Together or separate 2-channel rigs?
Since your budget is much higher than I would be able to spend, consider these options.
NAD C375BEE/DAC, NAD 390DD, Or NAD M2 for the Heresys and as mentioned, a high quality tube amp for the LaScalas.

Hey Bill.From the looks of things your audio budget was/is pretty hefty.I am living in the north at present in employer supplied housing{1 bdrm apt} so no room for my LaScalas.I just purchased the Heresy's so just looking to build a two channel system with those for now.Thanks for your input.Cheers.Laurence
My gear has been pieced together over the last seven years and I am a c-list bargain junky.
So, what is your budget? You mentioned Parasound Halo, Bryston, and Simaudio so I assumed you have a little more $$$ than the average Joe for gear.

I figure 6-8k including power,cd,turntable ,cables etc.I too love a bargain and have been checking out Canuckaudio mart.I have no problem buying used and there are some good deals to be had also the less I spend the happier my wife and therefore I will be.I have to admit the choices are somewhat overwhelming.Please read my reply to Steven in this thread.Thanks Bill.Laurence
