What Integrated Amp do You use

I'm using Rega Saturn - R for the last 3 years. I've had many other integrated amps and separates and I prefer the Rega to all of the others I've used. It is very musical, non-fatiguing with great bottom end. Does everything I need, in a relatively small, but heavy, package. I do leave it powered-on 24X7 because it sounds better after hours of warm up. It has a totally adequate MM phono stage, so it took the place of 3 components when I purchased it (pre-amp, power amp, phono stage).

Currently a Luxman L505uxII. I just love it, looks great, sounds great.

Sorry for the mistake in my previous post. I should have said "Rega - Elicit-R". The Elicit-R is the Integrated amp I own. I also own the matching CD Player/DAC/Transport, which is the Rega Saturn-R.

McIntosh MA9000. It's a beast! I don't care for its DAC, so I use an iFi iDSD Pro.

Hi tomic601
Re the AESTHETIX MIMAS ... I am seriously considering that integrated (my speakers are the newest Vandy 2CE Sig III).

I’m considering getting their DAC in it, but I also am intrigued by the Holo Spring 3 and the Denafrips Pontus 2, or maybe the Schitt Yggdrasil. I am especially interested in R2R laddered resistor DACs.

How do you like the Aesthetix DAC? How would you rank it compared to DACs in the $2000-3000 range? How would you describe the character of it?

THANKS!
