Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000.

I am currently looking to upgrade from a Rogue Pharaoh integrated. I have Ascendo C8 Rennasance speakers 88  DB. 6 ohm. PC to Wyred4sound DAC 2. Looking for some input on others experience. Considering Levinson 585 or Primaluna EVO 400. I need a line out for a sub. Prefer a balanced in but that is not a deal breaker. I welcome all recommendations.

I think you might be surprised by the sound the Parasound Halo integrated amp delivers for the money.  Bet if you did a blind test, you might take the Parasound.  Great frequency response curve.

Think Hegel. Even the older H300 are very good.

Buy a McIntosh integrated amp and you will be done.

Very Happy with Krell Vanguard Digital. You can pick it up at a good price
The New Krell K-300i sounds great it comes in between $7000 $ 8000.
Little over budget. I have several sets of speakers ELAC Uni-fi Ubi .
Dynaudio Contour 20, B&W 805 Nautilus. Focal 100BE, And Audio Engine  HDP-6. Wilson Watt Puppy series 7. One Balance in on the Krell. So I use a XLR switch box. The DAC is OK however I like using my Ps audio Direct stream JR.
Good luck
