I'm a new poster but have been reading ASReview for a few years, about time I joined. I am looking to upgrade from Powernode that I'm using to integrated with dsp and more power. What I am looking for is recommendation for a good:
* one box solution
* streaming integrated amp
* with dsp
* 100w/channel
* good quality hypex or purifi type amp
* damping factor of 150+
* input for turntable ( good MC phono preamp would be a plus )
* for less than $3000.
The NAD M33 seems to tick all these boxes, but at double the price I'd like to (and even seems reasonable) to need to spend. I notice things like the Yamaha 803 reviewed here, but seems using dsp heavily degrades sound quality. Yamaha WXA 50 doesn't do all I want and too underpowered.
Maybe my feature list is too much to ask at my price point? Or maybe the market is still developing this alternative? I don't feel the need to have the absolute best testing/measuring option. Going for good enough where I won't hear the difference through my somewhat easy to drive Harbeth C7 XD's. I've looked at:
* Arcam SA30
* Lyngdorf 1120
* NAD M10 or maybe new c399
But none tick all the boxes. My list of features seems like the sort of offering that would be quite popular, maybe you all can direct me towards a needle in the haystack I've missed so far? Thx.
