If were me I would purchase the Bryston B-60R on Audiogon. Had one for many years and a terrific piece. I'm thinking about putting it "on the shelf" as a back-up piece.

It’s a great amp. Now in v2 status, though I have yet to do a comparison with my v1. Specs suggest no real difference, but sound wise may be better!

Associated Equipment:

Speakers:
Usher BE10
Focal Utopia BE Sub

Sources:
Music: Aurender X100/ Playback Designs MPD-3
Movies: Oppo BDP105d (thinking in using the dedicated Stereo Outputs)
TV: SKY HD
Tuner: Magnum Dynalab Etude (believe it or not, still listen to radio

It will probably be used 4-6-8 hours a day, so looking for SS and not class A (too damn hot)... something reliable, simple to use and good sounding, that it can be left on all day if needed.

Was looking for a Mac Integrated (MA8000), as they look bombproof (are they?).... but open for suggestions...

Cheers!
What's your budget in USD?

Since you already have the Aurender & the Playback Design as your digital front end source components, so you should be looking for an analog integrated amp, the one that has no DAC. just linestage analog inputs.
Besides those above great recommendations of the Gryphon Diablo, Pass, Levinson, etc, I would like to add the Rega Osiris analog integrated amp which is a class AB design. It retails for USD $10k here in the US. The Osiris is Rega's flagship top of the line integrated amp. Sounded terrific. The power outputs of all Rega amps are always conservatively rated, and while the Osiris is only rated at 160 wpc @ 8 ohms it is a very robust power current delivery. A current delivery that matters most, not the wattage (power output ratings).

The Musical Fidelity M8XI just picked up and EISA award. Looks like a rock solid option. High power too.
