The first assumption is not true, most of the time. Nevertheless, whether the £650 are worth the difference, or whether they could be "better spent" on speakers (or whatever), that's entirely up to you.
IMHO, I would say that a "reasonable" expense scheme would be : 2/3 on speakers 1/3 on amplifier if the sum of the above is over £1200-1500, then you can consider investing £200-300 on a modern dac (that you'll keep until your system's value reaches £5000).
