vintage yamaha versus sony amps or ?


just starting in HIFI.
Need some advice. Looking at buying Sony E77 amp or Yamaha M60.Do I need to buy corresponding preamp or should I buy modern preamp, or should I buy a DAC to hook up to amp?
All my music is either CD or HI DEF Itunes played though MC book pro.
Thank you for taking the time.

Music enjoyment is not complicated. If you like old music - buy vintage equipment,if you like the new sound - buy modern electronic.
Sound engineering and music creation are different every generation and needed to be matched of the engineer and artist intended.
