Clearly not, at least not in my book, why don't you start by saying what amp you heard which you liked, didn't liked and why, which sound you're after and what music you listen too.
People here are very talented at spending hypothetical dollars, they will spend your 3k $ like it's nothing and spending 500$ on an amp and 1'500$ on an DAC is in my humble opinion madness.
From the amp that I actually owned I enjoyed the LCD-2 quite a lot with the Meier combo concerto+stagedac, the burson is a good match too and the audio-gd phoenix in balance mode had a lot of punch.
Well in my case it's really not hypothetical. I own the LCD-2 and the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2. I use the Violectric V200 as an amp but I substituted the Lyr because it fits inside the budget and MANY people in this thread use it with the LCD-2 and love it. Many people in this thread actually have the W4S/Lyr/LCD-2 combo so your opinion actually does seem to be humble and misguided.
As far as having a great source well you really can't beat that concept now can you. Starting the chain with a very good source is far from madness and will always pay great sonic benefits.
