My first question will be: Why?
Let's say theoretically you get it right by using a dedicated pre-amp and you manage to only use the Devialet and the Cayin as power amps; the pre-amp only attenuates the signal. Each "power amp" will have potentially wildly different output levels. You will have to level match the 2 power amps by using additional in-line attenuators.
You will also be getting potentially two very different sounding amps powering your speakers.
Both these "issues" are true for both your option 1 and 2.
