Recommendations for a integrated amp

Lately I have been thinking going integrated from separates. I been interested in an integrated amp so I can keep it simpler with less signal chain. Also am looking for one that has a USB input so I can eliminate my interface as a dac. I am mainly looking SS but is not limited to. My budget is around 4k but I  am flexible. This will be powering a pair of Triangle  BR03 speakers. 

BTW,  I currently have a Rotel RC-995 preamp and a Acurus A150 amp with a Focusrite interface as a dac using Tidal on my laptop as a source.

Thanks for the recommendations. I really like the convenience of Hegel H190v. How would you describe it sound? I like a more analytical and neutral sounding with a slight edge on the warm side.

Coda CSiB will satisfy your sonic requirements and be within your budget usedt. Doesn’t have a dac or phono amp built in. But has 2 speaker terminals for each channel and a sub out.

If you go the tube route i highly recommend the PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated.

The flexibility of being able to tune the sound to your system and liking by just tube rolling the preamp tubes is something you can’t do with SS
