Combined speaker amp and DAC

[idc]

The B&W MM1 is a combined speaker amp and DAC. Something along those lines is going to be my next purchase. But are there any alternatives which combine all three?

Thanks in advance.

There's also the Elac BS 243 Active speakers

Although the fact they've clearly been retrofitted with 3D may put you off...

Thanks JD and Dave. The B&W at £400, the Elacs at £1000 and the AVI at £1100 make this a pretty limited field. The B&Ws are the likely purchase on costs alone, as this idea is to replace my Bose Sounddock for occasional non headphone listening and to be able to listen to Spotify other than on headphones.

These are only the 'domestic' ones. There are loads of 'studio' ones. I'll try and remember a list of manufacturers - Genelec is one...

If it's for occasional use, i'd look at M-Audio Studiophile AV40s. We have a set in the kitchen fed from an AEX and for the price, the sound they produce is astonishing!

With a DAC though?

The zeppelin air could be an option as it must use a similar DAC to the MM. depends on your Airplay status I guess, then you can stream Spotify to it. Also the Logitech Squeezebox will now support Spotify. I know my suggestions have not got digital in connection, but if it's for occasional use, would it matter?

That link doesn't seem to mention anything about a DAC in those however?
