Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget

Lot of information missing. Is a remote needed? NO

How many inputs? Not sure.

Does it matter if the room gets warmer? You mean with tubes? Not sure what you mean.

Is a phono stage needed? Yes, I'd like to improve on the Denon.

Is a dac needed?…..Yes. Streaming as well.

TIA

Again, sorry for my ignorance.

Anyone know of any online sites such as Crutchfield where I can return the item if I"m not  happy with the sound quality?

I'm seriously thinking about this Parasound integrated, as this will allow me to buy a better table.

Also, as I mentioned I'm happy with my speakers and this is a one time upgrade.

@klimt  For a cheap but good phono amp, I'd look at the Schiit Mani and the iFi Zen.  I've owned both, and they were very enjoyable.
