I personally use a Peachtree Nova 300-Bluesound Node 2i - I use the Nova's DAC-; Pro ject CD transport and Harbeth 30.1 monitors in a very small square room. Night mare(!) but after much stress it sounds pretty good for such a modest system. They are giving these Peachtrees away but they are a good value. Lots of power for the money (class D but think of the environment). I play this thing all day. If I was to change and spend more money I would just change out another integrated with DAC. MacIntosh or Luxman or Hi Fi Rose (no DAC tho). Good luck, perhaps spend more now on Integrated unit.
