Any integrated amps with dac and 2 spkr outputs?

Any integrated amps with all this built in? Peachtree has dac, but only single spkr output. NAD often has two spkr outputs but no dac. Bryston B100 has dac, but only one spkr out. The only one I know of off top of my head is the Music Hall Maven. Any others?

(Price and power not important, as there are two different systems it can go into, one small, one large, so looking at options for both. Also, I'm not interested in spkr switchers or outboard dacs. I want a do-it-all option if I can find one)

I have been using the Music Hall Maven for the past month, and I think that has everything that you are asking in a one box offering. It has two speaker outputs, an onboard Burr Brown 1738 DAC with a two digital inputs, a tuner, and 100W/2ch. The Maven harnesses most of the same circuitry as the acclaimed Music Hall Mambo, but provides 50 extra watts and an excellent tuner for a one box wonder. The thought of an "audiophile" tuner for listening to NPR on Saturday mornings seems like an overkill.

A shopped around for a long time and as fruit of my research I found that HT Electronics offers the Maven for around $700 delivered. (Full disclosure: no relation to the company, just an unbelievable price) The build quality is simply amazing- the all aluminum chasis and remote. There is a lot of pooh-poohing Chinese manufactured goods among "audiophiles", but this is a no Wallmart special for a realistic "audiophile" on a budget.

I apologize for not responding sooner. It was in Reno, NV. They sometimes advertise on Audiogon, but bargains can be had buy talking on the phone.
