Newbie looking for amplifier advice


Hello

After much painful research, I decided to purchase a Ryan R610. I heard Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, Magnepan etc but decided that a bookshelf is the best fit for my apartment living room.  

Room is 19x12x8 with carpeted floor and huge glass window. I have been advised Belles Aria but wondering if there is a DAC integrated around $2500 which can match this amp.

Specifically, the Parasound Halo catches my attention but am concerned about DAC longevity and have been hinted that Parasound isn't such a value for money as, say, Emotiva. 

Anyone run a Ryan/Belles combination?

One of JohnnyR's best attributes is that he knows so much about audio and knows what works well together.  I have heard him assemble systems for every pocketbook and I scratch my head every time as to how he can do this consistently.  I read the posts and  while some might feel that his posts had an attacking tone, I did not see it that way.  I looked at it as though unless you have heard the combinations, opinions are then just opinions without any backing.  Funny, I tell my wife that all the time.  Not to sound attacking in anyway, JR just knows the products and was providing what I would want, someone who knows the equipment and how they interact together to get the best sound.

Happy Listening.
