All in One amp up to $7k

I have had great luck with my Anthem STR all in one, for 3 years now. 200 wpc into 8, doubles into 4. Preamp includes room correction software which I needed for my new room setup and it works flawlessly. Has a built in dac that works well with all the requisite inputs. I did ultimately decide to upgrade to a separate dac (echoing the point made by others) but I do use it as the dac for my cd transport. It has a great interface, is built like a tank and drives a $7K pair of speakers quite well thank you very much. There probably are marginally better sounding all in ones out there but I doubt at anywhere near this price. It had a retail when I bought it of $4500 but I believe that’s risen to around $5500. Still worth it and then some. Good luck to you! 

@g2the2nd will look at Nad over the weekend.

@melbergall I have eyed an Anthem STR for sometime - the heft scares me a bit. Will try and listen to one. Finding a used one in Dubai could be a challenge- let’s see.

I'd consider the Atoll SDA-300 (or 200).  $5500 all in one.  150W, 2 toroidal transformers, dedicated power supplies for analogue stages as well as the dac.  Discrete class A preamp circuitry.  Burr brown dac

I, personally, like the advice of a separate streamer and integrated due to the ever changing streaming technology.

@greenngoldcheesehead Have heard a lot about Atoll. In Dubai, difficult to find. Maybe on my next trip to Europe- sometime next year.

I did try the Devialet Expert 220 earlier this week. Small package - breadth and width as much as  Project turntable. Height almost nothing. Great sound. Decent remote. Pathetic app. No Tidal support. Overall the sound was good, very good but could not better the Gato/Eversolo A6 combo. So returned it.
