Integrated Amp upgrade?

Hello all,

Looking to upgrade my Cambridge Azur 851a.

I will be pairing with Spendor A6Rs (no sub). Two sources include Gold Note PH-10 & Mytek Brooklyn DAC+

My budget is $2K (new or used) and my top three choices right now are:
-Electrocompaniet PI-2
-Ayre AX-7e
-LFD LE IV

My room is on the small side, and I usually listen with the volume on the high side of medium. All genres of music.

Thanks,
Rob

I am leaning towards getting the Lyngorf just for the preamp and DAC only. The amplification did not sound good to me with the speakers I demoed, however, an external amp connected via the analog pre-out was beautiful. Speakers were Paradigm Persona 5F and we used digital files.

I am going to have a shootout with the DSP features of the Linn SELEKT DSM | Lyngdorf | Anthem STR. If the DSP on the Lyngdorf is the best one then I will buy that even if the amp in it is not going to be used.
