any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?

My friend directly compared the Technics SU-R1000 to the Boulder 866. He sold the Boulder 866. 

I've listened to the Rotel Michi Integrated amplifier and their mono-amps. In my opinion they're both mediocre.

Gryphon sounds very good, but after a really good friend's recent experience with repair of his Diablo 300 integrated amplifier, I would never purchase Gryphon.

Did your friend keep the Technics SU R1000 because it has tone controls and more ways to color the sound to his liking? 

ronboco,

He kept the Technics because he preferred the sound. I’ve listened to Boulder several times and I prefer a different sound. It doesn’t matter what my friend or I prefer. He made his choice based on listening to both in his system. I’m happy you love your Boulder 866. I’m curious if you directly compared the 866 to the SU-R1000?

Aesthetix Mimas with optional DAC card. 

Agree that a separate DAC is sonically better for the money.

swede58, I know, I know. I was just surprised that no one mentioned it.

Boulder or Gryphon is a matter of preference, I am not talking about their dacs.
