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.

I’d look at a Unison Unico 150 for a hybrid integrated with tube preamp and solid state MOSFET amp.  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. 

@superelmar the MA252 is remarkable and should work excellently with the speakers. Holds its value tremedously too

Agree with @dokosan . Another vote for simaudio. The new Moon 371 in the Compass collection is an all in one that is worth a shot. Had the 390 preamp with DAC and phono. It was the best in its price point. + you now get the downfall from the North technology. Good luck and keep us posted.

Pass on the McIntosh MA 252. The MA 12000 would make a much better starting point.
