any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?

I know built in dacs have historically have been a bit of an afterthought, currently looking at the Rotel Michi X3 series 2 as it has a nice chip set

any other integrated amps around the same price point with a good dac built in?

He sold the Boulder 866. I've listened to the Rotel Michi Integrated amplifier and their mono-amps. In my opinion they're both mediocre. Gryphon sounds very good, but after a really good friend's recent experience with repair of his Diablo 300 integrated amplifier, I would never purchase Gryphon.

I’ve listened to Boulder several times and I prefer a different sound. It doesn’t matter what my friend or I prefer. He made his choice based on listening to both in his system. I’m happy you love your Boulder 866. I’m curious if you directly compared the 866 to the SU-R1000?
