Both a phono and DAC is a tough call. I have a Luxman CL 38, with no DAC that with some diligent shopping might be findable at that price. Good luck with the hunt

McIntosh makes a few and while the C2600 is $7,000 new your friend may be able to find a used example of this or a different model in his price range

All things considered I would either:

Get a McIntosh preamp that matched the amp fairly closely with phono and DAC or

Get a McIntosh integrated with phono and DAC, then sell the amp.
