Best integrated for PSB Imagine T2's

I have an NAD C390DD all digital integrated amplifier. I am considering a big improvement in a DAC, as in a PS Audio Perfectwave DAC. This along with my Project Xtension 10 turntable/musical surroundings nova phenomena phono preamp, would give me quality analog signal inputs from all my sources. Considering an upgrade to an integrated that could better process analog to my PSB Imagine T2 speakers with a big improvement in SQ, any thoughts on an endgame amp for around 5 to 6,000?

I'd blow off all your other component plans and get a pair of Marten Django's or Vandersteen Quatros and a Parasound Halo.

easola01 oops, my bad I thought the Django's were $6K and the Vandersteen Quatro's are now Quatro CT at $14K. Vandersteen Treo's are $8K. I was also discounting the $6K DAC. 

To be clear I consider well designed speakers the most important component. I went round and round prioritizing bandwidth in economical speakers. The very minute my out of position Avaoln's played with my crap electronics my trajectory with this hobby was significantly altered. Even my more than crap electronics waiting to be sold became acceptably impressive. 

Of second importance is my phono cartridge. If you value bass get two sealed DSP subs and not inside the speakers.
