Integrated streaming amplifiers under $3000


Howdy! Since you fine folks have been supremely helpful in the past, here is another question for you. I'm *finally* upgrading my system's front end from a Schiit stack and Adcom GFA555 to something better suited to my speakers. I currently have a pair of Dynaudio Contour 20s and am looking for an amp that:

  • Puts out between 150 and 200 wpc into 4 ohms
  • Must have an integrated DAC with a variety of inputs
  • Clean, minimalist form factor (I'm a big fan of silver faceplates also)
  • Has a remote control option
  • Is solid state or hybrid (I dont want to get onto the tube treadmill)
  • BONUS points for streaming capabilities (this isnt a total dealbreaker but is highly preferred)
  • Has a nice balanced presentation that is detailed but not ice cold, for context the Contours are slightly laid back but bring out great detail as well, so something that pairs well
  • Can be had used or new for under $3000

So far I've considered the Hegel H120/190, Parasound HINT, Primare i35 Prisma, and on the lower end the Heaven 11 Billie. Basically are there any others that I should be considering? Thanks!

You should definitely audition the PS Audio Strata. It matches your specs exactly. It’ll be 20% off Black Friday week. If you want to get rid of any existing stuff he’ll give you trade in value at full list price.
You should be able to grab it for $1800.
