Need help ! Looking for a low cost integrated tube amp for my office

Looking to upgrade my office system
Music playing through my computer to an Audio engine D1 DAC
At present an old NAD receiver playing to four Vienna acoustics Haydn Grand book shelf speakers and a velodyne sub
Thought I would try my first experience with a tube integrated amp 
Any suggestions ?

Sounds like from your post you are looking for something affordable to pair with those speakers. I can say Jolida and Cayin both have some great sounding integrated amps for good prices especially used.
