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.

Electrocompaniet,YBA Audio,Mark Levinson,Mcintosh MA-5300 & Unison Research ALL offer world class sound with all the features you are looking for...
Brinkmann is bringing out their new Voltaire,I imagine it will be $10-12K...
I still say at half your budget the Electrocompaniet would kick serious audio A$$ in a blind listening test..
Well yesterday I had the chance to sit in the sweet spot between Harbeth M40.2 speakers driven by Hegel H590,cabled completely with some expensive Cardas cables in a dedicated room 20'x16'x10'..I'm sorry folks but my KT88 Cayin has more body,better defined imaging & WAYYY better staging,reaching deeper & farther outside the speakers...The SS rig just never disappeared the way my M30.1's do..
