Integrated amp recommendations


I have YG Carmel 1 speakers. I am after either:
- an all in one integrated including DAC and streamer. I was thinking
- Bel Canto e1x .
- the Naim uniti Nova
- a Luxman combined with a streamer/dac/server all in one unit
- something else around a similar price point

I prefer quite a rich sound, with sweet highs

your thoughts appreciated.

YG caramel are great speakers. Of the choices you mentioned, I have used Naim uniti nova and loved them. They are very very good and you will not be disappointed. I sold it and sometimes I regret selling that. I wanted to go class A and now have luxman 590axii and they are different level. Even though it is rated at 30 watts, they are more powerful and they can drive caramel easily (they can drive most speakers with sensitivity > 86) as long you don’t want it very loud. I am now using luxman 590axii with lumin t2. Depending on your budget you will love the combination of luxman 590axii or 509 with lumin t2 or x1. I think the sweet spot will be to get 2 units (integrated amplifier with streamer/dac) rather than going all in one or all separate.
