Integrated for Magico A1

Looking for an integrated for my new acquired Magico A1 and Cardas Persec speakers cables.

Been offered these ones:

Mark Levinson 5805

Krell K-300i

Copland CSA-150

McIntosh MSA 5500

Ideally one of those with DAC and Phono Stage due to save boxes, cabling and wife approval!

Thanks in advance.

For solid state Gryphon and Vitus Class A. At this level I’d get a separate DAC and phono stage as both are critical and well worth a couple extra boxes IMHO. Best of luck.
