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

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.

I agree with glennewdick despite having recommended the M6si (which I have). 
While I do not disagree that desiring an onboard DAC may compromise my sq a little do not forget this is for a second system.
Appearances with no extra boxes and cables is also high on the radar for the WAF !
My main system in,my room I can do as I like, this application is high visibility so her who must be obeyed has given her thoughts on the matter.....
Possibly I could add a DAC and hide it as you say....food for thought.
Main listening will be from 2 sources, Tidal streaming and Amazon Prime streaming with possibly an analog source if I can wrangle it!
Hegel makes good integrateds. Also, according to the Stereophile measurements, Witt is not a very difficult load to drive as compared to other similar size Wilson's. You should try the previously recommended Pass INT-60 for an in-home trial and may be pleasantly surprised. No DAC.
By specifying 200W, you exclude a very strong recommendation, the Simaudio 600i.
@uberwaltz  

I can see why you would like a built-in DAC module and having one makes perfect sense.

AND ESPECIALLY since this is for a secondary system.

I would go ahead with the ML 585...it checks off on all of your needs. At some point, I think it is useful (and wise) to let go of the uber critical  pursuit of our choices and just enjoy what we have. 

Happy Holidays.
