Respectable Integrateds

[mordante]

I'm in doubt at the moment. Sometime in the (far) future I might want to upgrade my integrated amp (Symphonic Line La Musica). I'm contemplating a pre-power setup.

 

But I don't want to add more boxes to my set-up. My ideal would be a pre amp with a schiit mutibit dac and like a Auralic Aries steamer build in. With a outboard power supply. But I don't think something like that exists.

 

The other option would be a pre amp with a good phono amp. These do exist. But not sure how flexible these phono amps are. A pre amp like maybe the Octave HP 300SE. Then add a nice power Symphonic Line RG7 and I'm done.

Now only if I were a millionaire.

 

There are integrated amps like the Aavik U300 and Devialet. but I'm not a huge fan of either. Both are good gear but not my sound.
