So – this is NOT an integrated amp, but in case their same technology is in their integrated amps...

I’m curious about this because it’s a brand most audiophiles would think are mid-fi. But sometimes there are hi-fi products which just defy the median performance of the rest of the brand.

Enter, possibly, NAD. I just saw a nice review of the NAD:

And read this: https://www.stereophile.com/content/nad-c-298-power-amplifier

"The NAD C 298 is a transparent, uncolored, powerful stereo power amplifier. It can easily drive most speakers to levels that exceed domestic tranquility. A bridged pair extends the power capability further still. The NAD C 298 challenges more expensive amps and should impress discerning listeners regardless of budget."

@aj523 what I/O do you need then to have? basically what do you plan on inputting into this integrated?

Rogue Audio Pharaoh II see here

@kofibaffour 

Phono preamp  

@aj523 - in your integrated, do you require a phono preamp/stage, DAC, streamer, and/or a remote?

@kennyc 

phono/preamp stage - no

DAC - no but ok 

streamer - no

remote - Yes esp for volume control 

Peachtree Audio..

internal phono stages in most integrated amps are middling. I'd rather a Phono Preamp into an integrated @aj523

This Integrated - NAD Masters M33 BluOS Streaming DAC Audiophile Amplifier For Sale - US Audio Mart

or this - Hegel h390 For Sale - US Audio Mart

the NAD has 350W peak power with average 200W output into 8 ohm and has 550W transient power peak into 4 ohm with standard power delivery of 350W)

So it is very good at handling transient heavy recordings. same for the Hegel. So just pick the one you like the aesthetics of and add the Phono stage

@kofibaffour 

let me clarify, I have a phono preamp already and a damn good one - zestos Andros deluxe II. Sweet 

This is not an integrated but cost $4300 and I use it in my office system with Magnepan Mini’s. The amp is a beast and sounds really good. The weakest link in the system is the preamp, but it is not too shabby. The DAC in this package is supposed to be great and maybe better sounding than the more expensive DACs from the same guys. I have the more expensive MIB DAC instead of the cheaper (likely better) DAC included in the package.

Not often seen for sale… a Musical Fidelity Ñu-Vista 600 is on audio mart. 
200 wpc 

Peachtree Carina 300 has Hypex modules. 

dunno why u want a class d, I have a very nice octave v70se with phono, new is around $10k, maybe $9k, have one for $3000 with warranty

I’d get any Hegel over a nad. If had a few hegels, a rogue Cronus magnum with kt120’s, Classe, Jolida, Auralic, ps audio, and a couple of McIntosh 6500 and 6900.

Not sure why you are specific on a class d or ice amp.

@aj523 noted. My recommends for integrated amps still stand then. Good luck

Rogue Audio Pharaoh II , absolutely BADD ass.  Powers my Magnapan 1.6QR like no other , most excellent 

@aj523 

You didn’t mention speakers it would be paired with, but I’m assuming the Fyne 1-8S from previous thread?  If so, I’d be careful with a hypex/class d - my understanding is they’re optimized for 4 ohm speakers, and your Fynes are efficient (91 db) 8 ohm speakers.  Even apart from that, I also wonder why class d, particularly when you don’t need massive power to drive those speakers?

btw, if you relax the class d requirement, but definitely want solid state, you might want to consider Simaudio 340i X.  Priced at $5k.

+1 on Hegel, a h390 or larger should fit your needs. 

Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier solid 200wpc, Anthem room correction, I have the preamp on Yamaha M2 amplifier Solid, musical, and ARC works great. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_973STRBK/Anthem-STR-Integrated-Amplifier-Black.html

If you shop you may find a used McIntosh MA7900 for about 5M. I have one and highly recommend. It is class A.
