Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s

Don’t like the appeal of Accuphase. I’m married so WF is in play. Also learned 505 has preamp so need that and  a DAC. Will use Roon Rock I built myself (Nucleus clone). 

Perhaps Luxman? Thanks for your advice. 

Thanks! I was looking for an integrated though. Not sure i need to go separates for these bookshelves. 

I'm still in the research stage. With Luxman integrated, would I need a PREAMP, or do I just need a DAC and streamer? I'm a little confused about Luxman Integrated offering. 

Thank you! Greatly appreciated. I'll see if I can hear one in Chicago somewhere. Was contemplating MA8900 for looks and auto transformers, as my dealer has a used/mint one, but claims this is worse than my M33... 

I started looking at McIntosh MA8900 (could get a deal on few month's old piece), and few other amps all which are so deep in size I couldn't fit them in my BDI cabinet. Then I looked at Accuphase and only 16.61 inches. Unfortunately, no dealers in Chicagoland I could find that sell these. Search continues...

Anything else I should look into? Go back to Hegel H390? 😉

I finally heard Luxman with these Kantas 1 and was simply blown away. I was loving the Luxman L-550AXII (pure class A amp at 20W at 8ohms). Dealer had Luxman, Focal (Kanta 1) and many other brands. If I were to go with Luxman 550, I will need a DAC and a streamer, right? I have a Roon Core already. 

My budget is up to 5k. Need to be able to have TV connected to the DAC for audio.

Would anyone have any advice on DAC/Streamer under 5k? I, at least, would need an optical in. 

Good idea on Bluesound Node as a streamer (temp DAC). Thanks. Still contemplating that used McIntosh MA8900 with DA1 DAC. All in one solution. Hard choice.

Will definitely update you and everyone else. I just ordered it hours ago so should get it in the next few days. 

Well, I traded the M33 for a Hegel H390, but something was still missing. Just bought a mint condition Luxman L-550AXII from an authorized dealer. Now i need a streamer and I have couple ideas on what to get.

Most of you here recommended Luxman and I hope I am not going to regret it. Anyone wants to buy my Hegel H390? 6 months old with all the candy. ;)

Node X just came out but I went for Ever Solo DMP-A6. Thing is ill be without streamer for 10 days. Luxman is arriving on Saturday. 

Received an excellent/used Luxman today from authorized dealer. I love it!! Very nice amp. Cant run it past 10-11 o’clock or its too loud in condo. Run it without REL first and bass was good (best i have had here, considering the issues in the room and placement). Once I added T5X, this filled up nicely. I am really enjoying it. Currently running it via Node 3rd Gen) but it still sounds good. Ever Solo arrives in about a week. Will see if anything will improve. I will run it balanced and since I have to get XLR cables im thinking of switching to Cardas Iridium, from Nodost BlueHeaven. Not sure if thats a smart move or not.

@decooney Thank you for your input. Yea since I am already invested in all Bluehaven cables, changing to the other brand is probably not the most effective move. But what in hi fi audio is? :D

Anyway, I will just get an XLR interconnect for my streamer to amp connection and be done with it for now. If I decide to upgrade the DAC, I will rethink this again. 

@decooney I understood your suggestion. In my case that would be a lateral move, so I get it. :)
