I'd leave it and wait around for either an Arcam Alpha 9P or 10P power amp 🙂
Trust me; ive been there and done that and wished i hadnt bought the Delta 290!

I am looking for a 9P on ebay., but I am going to demo the naim nait 5i. Any one compared this to the Alpha 9 ?
With your set-up i dont think youll like the Naim; but that will be your decision when you demo.
I personally dont like the Naim sound, more so when partnered with my RS6 speakers. I find the sound too lean and the treble just sounds wrong.
Naim against Arcam is like chalk and cheese. I reckon if you get yourself a quality example of the Arcam Alpha 9P power amp or the Arcam Alpha 10P power amp; you'll be happy 🙂

Keep your Alpha 9 or upgrade to an Alpha 10. There are a couple of these going for sale on E-bay for below £200.00. Forget about the DiVA range - the Alphas are much better! (IMO)
Well I went for an A32 in the end. I have reconfigured the alpha 9 as a power amp and used it on the LF drivers. All Arcams are gain matched so all fine there. The sound is much more detailed BI amping the two. So far I am impressed with the setup
