Preamp for Upgraded McCormack DNA-225


My stock DNA-225 is scheduled for Steve McCormack's "Platinum" upgrades. This will provide me with balanced (and unbalanced) inputs. What would anyone with experience recommend with respect to a tube preamp with balanced ins and outs for roughly $4K retail. Remote is not necessary. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the Bent, but the Sonic Euphoria uses an autoformer that solves the dynamics problem of passives. It is totally transparent.
Would you consider a SOTA passive, the balanced Sonic Euphoria? Perfect also for the DNA's 100kOhms input impedance.
