    It depends on what speakers you have, only your ears can give the best answer A good option in your budget is the Eversolo AMP-F2

    The Topping LA90 measured perfectly on ASR. I have no experience with it though.

    Amplifier and loudspeakers should be considered as one, imho any proper Hypex/Purifi implementation is going to be unbeatable in terms of both SQ and expenditure.

    This does not mean at all that it sounds good. It is possible that with some speakers, difficult to drive, may not sound right at all. The ideal would be to listen to it on your speakers or at least on some with similar characteristics. I recommended the F2 Eversolo because I listened to it with three loudspeakers, Wharfedale Linton, which are easy to drive, the more demanding Opera Callas and the very demanding Harbeth P3ESR, and it did very well with all of them. But this does not mean that will play well on your speakers.

    If the amplifier has inaudible distortion ( which it does) and drives your speaker properly without clipping then it will be audibly transparent.
    You may of course prefer the sound of added distortion.

    I have used the DenonDRA-900H (driving Axiom M5HP bookshelf speakers). That was ok in my small office.

    I am now using this:

    driving KEF R11 Meta's in the media/TV room and like it a lot, especially the XLR inputs.

    Have fun!

    I’ve used a Mini GaN 5 and it was a very good pairing, but upgraded to an Orchard Audio Duo and it sounds even better. The Orchard is above your budget, but the Mini GaN is within your price range.

    I have balanced outputs going (via a xlr switch box) to two mono topping la90ds or for headphones a topping a90d. Sounds great with both. Speakers are q acoustic concept 40. Headphones are hifiman edition xs or Sennheiser hd600.

    I am well impressed with the sound quality.

    UI and app however, not so much, especially when compared with blueos.
