$1,000 $900 (plus s&h, PP, etc.)
This unit should need little introduction; but here's the marketing stuff..
With a built-in DAC, powerful headphone amp, small footprint, and rave reviews from almost every publication in the industry, what’s not to like about our mini-Integrated Amp? Sporting a top-tier ESS DAC, the mINT supports 24 bit 192kHz streaming through S/PDIF inputs and 24 bit 96kHz via USB. Configurable analog inputs and outputs round out this unit as a one-size-fits-all solution. On the amplification side, the mINT uses compact and efficient amp technology to deliver 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms, controlling large speakers with ease. A sweet little unit that’s won awards from Tone Audio magazine, 6 Moons and Home Theater Review among others.Am I suggesting, you take this...and throw-out 5-figures worth of seps? No. But it's PERFECT, for a 2nd/Office system.
