You should be able to get one of these used within your budget:


Pleased note, that i am biased since i own one myself. No objective data, just a subjective recommendation, sorry...

The RA3 seems to have the same issue with potted NFCA modules that killed so many PA5 units before:

(scroll down for pictures of the bulging module and videos of the faulty output)

I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it at the moment.

Mind you that even if you find your desired dimensions you always have to give it some room to dissipate it's heat,both on sides and top.
That goes for every amp.

Can you tolerate rear fans (and their potential noise)? Do you have clearance in rear?

Hi! Yes I know the heat. If the noise is very low ok. I have space in rear about 30-40 cm ok. Somebody can recommend me only amp without DAC around 600$? Thanks

Lab Gruppen IPX 1200 may be worth considering.
The downside is that it's over budget. The advantage is DSP and monitoring and configuration via Ethernet.
The previous generation IPD series was well received.
