Hi Steve.
I know you got plenty of pocket money to play with. However.
At 199$ you can get e.g. a Sumoh Full Digital Amp (instead if seperate DAC and AMP with associated seperation issues) Add to it a 140$ Hiface II or a 170$ Audio GD DI II with reclocker.
That's what I call value for the money.
Of course you can run your Dragonfly into a chinese 100$ Class-D Amp. Which might turn out to be a nice sounding setup too.
Since I'm a DIY minded person and an engineer by profession, I'm a bit more flexible when it comes to heating up the soldering iron.
I got my DIY Full Digital amp for 50$ and currently run a Audio-GD interface. This setup replaces pretty my well tweaked Sabre/AMP combos.
Enjoy.
