I simplified to a compact 21-inch tall Salamander rack and didn't have to go integrated, although I've been there too.
KAB SL-1200 TT, Linestage, 2012 MacMini, RME DAC, PS Audio DAC, PS Audio Phono, PS Audio M700 monos.
microRendu Streamer hidden behind rack. The square donut sub is not part of the audio system. It works
strictly in conjuction with the Sonos ARC soundbar for the TV.
If I were looking for an integrated I would not want the network streamer and DAC built-in. I wouldn't count on being able to upgrade in the future regardless of what the manufacture tells you. NAD is the perfect example. There's an older model that promised it was "future proof" with upgrades coming. That never happened. Those NAD owners had to buy an entirely new "all in one" integrated for $5000". Just my 2-cents worth but the Pass Labs integrated amps look appealing to me.
