The hope is to offer a broadly similar sound with one box to what I offer in multiple boxes at present, as far as analogue audio goes. The customer base for high fidelity equipment is shifting older in age - generally speaking the younger generations have zero interest in high resolution music presentation - and with the inevitable downsizing process most of the older generations tend to be intent on, my thinking is most will want simplification. It makes sense therefore to try and squeeze as much of the wanted analogue functions into one enclosure. In my opinion DACs and headphone amplifiers are best as separates because they're a poor fit with the integrated amplifier architecture. And in saying that, a DAC with headphone amplifier, although that's nothing new, would, with the right sort of inputs and outputs, probably become an acceptable "other box".

It seems I'm an exact fit! 18 months ago I decided to ditch the longstanding two-box amplification and eschew the multiple digital inputs which in my case became redundant as I upgraded the vinyl front-end instead. Bought a second hand British-built integrated of dual mono design, a quality product with no frills. 33 watts per channel into 8 ohms which is adequate with efficient speakers. Sometimes less is more.

A Majestic with a ULDE headphone amp circuit would be just the ticket! Thanks!

I am sure to are right graham as to the market place rather like downsizing a house; very tricky to find something suitable and a reasonable price which incorporates all the needs/must have to a hooch standard but without the peripherals not needed.

My current integrated amp has many bells and whistles that I've no interest in using as I only play records now. I would be very interested in this design to compliment the GS phono stage and headphone amp. It appears to be a very pure solution.
