I'd recommend a miniDSP (or this one if you also need a DAC)and a pair of these:

If you are curious to know what Purifi Audio is and how it measures:

NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier Review

The NAD M23 is a 200wpc stereo amplifier utilizing the SOTA Class D Purifi 1ET400A to push the envelope of performance and efficiency. Is this the best amplifier we’ve reviewed in our 25 year history?

Yes did consider but that will be too much of a clutter and mess. Would like to avoid that if possible.

It is not available here.

Possibly, but it would provide what you requested: "most neutral and transparent and lowest possible distortion "
In addition, a MiniDSP solution would provide you with more flexibility than any built-in solution, including optional room auto-calibration.

Instead of two large boxes, three smaller boxes is a big difference? Is fan noise a consideration? Where are you?

Hmmmmm........
Will also be power limited. Unless I go up to something packing NC2000 or similar.

Yes that is correct. Would have liked if it was limited to 1 unit. But well if have to go 2 boxes then probably can go 3 boxes. Few extra cables.

Nah. Fan noise not important.

Reliability is important though. Like Long term running. So wouldn't it be better to have less failure points.
