One of my favorite solid state setups.
I wish I could tell you that I had compared the integrated with the separats but I only heard the separates with Wilsons.
It's going to sound a lot like my review of the Luxmans, and that's good. Deep bass, liquid liquid (doubled for emphasis) midrange and treble. Effortless and without a point to make. No fault at all. Noiseless. Makes conventional speakers sound like they have the endless range of horns.
Having said that, you should also listen to Ayre as a counter point. Very good sound with a kind of endless dark backdrop, like it takes noise out of the room.
Of course, another brand I love and own is Luxman, but if you are looking to buy D'Agostino already you may feel this a step down, but I don't mind.
What you might also wish to listen to is a Luxman tube pre with D'Agostino amp.
Let me know what you do.
