Luxman L-509X for ATC SCM 19v2/40v2, thinking integrated to start with


I like to listen to music at low to normal levels and wondering how Luxman L-509x will work or ATC SCM 19v2. I am considering starting with an integrated first and not go over $8k for amp and preamp. 

Initially I wanted to try ATI AT6002 and a Tube preamp with good phono stage and the price seems to be somewhat close to a good used integrated amp. 

Please suggest integrated with good phono stage and DAC less than $8k . Prefer 200w 8ohm output, but can settle for a bit less for good implementation.

I know you said integrated but you check all your boxes and stay under $8K by pairing a Cary SA-200.2 ES with a Cary SLP-98P.  On the integrated front I think that Luxman L-509X is hard to beat and I'm seeing them used a bit below your max price.
