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.

My thinking would be to purchase a used quality integrated amplifier and a USB DAC. What is your budget? Do you currently have speakers or will you be looking for those as well?
