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.

Once you have demo on the Primaluna EVO integrated, I think you won't look back. High quality, tube protection, and great sound. Compare it head on with Hegal. I chose Primaluna which sounded more real than the Hegal H390.

I encourage you to consider an ARC GSi75

It's a fabulous integrated with a quite impressive DAC and phono.

So many great recommendations so far. I have not made a decision as of now but it would quite difficult to audition any of them. Being in a rural area here in central valley, finding the nearest audio shops would be quite a drive for me.

I was trying to keep it all analog. At first I tried marantz model 30. It sounded amazing. And then I found a killer deal on a Luxman 509x. Highly recommend both.
