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.

Vitus RL-102 you should look at.

I suggest you view the U-Tube Jays Audio Lab. Accuphase E-800 is it any good? He really pans the integrated. In fact he stated the Luxman 590 out performed it. Axiss Distribution the company that imports Accuphase prices the line way too high. Said the E-800 should be between 12-14K at the most. Also if you don't have highly efficient speakers it runs out of gas.

He ran both the 590 and the E-800 on the Wilson Sashas. The Luxman had no problem w/the speakers. By the way he bought that Accuphase from someone I know that shops at my local dealer. He had the E-800 for 2 months w/Harbeth 40.2's. He went to the Luxman 900 separates and is quite happy.
