I have used the Ref5SE with the SA-Reference.
I think it is a good combination but you might want to check your speakers' sensitivity and the output levels of your source as well.
I found the XDS1 output to be really high and in conjunction with my 90dB sensitivity speakers, I could not turn up the volume dial past 25 or it would get very loud. It was much better with my Phono amp.
