Which integrated amp do you suggest?


Hi Everyone,
Looking to purchase an integrated amp to match my setup.
My sources include vinyl, CD's and Tidal Hi-Fi (not worried about master quality).
I have a set of Elac Debut 2.0 B6 speakers.

Looking for an amp which has a built-in DAC and the ability to network, or at least connect via laptop (for tidal streaming).

My budget is around 500-600 USD

Looking for an integrated amp which would pair nicely with the Elac's.

You won’t find a better integrated for $600 than a used Yamaha A-S801 or a new A-S501. They have a dead-quiet noise floor and their power exceeds published spec at well under 1% distortion for full bandwidth. They’re reliable and even 2 ohm stable. Bass extension and definition exceeds that of some ~$3K integrateds. Some competitors should be embarrassed really.
