Knowing you have the Krell amp look for a tube preamp with balanced [XLR] outputs and a home theater bypass input.
Now that we know you aren't using the Denon for power for the front channels, I would do two things, start with a tube preamp and second get a dac.
You still have not mentioned budget.
No connection so no conflict of interest, I just looked Upscale Audio has 3 Aesthetix preamps, 2 used, all at decent prices. And maybe you can get one even cheaper. Before PS Audio built their own preamp, that was the preamp Paul was using. Probably the Signature edition, but I think you can send it in later if you want that upgrade.
As to a dac, I don't like the Tascam not having a USB input, but you can buy a USB to coax converter. I am going on having read a lot of John's posts, that it is good. I personally would buy a PS Audio dac, one of the Directstreams. They will take any decent audio gear in trade. Go look at their dacs and trade in policy.
Do those two things, work on isolating your components and maybe upgrade cables, depending on what you are using now. You should be able to get everything but the deep bass. The Legacy speakers you have should do cymbals and decent detail.
Does this make sense?
