Integrated amp recommendations

I have YG Carmel 1 speakers. I am after either:
- an all in one integrated including DAC and streamer. I was thinking
- Bel Canto e1x .
- the Naim uniti Nova
- a Luxman combined with a streamer/dac/server all in one unit
- something else around a similar price point

I prefer quite a rich sound, with sweet highs

your thoughts appreciated.

Ayre not available where I live (or prohibitively expensive)...
question for you guys:
Is it better to have:
(1) poweramp only and a pre/dac/streamer all in one (eg Moon 390 or Boulder 812 to be released)
(2) pre/power together in one box, with a separate dac/streamer (eg Auralic Altair)
(3) all in one box...which means less cables and racks and clutter

Better, I would not care to say, however I would look into an integrated amplifier with a separate DAC/streamer (option 2). Many excellent integrated amplifiers out there.  Reduces rack space and removes need for 1 interconnect.

What about the Modwright 225i integrated?
