Beginner choosing amp help

Here is my advice (for what it's worth...)
Don't jump into a Rolls to commute to work when all you've ever driven is a Malibu. Go through the Buick/Cadillac/BMW lanes first. You'll understand and appreciate the Rolls much more then. 

If your main library is Tidal (I love Tidal....) then go the separate routes. Get a DAC with MQA unfolding/rendering and at least some DSD over PCM ability. I just auditioned the NAD C658 and loved its streaming, integration and sound (mostly, but it only goes to 192).

It has inputs for digital and analog (Phono!!) and also some tone plus two sub outs. I would pass this off to whatever amp is recommended for your speakers (I am using a rebuilt Pioneer SA-9100 to KEF LS50. My SVS Ultra Towers were too big for our new listening room)

Project also makes the incredible(y) inexpensive Pre Box S2 Digital (another favorite of mine) for about 1/3 the price of the NAD but also way less flexibility.

Anyhow, either of these or maybe a MyTek Brooklyn out to a nice 50-100 watt type A or A/B amp (I don't think tubes or type D would be great at this price. Maybe a used Peachtree Nova or even back to a classic Pioneer/Marantz/Sansui receiver). If new might consider a Schitt or Emotiva separate (one amp per speaker). You could actually get the NAD preamp and two Schitt Vidars for about 3K. Not bad!! You could even start with one Vidar ($700) run in stereo and add another later to go mono block!!

Wow...so may choices these days!!

Spread your money out. Look at Bryston amps 3b or 4b. $600 to $1000 they are Awsome. Their pre amps and dacs are very good to. You only need one good amp. Spend as much as you can on a good dac. It will be worth it. 

What about your Turntable and Cartrige?  Spend some of that 3k there to. 

I’m the same path on upgrading and I have compare a few of few of them , I have try Marantz pm11 , parasound halo hint and finally the Yamaha as2100 , for less than 2300 you can get as2100  and for the moneys you can’t go wrong with it ! Hope this help 

Thanks for all of the advice so far! That Luxman does look nice especially at that deal and purchasing a separate dac isn’t a deal breaker for me. Might be a good thing given the fact that to me that would be probably be the one component that might be outdated in 5-7 years. My only concern with it as sameeyers1 suggested is the power on it and how about hooking up a sub? I spoke with the dealer and he mentioned they also sell Parasoundhint6 but that the Luxman in his opionion is better quality and delivers better performance due to the capacitator being bigger then on the hint6. The Hegel does look like a beast to say the least also. How about the Belles Soloist? No one seemed to mention anything about that. 

Check out the moon ace. 50 watt amp, good phonostage and built in dac and streaming capability for tidal etc. Best wishes.
