Yes. It does exist!
The Denon PMA-350SE. You can pick one up for less than £100. Plenty of power and quite remarkable sound quality for a cheap amplifier.
I've had a few of them and tried them driving my big Tannoys instead of my usual Class A power amp and always been astonished at how well they do.
The PMA-350SE is very transparent and clean sounding and it has a lot of grip. The 50 watts available should be more than enough.
The 'SE' is the audiophile model without tone controls and not to be confused with the basic 350.
I'll bet somebody here on AOS has one knocking about that they'd sell cheaply.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
