With the speakers that you've got in the running and given that you're intending to buy a better DAC later anyway, try the Naim SuperNait. If you like it you might have to save up for a bit longer, but I reckon you'll find the presentation to be much more engaging than either the Arcam or MF. Or maybe you'll find it a bit OTT - that will depend on your tastes, but defo worth a go I reckon if there's any conceivable way you Amp+DAC budget could stretch to £2600 ish.

that is an interesting recommendation. I have heard the Naim Nait XS and really liked it. But they keep their prices extremely well, haven't seen one for less than £1k I think. Would be interesting to find out how well the Supernait onboard DAC fares against the sub £500 DAC market (rDac, MF M1, and Rega DAC).

That must be a real sales point, just in case you have a separate CD player and SACD player and you couldn't bear the thought of running the SACD in through an AUX input
