that. BUT, anyway, you're speaking of the pre. Normally, there shouldn't be problems at one end of the spectrum (i.e bass) just because yr pre uses tubes. In fact tubes are quite good at amplifying small signals. It may be a characteristic of that particular pre -- but this is unlikely.
You've checked other parametres I assume (wires, source, etc)?
