The Hegel H160 is very good. At a similar price, the new Audia Flight Three S is worth an audition. If you bump up your budget to H360 level, the Naim Supernait 2 is another good option.

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!
