Xindac SACD 2 recomend a DAC
I have owned the SCD-2 for over a year. I found the stock SACD playback to be excellent in my system, which is over $30K, including Nearfield 924 loudspeakers, which are highly revealing. About 6 months ago I had it moded. This improved both SACD ... 
Pre/Amplification for Amati Homage

What is the right cable for B & W 802's?
Eichmann eXpress Series 2, model 4 would be a really good recommendation- model 6 even better. Awesome value!!!!!! I do think you will need something like Walker Audio HDLs to compensate for the RFI/EMF you are likely to have as a result of such l... 
Tube-pre and interconnect match for Krell FPB-300

What Preamp for ML Sequals & ESL amp?
Personally I prefer solid state preamp (I love my BVaudio P1). Think about it, this is the heart of your system everything should be processed untainted. If you want tube sound use either CD player with tube output, or tube amp(s). 
Where can I get educated about cables?
You've already gotten good advice about cables. Now let's move on. Do you want a really good sounding "system", then get on with your life and enjoy it, or do you want to play? Your components are excellent by themselves. Whether they work as a te...
