The Axxess Forté line of integrateds are equipped with incredibly good DACs and have HT bypass.
Their primary distortion signature is second harmonic which is possibly what accounts for their great sound quality.
Also have nice remotes and a simple, easy to see display. They weigh enough that you feel you have a quality piece of equipment but not so much you have to worry about your back.
Sometimes I regret selling mine which I can’t say for most amps I’ve owned.
