Vitus RL-102 you should look at.
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
For a second system. I want to buy a SS all-in-one integrated. At least 200W in 8ohm.
When I say all-in-one means it has to have DAC built-in (preferable a very nice DAC commensurate to the price point of the system). I would highly prefer a streamer built-in as well.
Am super excited about the new Boulder 866. It seems to be the only one satisfying all the criterion.
Another option could be the Accuphase E-800 with DAC module (but no streaming).
DAG Progression but it crosses 18K without DAC.
Any other options?
I am not interested in anything Class-D. It has to be Class A/B amplifier.
Speakers are TBD as well.

@essrand I realize this is for a secondary system, however, at the price point you've stated, something has to give. And that something will be the DAC module (most likely). Adding a streamer only complicates this equation by adding another (compromised) variable. I'd personally approach this with the "all-in-one" component as the Source to Pre component. For example, the Lumin X1. In keeping with your pre+amp approach, Vinnie Rossi's L2i comes to mind, but it is above your budgeted amount. He offers a DAC module but that takes the overall cost north of 20K new. Throwing this into the mix, on the off chance it applies, since your speakers are TBD...and this is a secondary system... Significantly under budget, intriguing and a very different type of All-In-One is Buchardt Audio's new A700 or A500 with Hub. https://www.buchardtaudio.com/products |
Maybe you can look at the Krell 300i with dac module under $9,000? http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/krell-k-300i-integrated-amplifier/ |
