Integrated Amplifier balanced

I need some help in buying a Solid-state integrated amp. All my music is coming from a DAC (Slim Devices Transporter). The requirements are:

0. The best possible music within my budget (I listen to classical and vocal music).
1. Must support balanced inputs.
2. Dual voltage (110/220).
3. Under $3,000 used or new.
4. Solid build.

Bonus
1. Headphone output.

Greatly appreciate any advice.

The new Krell S 300i may be something to consider with evolution technology, a high current 150w/ch @8ohms and 300 @4ohms. It even has ipod connectivity with fully balanced signal transfer...it appears this integrated is now truly balanced in design and execution. Sound is supposed to be more holographic and dimensional with lower distortion and more accurate tone/timbre. The remote is now metal and fully loaded with functionality. Price is $2500 (china assembly) and the weight is 40lbs....now that's value!
