Advice on integrated hybrid amp

I am looking for a hybrid integrated amp to play FLAC files from my computer, through a DAC I already own. My speakers are 87db 6 ohm, so I need a bit of power.

I'm seriously considering the Peachtree iNova, which may even have a better built-in DAC than the one I have.

Are there any other amps out there in that price range ($1800) I should be looking at?

tube preamp section and solid state power ampsection, or DAC/amp combo?
