Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC?


With the BluOS2i MDC module, the C-388 essentially becomes a very high-power Bluesound PowerNode2i with 4 (A-B switchable) speaker outs. Besides NAD’s other streamer/integrated (M32, that doesn’t have A-B capability), is there any other brand offering the all-in-one features of C-388?

I am also looking for an alternative to NAD since it seems none of their integrated amps support DSD natively and that's important to me. Hegel H390 is great, but it is a much higher price option, and I also don't need as much amplifier power as the H390. The lower models, the H90, 190, etc. don't appear to have the same DAC (also no native DSD support on the lower models). I really like the Naim Uniti Atom, but here the amplifier is too weak. There are a few others but at much higher price points. So I am still searching for a good option. Hope others can suggest alternatives. 

John H. Darko in his article "15 ‘must-hear’ super-integrated amplifiers" has listed a few other options.
