Preamp HELP!!! for Pass Aleph 3


I have a Pass Aleph 3 and Proac Response 1SC, Red Dawn speaker cable. I currently have a choice of Naim CD 3.5, SF SFCD-1, and Conrad Johnson DV2b. I have Cardas Golden Cross between my BAT VK3i preamp and the Pass, and Red Dawn between the CD player and the BAT. Does anyone know a better full function preamp I could be using? Which CD player would you use? Or any system modifications I could make?

First of all, lose the cheap power cables that Pass sends with thier amps! Second, lose the Bat preamp,Tubes with this amp don't work. Get the Pass X1.Get a good phono preamp. Stick with the Sony Sacd-1, nothing touches it!
P.S I had the BAT5 preamp thinking that i might like it better then my Classe six. The Classe blew it away, and it is also full function! Got rid of the Bat, kept the Classe. I have since been using the Pass X1, now this preamp is in a league of it's own. I have had the Classe for years, iam now trying to sell it. If you need more details you can feel free to e- mail me.
