I have the DNA-2 LAE in my 2-channel system and I'm using a Primare P30 pre/pro (100% analog in 2-channel by-pass mode.
I've A/B compared the P30 with a burned-in Ayre k3-x preamp in my home. The P30 was much more transparent and detailed with less coloration. However, the k3-x was sweet and a bit more musical but at a great cost.
I've also compared the P30 in my home with a CJ PV-14 and an Electrocompaniet. There was no comparison. The CJ and Electro were warm but simply way too subdued.
The Primare P30 retails for around $3500.
You should also look at installing some dedicated lines for all your components, especially for the amp. This will certainly help make your system more robust.
