I would opt for a used Manley Chinook phono stage, and a Denafrips Venus DAC.
Have not heard any better DAC until you reach 10K.

Phone Stage and DAC for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium
My current setup is a NAD M12/M22 v2 into Tannoy 8 dcti speakers. My digital sources are an Innous Zenith MK2 (primary) and (secondary) M12 BluOS module for Tidal MQA. I also have my trusty Technics SL-1600 MK2 turntable with Ortofon Blue that I'm going to replace with the SL-1200GR. I have Wireworld interconnects, and mostly VooDoo power cables, with a Furman 15psi power conditioner.
I have not yet treated my listening room. I wanted to get a warmer, more musical sound first and then treat the room. I have considered buying a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated amp. I live in the DC area, and have had two dealers give me that same recommendation because of my speakers. I plan to audition the PrimaLuna over the next month or so.
Assuming I go that route, I'm going to need a phone stage and DAC. I'd like to get recommendations from current owners of the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium.

- For the DAC, I'm giving strong consideration to the MYTEK BROOKLYN DAC+ HEADPHONE AMP PREAMPLIFIER because of the reviews I've read. My budget is $2,500.
- For the phone stage, I'm just looking for recommendations. My budget is $1,500.
