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.
