Default Maxima Amator with MA12000 or E800 or Diablo 300

I'm trying to build a new system based around the Maxima Amator.

1. McIntosh MA12000 (already includes DAC)

2. Accuphase E800 with DAC-50

3. Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module

When I had the Guarneri Memento with C3850, A200, and DG58, the sound was very good, but a little soft. It was better with the Nagra. More detail, better bass, more musical, and more toe tapping.

I believe the Maxima Amator has that old school Sonus Faber sound, probably similar to the Guarneri Memento. So the Accuphase may not be a good match. Anyone has experience with Sonus Faber and MA12000 or Diablo 300?
