looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp

I am new here, and this is my first post.  I am looking for either a pre/amp or integrated amp, specifically for listening to music.  Here is what I'd like the solution to have:
  • Ethernet jack (for connecting to my home computer to play music files of CD's I've ripped)
  • 2 channel (this is not going to be a surround sound setup)
  • Wifi (I'd like to play Spotify)
  • XLR inputs (for the CD/DVD/Blu ray player) - I'm not sure this is critical, as I think optical digital might be just as good.
  • 90-140Watts 
  • Phono input
  • Price range: $1000-2000
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I've looked at Yamaha, Anthem, Marantz, and Parasound, but I haven't found anything that checks all these boxes.  Thank you!  Doug

Add the Creek Evolution 100 A to your list.  It will check all of your marks (I think), nice sleek looks, oh, and it sounds darn good too.

Why do you need Ethernet when you have WiFi?

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Acram solo does not appear to have a phono input or XLR inputs.
Creek Evolution 100A does not have ethernet connection.
Naim Uniti Nova is way outside my price range I listed in the original post.
Cyrus Lyric has no XLR or phono.  Plus I'm not really looking for an all in one.
