Best used integrated under $5k
To add to what @jjss49 was trying to get at, I believe, is the quality of the DAC.  The 360 has a dac/streamer, yes.  However, the newer 390 has a much better dac/streamer.  Also a better preamp/amp section.I've owned 4 different Hegels, and the n...

How about a PS Audio Sprout100 ($599) and a Bluesound Node 2i ($549)?I don’t know of any integrateds with WiFi/DAC built in + phono preamp, that are in a similar price range as the Brio. 
Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell.
I've been wanted to try the HS-4, and I'm glad I found this thread.  I'm currently using a Yamamota  HS-2HS-2 (Asada Cherry Wood) on my Technics 1200GR - Dynavector DV20xL.I like the HS-2HS very much, and the other headshell that's in my rotation...
