integrated amplifier with phono and usb

i am looking for an integrated with a phono and usb but also with enough power to drive my magnepan 12's. i came across the musical fidelity A1008 but i think the blinking digital inputs on the front panel would be too distracting. so if someone has any other ideas or can tell me otherwise on the a1008 it would be appreciated

thanks, never heard of it, but with a 30 day return policy it is worth finding out. i hope it has enough inputs for me.

thanks again.

Regarding the USB: are you are looking for an integrated DAC, or just a USB port? You can easily add an external USB port adapter to an unused pair of inputs.

My two cents worth: since DAC technology changes faster than integrated amps do, I would use a small outboard DAC. Buy the amp that sounds best to you and mates to your speakers and upgrade the DAC when needed or wanted.

Hard to recommend anything without knowing your budget and the speakers you will be driving.
