Integrated amp + dac for Focal


Hello!

Looking for recommendations for an integrated amp with built-in DAC. Main inputs will be mac mini usb + optical for mostly 2ch music and some HT use. Will be used with Focal Aria 948 in 8 X 15 x 38 ft room. The NAD C372 with a Cambridge DacMagic 100 is what I'm looking to replace with the new unit.

I'd prefer to buy used and like:
Pass X250 (keeping the dacmagic dac)
Parasound Halo Integrated "HINT 6" 160 W
Cary si-300.2d


What do you think?

Thank you!

I heard a pair of focal sopra’s with a Naim uniti star and thought it was too much detail.  Bright is another way to say it.  I can understand why some like their music that way.  So much detail.   , But, maybe use caution there.  I haven’t seen any recommendation for Peachtree.  Used to be made in Canada then went to China now made again in Canada.  Some, but not all models have a tube pre-amp stage to add some sweetness to the mix.  I would think that could be a good combo of some of the great suggestions above.  All come with DACs so at least I’m ticking the boxes to meet your criteria.  
I have 1007be, tried few amps:
Rega elexr - no, too harsh
Naim - no, sounds like b&w, I hate this combination (often presented at hifi shows since its the same mother-company)
Pass (few models with few different tube preamps) - really good
Hegel h160 - ok match for jazz, not for rock/electronic, too laid back for my taste
Accuphase (owned E213) - good match 
Audio Analogue Puccini Anniversery (my current amp) - accuphase-like sound, smooth, musical, but with little bit more control (accuphase is 80/120 on 8/4 ohm, where AA Puccini is 80/160 at 8/4ohm, so that maybe explains better control)



I'd certainly want to try a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with the 948s.  At AXPONA, one of the display rooms paired a ML 585 with the new Revel F228be tower speakers.  That was some gorgeous sound!
Lot's of good suggestions. I have vintage Whatmough 202 Leadline monitors which use (modded) Focal drivers. After trying a lot of amps, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they paired with bel canto dac3.7 and amps. That smooth their bright nature thing and gives them more dynamics and solidity of the images. Best of luck. 
Great suggestions!

Mark Levinson 585 looks very good. McIntosh 7200 looks like a great fit as well. How will the ML sound compared to McIntosh ?

Although Pass sounds great, does not have DAC, so will have to eliminate.
