Rumor has it Bob Carver is teaming up with another well know but younger audio electronic wizard to build a high powered tube or hybrid integrated amp with DAC.
While I was in San Diego, I went to Deja Vu audio and heard an Italian made 150 wpc Synthesis Audio tube integrated with built in DAC on a pair of Anniversary Harbeths that did me right but its $$$. For your price range the Chinese made Jungson 80 wpc class "A" J-88 (09)) (google for reviews) or better still the JA-120 integrateds are great and there is also a killer tube version that was also marketed by Grant Fidelity called the RITA but they don't have the built in DAC they will drive your Dynaudio's very well as I have the JA-88 (09) running Paragon Acoustic Regent's ( Dynaudio drivers in an MTM configuration in a 145 lb cabinet) Also Shenya, who makes Vincent.
