This amp is for a special purpose, to power my office system. It is important. though, as it is listened to while I research at night for 2.5-3 hours every day of the week. I don't need more than say, 50wpc. I don't need a built in DAC, or any streaming capability. Just a good integrated with a quality sound signature tending towards the warmer end of the spectrum. If I was spending a lot more, I would know the answers. In this price range, I simply don't know many good options. And expertise, opinions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
