Pairing DAC with a Tube AMP

Hi Everyone,
I have a Telekit 8600S paird with a set of Omega 8 XRS speakers. (I haven't actually set up the system yet because the amp is still on its way here). But I have a question about my setup that I thought you might be able to help me with. I'm thinking of getting a good DAC for my system. Something decent but not very expensive. My budget is around $800. Here is my basic question. Should I go for a DAC that has a tube-like sound signature, for example ARES II, or should I go with a neutral and clear DAC, such as the Topping D90, because I'm already getting the tube sound signature from the amp-speaker combo? I like the tube sound signature. But I don't want to over do it. But I also don't want to diminish it with a flat DAC. Do you have any recommendations about this? I am completely new to this forum and to electronics. So any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

cheers,
WoodMizer
