Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k?


I am putting together a 2nd system that will be used in my living room.  Music source will primarily be Tidal.  Haven't finalized my speaker selection - but I may end up going with something from Dynaudio - perhaps the Excite X18 or the Special 40.  Streaming will be handled by one of the following: Bluesound Node 2, outboard DAC/streamer or DAC/streamer onboard the amp.

Need to figure out what integrated amp would work best.  A major constraint is that the enclosure that will house the amp has a maximum depth of 15 inches - so the amp itself will need to have a depth that is a couple of inches short of 15 (to leave room for rear cables/connections).  

I have tried the Naim Uniti Atom and it is certainly a potential solution (sounds great too), but I am hesitant to go with an all-in-one solution (a separate streamer allows me to upgrade that part of the system as technology progresses).   

The Peachtree Nova 150 is another option - but I have not yet had an opportunity to audition it.  

My budget for the amp is $2k, but I am willing to stretch the $$$ for an outstanding component :)  I am also open to picking up a pre-owned amp, though I would prefer to buy new. 

Suggestions will be *greatly* appreciated!

The Hegel H90's DAC is very good as long as you use the spdif rca input. Usb input is the culprit. I own the amp and it certainly belongs to the top3.
I've tried a few British integrateds, and I loved the Exposure 2010S2D the best by far. Someone else here also recommended the 3010S2.. I haven't compared but I'm sure its great as well
I’ve had the Peachtree Nova 150 for a bit over a year now and its a really terrific flexible Integrated. Also nice that I can use a lightning cable and go straight to the unit. I listened to a few Integrated amps prior to purchasing and for my ears, budget and space this seemed the best. 
 Also Peachtree is supposed to be coming out with a WIFI module that the unit is pre-wired for. With the tape loop feature I hooked up a Yaqin tube buffer that is fun to play with. Again terrific flexibility. 
I’ve powered my dyn focus 160s with everything, including the new ps audio stellar amps. The system is in a small room about 12’ x 15’.

I just bought a used naim nait 5i2 and hooked it up...never looking back. Hands down the best sound I’ve ever heard in any of my systems, even though now I’m already shopping for a naim with a little more power.

Naim + Dynaudio is where it’s at!
