If you had £1500 to spend, what DAC & IC would you buy to complete this chain?

 

iMac -> [USB] -> [Balanced DAC] > [XLR IC] -> GS-X amp

 

 

 

I've been recommended the DAC1, Lavry LA 11 and 8200CD as possible DACs, and DiMarzio and Black Dragon's as XLRs.

UPDATE:

So I've ordered the 8200CD to use as the DAC, now looking for ICs to complete the setup...

Black / Silver Dragon?

DiMarzio?
