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.

For 1k more, I strongly recommend the McIntosh MA252. A hybrid unit that won’t disappoint.

Hopefully, Hegel has upgraded the DACs in their integrated amps since I bought my H360.

@boxcarman - yes, Hegel significantly upgraded the DAC with the release of the H600, and the latest Hegel release H400 should have the upgrade DAC as well.  

@highend64 - if you decide to purchase Hegel and you want to someday upgrade your speakers, Hegel + Harbeth is a great synergistic match.  

Very much overloooked in North America

So many more great recommendations. I really appreciate it.  I think I might try Hegel but will still be deciding on which model. I really like the H190v and even the H390 but it is rated 1.5x more than what the Triangle is rated for. However, this is in a small room so volume would probably not be an issue. My priority is more sonic difference. Also I don't see myself moving to a bigger room or house soon.

@kennyc I have read on that combination and read good things. I dont kbow how the Harbeth would work in a small room. However,  my room is acoustic treated with some panels at that made a significant difference
