One box do it all

+1 on Parasound NewClassic 200 integrated. 
I sold my separates and got this last Spring and don't miss them one bit.
Great SQ... clean, musical and nicely resolved output with power for most speakers out there.
The phono stage holds it's own against my previous, Project Tube Box S2.
Only thing missing is a streamer...I'm using a Node 2i connected to the DAC in the Parasound via coaxial cable.

Parasound NewClassic 200 integrated $1195
Bluesound Node $545

The Hint 6 comes in closer to $3000, offering balanced inputs, A/AB amplification courtesy of John Curl, slightly improved DAC, 160 wpc @ 8 ohms and 240 wpc @ 4 ohms. Still needs a streamer. 

See about a used Lyngdorf TDAI3400. Does it all and then some more with Room Correction software too. Sounds superb. Has a phono input option, or go cheaper with a new TDAI 1120

Preowned Parasound Hint 6 gets you all the goods, less streamer. Add a Node and you should be able to hit really close to 2500.00. If you look for the earlier Halo version, you could definitely get where you want to be budget wise.

All,
Why so many inputs ! Thanks a lot really ! Lots of homework for me.
Seems like within my budget I’ll end up with 2 boxes, OK, better than 4 or 5.

Nad 658 + power amp looks like a nice option, also M10.

Parasound Integrated 200 looks absolutely great but is not distributed here where I am (Italy)

I am intrigued by the NuPrime and I see they have also an Omnia A300 that seem more suited to my needs. Just one line input and no Phono though...

Lyngdorf would have been my first choice but list price here is around 6KEuro for the  TDAI3400, like 7K$. Didn't see any used but if they come up they will go for around 5, way beyond my budget.  TDAI 1120 is well within my budget but I am worried it will be under powered for my Special 40.

No thoughts on the CA EVO anyone ?

Thanks again,

Mark

I'd look for a used Parasound Halo Int, everything but the streaming and great sound quality to boot. Nice built in dac, solid phono section, plenty of current. Truly a jack of all trades. Add a Bluesound Node2i and you are off and running, er listening....
