Agree with a Tube Preamp, but not a lean sounding one that sounds like SS. With the DNA 1 w/MG3a’s you need a preamp to wake things up. Plenty nice affordable preamps out there and I bring it up every time because for the money I still think it’s The King; Modwright SWL 9.0 SE has PRAT. The little Modwright has a basic remote too. If you don’t care about a remote and on a budget, older Conrad and Johnson preamps are very nice.
