All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only

For a second system. I want to buy a SS all-in-one integrated. At least 200W in 8ohm.

When I say all-in-one means it has to have DAC built-in (preferable a very nice DAC commensurate to the price point of the system). I would highly prefer a streamer built-in as well.

Am super excited about the new Boulder 866. It seems to be the only one satisfying all the criterion.

Another option could be the Accuphase E-800 with DAC module (but no streaming).
DAG Progression but it crosses 18K without DAC.

Any other options?
I am not interested in anything Class-D. It has to be Class A/B amplifier.

Speakers are TBD as well.

I recomend a hegel h390 and dCS Bartok. Slightly over the price but this combo is incredible. I am waiting to hear the D’agostino progression integrated but it is $23k and I am not sure how that dac implementation will sound.

I currently use a Hegel H360 and Bartok paired with the Magico S1MKII. I would choose your speakers first and then find the electronics to pair with them.
