Best of these integrated amps...

Of the 3, the ML 585 is the one I have not heard yet. I have the Marantz PM 14S1 and love the sound, but it needs more refinement and XLR connections like the PM and SA 10 would deliver. 

Have also heard the Devialet and it is VERY good. But...there is no way around their DAC. Even the phono input is DACed. Not saying the DAC is not excellent, but if I ever want to add a different one....no dice and no point. 

The ML 585, on paper, checks all the boxes I need checked. I keep hearing how great the DAC is and am anxious to hear it. ( better then the Devialet DAC I wonder?)

That is why I wanted to get some opinions from all you sonic vets out there. To help me spend this 12G and get the best sound. 

ML No. 585

@flip49er FWIW hooking up an external DAC to the Devialet Expert Pro you will still hear the sound character of the external DAC come through. Same if you use an external phono stage.

If anyone is thinking about plugging in an external DAC into a Devialet they don't understand what Devialet is all about. I sincerely hope whatever DAC you use does not colour the sound.
For my part, one of the benefits of Devialet is that it can accommodate two phono inputs, as my turntable has separate arms for mono and stereo. The analogue signal goes through A/D  and D/A conversion and still sounds analog when it comes out the other end.
 A/D  conversion is not unique to Devialet, there are plenty of active systems that require it, but I appreciate some people would be prejudiced against it.
The benefit of the new Devialet units is the stunningly good streaming card, which sits next to the DAC and, like everything else in Devialet including in particular the power supply, should be considered as one unit. Virtually all of my listening is streaming  in high definition and the days of thinking of the DAC as a discrete unit are a dim and distant memory.
