I own a Vincent SV500. It is my main amp in a vacation home. I run it through modified Klipsch Quartets. These are highly efficient but can be edgy. Between the mods and the Vincent the edginess disappears. I don’t recall the DAC specs but running a vintage Sony ES CD player through the integrated sounds amazing. I also stream aN RPI using Tidal. For the money you have mentioned, I would suggest the Vincent would be quite pleasing. I realize Audiogon members have a wide range of disposable income so one mans amazing is another mans Goodwill donation. For reference, most of my equipment is a decade or two old, TOL Thiel, Vandersteen, and LSA, Klipsch, Enlightened Audio, and some really Vintage TOL Mitsubishi gear. I also have two NAD Receivers T765 and possibly T743. To reiterate, I would buy my Vincent again with zero reservations. When at this home, it plays for 14 plus hours a day and does not fatigue or disappoint.
