Hegel H360 vs Accuphase E470


I currently have a Hegel H160, but am looking to upgrade to something with more authority to power my Vandersteen Treos.

With trade-in, the price between demo models on the Hegel H360 and Accuphase E470 are roughly comparable. However, only the Hegel offers the built in streaming DAC which is super handy when not listening to vinyl (my main source).

Would be interested to hear if people have experience with these two units. How do they stack up in your opinion?

Thanks in advance!

Depending how much power you need you can also check out an Esoteric F-05 or F-03A or Grandioso F-1.
I have a F-03A (30w/ch) pure class A that have replaced a stack of ARC tube separates and I am not looking back. The sonic are just stunning. 
Same league as Accuphase.
