My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy?
Definetely MC2 audio (MC-1250 or MC-750) both much better than Parasound JC-1's & extremely cheap!But if budget is no object than undoubtly Reyaudio or FM acoustics.No matter which of the three brands you will take, your search will be over 
Best Amp for Parasound JC2
Try MC2 MC-1250 or MC2 MC-750 nothing beats them if combined with Parasound JC-2, actually better than parasound's own JC-1, and much much much cheaper. 
Amp for JBL 250 Ti
Fm acoustics fm-811, reyaudio, mc2 mc-1250, mc2 mc-750, electrocompaniet the very old version, all are better than the choices above mentioned.

King of the Non oversampling DAC's? Lavry /Kondo ?

Will Cello Duet 350 drive Apogee Diva?
The very best for powering Apogee Diva is Reyaudio(top model Mono amps only), FM acoustics(FM-811, FM-1000 & higher) or Boulder(higher types, like 2060 and higher) those are all much better than the weak Cello Duet or unmusical Krell amps 
Will Cello Duet 350 drive Apogee Diva?
No not enough drive, Cello Duet can drive Apogee Diva but not too its full beauty.You need a power-amp with more REAL power !At least a Cello Performance or better---> 
120V or 240V
240V will sound better
