Well, you want some 'warmth' and don't need a phonostage or a DAC. Maybe find a used NAD 326BEE. I've been a fan of NAD class A/B integrateds. Have owned the 326 and 356 BEEs in recent years.
I must say the Cambridge AXA35 seems a strong contender at that budget. I have not heard it however. The Schiit DAC is likely superior to the one in the Yamaha 301 which I've heard and have recommended at that budget. A great option for budget system serving both vinyl and digital. Again, you need amplification only, owning a disc player and DAC.
I am not familiar with the Onkyo.
