Suggest what i used when I had the CD-PE-24, that is a Pass Aleph 5 or 3. Great amps. Well reviewed. I used Johnson Audio Alcatraz interconnetcs. The Pass have a balanced input as well as an unbalanced input so you're OK. BTW, I returned the CD-PRE for a TRIVISTA-21 DAC that MF just came out with. But you'll love the CD-PRE.
