Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp

McIntosh MA9000, It has a photo stage dac but no streamer 

Cost of 11K new, But you can find them use for 9K or a little less 

You could buy a blue node streamer, all for under 10k 

I happen to have a McIntosh MA9000 with an upgraded dac

(D2)  😁,  sitting in my closet, I upgraded to separates.

Been wanting to sell it. 

Hegel and Parasound and Billie would be my list

I’m personally like simple integrated with separate streamer w dac .

all of this recommended equipment is so far out of my price range I can offer little guidance in that range...its totally beyond my experience. But as a point of reference, I have a TA-1 sold by emotiva that I really love. Its an integrated dac/pre amp with sub output and rca outputs to drive bigger amps if desired, but honestly it sounds wonderful thru the built in amplifier. Will it drive inefficient speakers to ear splitting levels? No, but it will drive them to reasonably loud and satisfying levels. It comes with a decent FM tuner and coaxial/optical inputs and a phono input as well and serves me nicely in an office system. If others are looking for a solution for that kind of environment, you'd be hard pressed to find something better at its price and probably at twice the price. I think this is currently offered at $499.00.

I have to ask, what do you guys do for a living that allows this level of disposable income for equipment? Its so far out of my playing field I cannot comprehend having that kind of budget.
