Hegel H160 competitors


I did a home audition of the Hegel H160 driving my Proac D15 speakers and really loved it. It had an open, transparent sound that illuminated tons of inner detail in very natural way. Overall it just seemed neutral and mated well with my Proacs. I could happily stop searching, but I feel like I should do a bit more comparison shopping just to be sure.

Any suggestions on other integrated/DAC, or preamp/DAC + amp, that I should audition in the under $5000 range? I'd prefer a numeric volume display, but it's not a must-have.

Thanks!

Parasound halo is about 1000 less. The vinnie rossi lio is worth a close look. Also the yamaha as2000. i have a hegel h200 and think its fantastic.
