I think your making a big mistake only considering amps with a built in DAC. as digital is currently the most volatile music source, as in changing the quickest. and there are some very good DAC's out there for not much money that will inevitably be way better then what most manufactures add in at your price level. I highly recommend you reconsider amp with out an internal DAC as DAC's are relatively small and could be concealed if necessary if that is a concern. Hell for a grand you can get one hell of a great DAC that will make most DAC's inside a 10k amp sound inferior.
Opinions on best integrated under 10k?
Father Christmas has been early and left me a very sizable bonus check!
So time to spend it before the other half can....
Looking at building another system but thinking of just a very high power integrated amp.
Wish list...
200w or more.
Balanced inputs
Digital inputs
Phono inputs
A quick look shows items like McIntosh ma7900 and Mark levinson ml585 which both seem to fulfill all or the majority of my wants.
Sure there are others.
So thoughts and any current or previous owners of suitable candidates please chime in
Thank you in advance
