All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only

For a second system. I want to buy a SS all-in-one integrated. At least 200W in 8ohm.

When I say all-in-one means it has to have DAC built-in (preferable a very nice DAC commensurate to the price point of the system). I would highly prefer a streamer built-in as well.

Am super excited about the new Boulder 866. It seems to be the only one satisfying all the criterion.

Another option could be the Accuphase E-800 with DAC module (but no streaming).
DAG Progression but it crosses 18K without DAC.

Any other options?
I am not interested in anything Class-D. It has to be Class A/B amplifier.

Speakers are TBD as well.

Another vote for Luxman L-509X. Pair it with Lumin T2 or Aurender A10.

What do you guys think about pairing a Boulder 866 with a Magnepan? Like maybe a 20.7

I am using my 866 driving Magnepan 1.7i's with a pair of REL Carbon Limited subs. They blend together seamlessly.  I have had several audiophiles over to listen extensively.  Non of them could hear any discontinuity between the Maggies and the REL's.  Being fed by a Rockna Wavedream Signature Balanced dac connected via I2S HDMI to the Rockna Wavedream NET, the sound is magnificent!  It is by far the best that I have had in about 50 years as an audiophile.  These comments have been echoed by the numerous listeners to my system with most shaking their head in disbelief of the beauty of the sound.

If I were you I'd go Luxman 509x. Right at the bottom of your range.
