Have you heard the Hegel?Going from tube pre-amp and amps (300Bs, no less) to a $2000 SS amp/DAC? Seems like a set up for disappointment.
I'd recommend a Rogue Cronus Magnum II (100 tube wpc, $2495 list) and keeping the Metrum Octave. To me it sounds best with KT66s (55 wpc) but you can use EL34s, 6L6GCs KT77s, 6550s, KT88s, KT90s, or KT120s at various power levels up to 100 wpc.
Edited for additional tubes.
