All In One Tube Preamp____? Remote; Line(s); Phono; DAC (used or new: $3,500 budget)


All In One Tube Preamp____? Remote Control; Line(s); Phono; DAC.

Used, New, budget $3,500.

Note: doesn’t matter whether I or you know/think separates are better, a friend has limited space and wants it all together. Standard provided features or ADD-In options work.

What’s out there ______? Tubes, not a hybrid.

as always, thanks for the help

I thought if one or two combined units existed, this crowd might know.

Has Amp: he wanted Big Blue Meters all his life, bought a MC7270 like this

I was looking at McIntosh C8, new retro look with remote, tubes: comes with 1 phono (switch in rear: either mc or mm)

can add their DAC card DA2 in the back which can be upgraded later

C8 for sale $3,125.

DA2 card $_____?

3 schitt separates only add up to $2,100, but take a bit more space

 

$1,150: freya + tube line preamp with remote

$ 600. Lyr 3 tube phono

$ 350. Asguard SS DAC thru tube line freya +

Here’s a McIntosh C8 with the optional DAC card installed, fills the bill

remote, phono, dac

 

McIntosh C220 comes close, remote, phono, no dac, many more inputs

looks more like his 7270 amp

 

hell freezes over before he parts with that 7270 with big meters.

I like the c220 which resembles the 7270 and a separate dac that will be changed/upgraded later anyway.

 

I would like the C8 with the DAC card to pair with a MC275, similar look.
