Hello All,
I am going for a hifi system consisting of an integrated amplifier and bookshelf speakers. Since most of the music listening will be from streaming services like Spotify, Amazon Music and youtube, I have been suggested by forum members to go for something like a Marantz PM6007 integrated amplifier with a suitable streaming option. Which one of the below two options would work better with such an integrated amplifier as these options are similar in price point:
a) A Wiim mini or Wiim pro as the streamer with the integrated amplifier. Here one would need to use the Wiim app to access the various streaming services.
b) A good Bluetooth receiver with all the hi-fi codecs like LDAC etc. so that streaming can be done from phone using the streaming apps of Spotify etc. Although Bluetooth is supposed to significantly compromise the sound quality, I saw some nice reviews of Bluetooth receivers like Auris Blue and Ifi zen blue. Would using such a Bluetooth receiver with the integrated amplifier would be as good as using the streamer? This option seems more ewasy to use, especially for senior citizens.
Thanks
