@essrand Agreed on the distasteful comments about price range, as if only morons would possibly shop for products that cost 10-$15K. I wish people would keep their sense of value to themselves - it's quite off-putting shaming someone who has a larger than average budget just as it is on the other end of spectrum when someone goes super frugal.
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.
