Best DAC for over 2000
I absolutely love the Exogal Comet Plus. I was skeptical, but there hasn't been any urge to replace the Exogal. This also replaced my Melody PB101 preamp and the Exogal is better. The.bluetooth control is easy and never fails. This has been a joy ... 
Exogal DAC
The Exogal Comet is one of the most musical dacs I have owned. Very enjoyable and the Bluetooth app. for volume works excellant. My dac search is over.

DeVore Super 8s with SS amp?

tube pre suggestions
The Dehavilland Ultra Verve 2 is a steal on Audiogon right now. No, I do not know the seller. I own the CES show demo.

Vandersteen 2/3 vs. 3A MM de Capo vs. GMA Europa
Look at Devore Fidelity Gibbon 8's and enjoy. 
AES AE-25 Superamp Owners Manual?
Call AES direct. They were very kind and gave me all the directions I needed years ago. Emails hold little weight. They are busy and answer when they get time. With the holidays and CES coming up, make the phone call.....
