Recommend good int. amp with HT pass thru?

Hi - I'm looking to improve my music listening performance and am thinking of getting a used but good integrated amp with home theater pass thru and just getting a decent receiver for HT duties.

Anyone have any good suggestions? Looking to stay under $1000 or so (but can stretch budget a touch). Currently using Sunfire Ultimate Receiver with Arcam CD72T cd player and EAD DSP-7000 DAC II with Totem Sttaf speakers.

Thanks.
