Integrated amp for Dynaudio Special 40s

Hello,  just getting started on the journey down the audio rabbit hole and building a simple setup to start.  Looking hard at the Dynaudio Special 40s (heard them with a Parasound NewClassic and Simaudio Moon 340i).  Trying to keep the amp in the $1500 range and very interested in the Rogue Sphinx V2.  Any insight into this potential conversation would be greatly appreciated by someone who is generally clueless. 

Many thanks, 
Peter
