Best integrated/power amplifier under $6000

Looking for either a power amp or integrated amplifier with at least 150 watts in 8 ohms for under $6000- new or slightly used. What would you recommend? I would be using my own DAC with volume control - so just need either a power amp or intergrated without a DAC. Please share your recommendations for the best amp you have heard which meets the above requirements. 

Thank you

Levinson 585  is an excellent integrated. Loved it demoing Magico A3's.

Generally amps that would pair well with the Raidho amps should be good - as the Rhaidos have raal tweeters and the RAAL SR1A headphones are also ribbon headphones.

Okay lets get some input data. 

We know you have headphones, what is the source you are using?

You mentioned just a power amp so what would the rest of the components be?

If you like Ribbons you lean towards cleaner clearer sound correct?

Which dac with volume are use using and what speakers would you also be interested in?
