Accuphase fans. Newer & Lower vs Older & Higher model?
@russ69  Which new integrated amps comparable to used Accuphase or Luxman in your mind?  
Accuphase fans. Newer & Lower vs Older & Higher model?
@lak  Of course I'm open to used in USA market. But my max budget is 10K total, and for the amplifier is upto $5,000 (maybe I can stretch little more, depends upon speaker & DAC purchase). I suspect USA version is almost double the price of ... 
Accuphase fans. Newer & Lower vs Older & Higher model?
@inna Yes they won’t repair domestic products and that’s why I ask how old is too old. Fortunately, I have an engineer friend who can fix as long as he could find a schematic, just in case. I prefer class AB to A just because of the heat, And I... 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
meschThat was my initial plan, DAC + Schiit SYS + Power amplifier within my budget. but the cheap volume controller seems like not a good option. I'd get Integrated & simple DAC combo 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
PennpencilThanks that is absolutely helpful. jissUnderstand now. I am going to research Hegel vs Devialet.  
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
Thank you guys for inputs. I decide to buy Integrated. All in one system such as Hegel, Devialet would fit my needs. Jiss49. Do you think tube integrateds don’t have enough juice for M3 Sapphire? Clayton at Spatial claims that low powered tube wor... 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
Speakers will be Spatial audio Sapphire M3 open baffle. Remote volume is a plus but not a must. If I can not afford LTA Ultralinear int then I’m open to any amplifiers out there. Raven nighthawk, Devialet 200, Dynaco ST70, Luxman 550s come to mind. 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
Looks like an Integrated amp is the answer.I will need more money, Or get the less expensive amp.   
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
GeorgeI almost always listen low to moderate volume. I guess inserting the SYS between QUTEST and UL Poweramp is the best, since there is no audible compromise? 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
Thanks guys@ verdantaudio. That combo is exactly what I am considering, Chord Qutest (or Tubadur) & UL Power amp. I think this the most money saving way. But the lack of volume control forces me to spend more on either a volume controller(chea... 
DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated?
@Jiss Sorry to bother you. Ye I did read a lot of discussions but my question was more related to cost savings. I was looking for significant savings over going Integrated.

NAD C325 or 326Bee efficient enough for PSB towers
Hielue5/Thanks for your info and I 120% agree that I would love The Dynaudio and/or Totems. But....way over my budget.And one more thing to mention.Audioadvisor.com sells PSBs at pretty much lower than others. Image T65 for $385 and Imgae T6 for $...
