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 - if you are looking for the opposite of your current system, I feel there is an answer that is both hard to beat sonically, but also a phenomenal value and beautiful to look at. The integrated has been mentioned before, but I just can’t think of anything better. 
Luxman 509x + Streaming Dac (Lumin x1 would be a great choice) + Harbeth 40.2 (or 30.2 if the room is small)

I had the 509x/30.2 combo for several years in NYC until upgraditis hit when I got a bigger apartment. I moved to Focal Sopra 3 (would not disappear and harsh) then Harbeth 40.2 (the best speaker I have ever had), I also moved to the Luxman M900, and you know what? I like the 509x better. I got rid of the 900s and bought some huge Rogue Audio tube separates, which are great sounding, but the 509x is such a phenomenal sounding integrated, and looks so much better (it is built like a Swiss watch) that I honestly feel it might be a better solution than seperates. The lux/Harbeth combo has an uncommon synergy and a really cool look - this is equipment that looks like 70s stereo equipment in the best way possible, but the build quality is shockingly good. It is incredibly luxurious while also totally under the radar - your friends who don’t know will think it is some old crap LOL and you will know it is $35k worth of integrated and speakers. And it sounds like $70k!
+1 for the Aesthetix Mimas. By far the most musical integrated amplifier I have heard. Good Luck on your search.
@sidekick_i 

Thanks for your message. Appreciate your input, the Ypsilon sounds like an interesting addition but is outside my price point it seems. Unless I find one used.

@jamesdowningelliott Thanks for your message. Yes, I think I would love the 509X, heard so much good things about it, and do love the build quality. If my all-in-one plan doesn't pan out, it will be the first I would look at.
@joey54  Yes, will be auditioning the Mimas for sure.
@ghasley Consider me a "burbler" of its aesthetics. I know Boulder always attempts to make their designs standout from the rest, looks wise. But their 866 appears to me as an "accordion ". 
Didn't think it was that necessary to do so and strikes me as outlandish.

They have always spent lots of money on their caseworks. Design wise, the shell of the 866 strikes me as an unnecessary stroke and for me, that is not BS. 
I know its me but as good as it may sound to me for that matter, I couldn't own it because I couldn't stand looking at it.
