Check out the Unision Research Due. It is a hybrid design tube/solid state with internal dac and phono stage. I think it's 100 wpc. Fidelis in New Hampshire is a dealer. I think it retails for $3500.00 but, you might be able to find one used or a demo. Good luck

How about a Rogue Sphinx http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_sphinx.htm Ticks all of your boxes minus the DAC, plus it gets great reviews and has a good phono stage. Plenty of money left over within your budget for a DAC. Heck the Schiit Modi 3 is excellent at $100. https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj6ec0tGh6AIVTtbACh02DglTEAAYASAAEgJNxvD_BwE |
