Reasonably active tube forum over on audiocircle site, might find some insight over there.

Tube integrated and DAC for office system
Looking for a reasonably priced integrated (preferably tube) and a DAC for an office system, total price around 1500 USD, 2000 hard limit.
Can be either 1 or 2 box implementation.
Speakers are pretty efficient Brines fostex-based transmission lines, rated to need 30 watts.
Listening is near field, low volume.
Current amp is a little Napa Acoustics, which I enjoyed, but it has now failed. DAC is an early HRT music streamer, which I expect can be readily bested.
For context, I prefer a warmer, more relaxed presentation; main system Daedalus Ulysses + Pass INT 60.
Open to kit-amps.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
John
