Great Intergated amp with great built in DAC

@needlebrush What kind of sound do you like? Listening preferences and goals? Does this number include speaker cables, etc? Assuming you have ethernet or wifi? At $12k, depending on your goals, you should be able to put together a really nice setup.

What aspects of sound reproduction do you value most?

I value accuracy, coherence and soundstage and listen most everything. I have an Ethernet connection to my Bluesound Vault2 

There’s a Hegel H360 integrated on US Audio Mart for $3250 ($5700 retail) that delivers what you’re looking for sonically and includes a good DAC as well.  Pair that with some Joseph Audio Profiles ($7000/pr) or even LSA 20 Statements (discounted here to $4500/pr ($7k retail) and includes nice speaker cables) and you’d have an excellent-sounding system that soundstages like crazy for well under $12k.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.

A friend who also has a 866 emailed me a link to this review.
