McIntosh MB50 streamer, new 2K used ? An generous number of integrated choices. Previously owned will keep you under 7K. Not everybody is enamored with the McIntosh sound signature. Check them out before you buy. AB
All in One amp up to $7k
Hi, needed some advice.
Looking for an all in one amplifier- including streaming. Had earlier settled on and bought a Hegel 590 - but could not ship it to Dubai from the US, sold it to a friend of mine.
Any recommendations? In the $5k-$7k range? At least 150w into 8 Ohms.
I had looked at Gold Note- but not completely sure. PS Audio Stellar Strata MK2 fits the bill though not sure how good it is.
Also though I didn’t listen to the Hegel H590 I have this feeling that it would have been awesome.

@arizonabob thanks. It seems it is a streamer/pre-amp akin to an Eversolo for example. Am looking at an integrated with streaming. Currently homing in on a Hegel H390 |
I you liked the Naim Atom, you might want to consider the Naim Uniti Nova. I haven't heard either, but with the Nova, you would have the convince of the Atom with more power. I own the Hifi Rose RS520 and it is great as an all in one amp. It doesn't compete with some of the better amps that I've owned in the past, but as a streamer with the watts you are looking for (and a wonderful touch display), it is a pretty nice unit and well below budget. The Lyngdorf 3400 might be another consideration in the $7k range.
