Dura, you are expressing what I and many other would consider a sensible approach. What we are seeing in realiy is quite a different picture though. The market for separate DACs is unbroken. And so called 'audiophiles' are jumping on every donkey's back that comes along. It is a simple fact that the audio industry has no interest whatsoever in integrated solutions. Separat components yield a far high margin. Yes, they do offer all-in-one gear, but always with a compromise involved; be it the power output of the amp section (most common), usability of in-built streamers or quality of the DAC (i.e. my MF M6i). Not for the life if me would I ever buy a dedicated DAC. I want as little boxes as possible. I expect every source component to have a decent DAC on board. But having a very good DAC and only this ONE integrated in the amp would surely save a lot of resources (any money). So I absolutely see your point.
