YBA Integre Alpha ($750). Original, Not DT version. Stereophile Class “A” for DT version, if you speaker is not so demanding, Non-DT & DT version sounds the same.
Extract from review below:
“You won't feel cheap …
Best of all, you get a YBA. Not a — or a ——. You know what I mean. YBA doesn't look cheap, feel cheap, or sound cheap. And you don't feel cheap either, owning it. YBA gear is like a Mercedes automobile—even the less expensive models are built to a very high standard. Yes, you can buy someone else's separate preamp and power amp for the price of the YBA Integré. But you wouldn't own a YBA”

Acurus DIA-100 ($600). Stereophile Class “B”
Extract from review below:
“On a whim, I brought the DIA 100 in from the Real World system and hooked it up to the Thiels. Ta-Daaaa! NOW the Thiels came to life! For the week I spent with the Thiels until the Aragon 4004 Mk.II arrived, I left the DIA 100 hooked up to the CS3.6es, and it did a terrific job driving these difficult-load speakers to pretty ungodly levels while sounding firm, clean, and not ruffled in the slightest.”

McCormack DNA-1 ($850). Stereophile Class “B$$$”
Note: Unit was just re-biased according to Manufacturer’s Specification.
Extract from review below:
“In the End...I bought the DNA-1. I had no choice. It took me hostage, and told me what a fool I'd be if I sent it packing. I'll be listening to other amps along the way, but based on what I've heard over the years, the McCormack Power Drive DNA-1 will stand proudly against all comers in its price range. I'm thinking it'll hold its ground with a few more expensive amps as well. This is a true Workin' Person's product--emotionally involving, and an excellent value for your cash (or plastic). But don't trust my word. Take one home and give it a workout. If you end up short in the wallet afterwards, you'll know where I've been.”
