$2,000 Bel Canto C5i Integrated in very good condition.
You get all you need in one compact package:
Powerful wattage, Line input, MM Phono Stage, USB DAC plus optical and coax digital inputs, Headphone amplifier and preamplifier output to connect to sub or another power amplifier.
It has state of the art D-Amp modules, thus the compact design, but you can also use this pre-amp output to experiment with analog gear. For some time I used it connected to Audio Research D-100 power amplifier and the sound was simply amazing. I also tried it with PrimaLuna tube amp to the similar effect but with more "live" sound
It comes with generic remote currently configured to control volume and switch outputs to Line or Phono. You can re-configure it using attached instructions (I used MyHarmony learning remote to do the job). Alternatively, all functions can be controlled via volume knob, which is also input selector
Very good to excellent condition, please see the pictures for details.

Here's some reviews:
The C5i Integrated Amplifier is simplicity and musicality in
one compact chassis that controls all of your sources, is versatile, and easy
to use
HDR: High-Dynamic Resolution Core
HDR Core is the result of 20+ years of engineering to refine
the digital to analog process, and is comprised of 3 major components: Low
Noise and Ultra Low Noise Master Clocks, Advanced Asynchronous Interfaces, and
Dual Mode Low-Noise High Efficiency Power Supplies. HDR Core technology is
fundamental to every e.One DAC and Integrated product, creating the most
realistic, open, and defined musical experience possible.
Built In Headphone Output
The dedicated low-impedance, high-output headphone amp
circuit has been designed to drive high quality headphones with pristine
clarity. You'll be amazed at the musical depth they bring to your headset.
Simple, Elegant Interface
Designed to be functional and simple, the dual-functioning
one knob interface is a joy to use. The single 4 digit display works with it
seamlessly to access all basic functions in a few clicks.
Compact Marvel Plays Music with Commanding Openness,
Definition, and Richness: Bel Canto e.One C5i Integrated Amplifier Includes
24-Bit USB DAC, MM Phono Preamplifier, and Headphone Amp
How can an integrated amplifier that's so compact, and so
simple-looking, sound as intoxicatingly rich, present, and vibrant as the Bel
Canto e.One C5i? It all has to do with the Minneapolis-based manufacturer's
command of engineering, parts, and design. Featuring Bel Canto's High-Dynamic
Resolution Core – a technology comprised of ultra-low-noise master clocks,
advanced asynchronous interfaces, and dual-mode low-noise, high-efficiency
power supplies – C5i plays with wowing levels of openness, detail, and
definition. Its 60Wpc (into eight ohms) output doesn't slouch, either. And the
U.S.A.-made C5i runs cool and efficient, making it ideal for space-challenged
rooms and listeners who don't want the bulk or heat of larger amps.
Want to spin vinyl LPs? Who doesn't – and with C5i, you can,
courtesy of its built-in MM phono preamplifier. A dedicated, low-impedance,
high-output headphone amplifier drives almost any ‘phone on the planet, while
minimalist aesthetics – distinguished by a simple, dual-functioning knob and
four-digit digital display that access all basic functions – nearly disguise
the fact it also includes a 24-bit/96kHz USB DAC for computer audio enjoyment,
24-bit volume control, and five digital inputs. We guarantee your satisfaction but
have a premonition of how you're going to feel about this knockout component.
"[The C5i] combines both functionality and performance
in a compact package, underscoring the fact that you don't need to spend a small
fortune to get good sound."
– Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio
"Considering its reasonable price, the C5i has a
remarkable feature set. Most important, its DAC's multiple inputs include a
24-bit/96kHz-capable USB input and a Home Theater Bypass mode."
– SoundStage!
