Time to get a new amp, I thought replacing a 50 yo vintage amp with amazing tech from 21st century would be an easy task. Oh boy...

I am lost, can anyone help please? Here are my requirements:

  1. Price - up to £800
  2. Inputs - RCA, maybe eARC if digital ports are included
  3. Output - RCA and headphones
  4. Functions - Loudness, Bass, Treble, maybe more
  5. Power standby
  6. Relatively cold, can be used in a TV cupboard. Currently use 40wpc G-class amp likely in A-class mode, all is cool
  7. Sound signature - full mids, good lows and highs. Don't like lean sound, or overly bright/sibilant


Could go with a preamp+power amp combo or integrated.

Any recommendations?
