Listing down my requirement and choices for above said combination :
Source :
- TV for movies (ready to compromise with Headphone out as RCA input of analog amp)
- Spotify
- RCA with my vocal/guitar pedals out for experimenting
Speakers :
- Q acoustics 3050i
This changes by option to option but for cheaper streamers, prefer to have a optical in/coax in on the integrated amplifier.
MUST have : Ethernet port for streamer.
Current Setup / Past used :
- Yamaha YAS-207 soundbar for TV
- Edifier 1700BT for desktop
- Orb Audio Class D amp + Polk T110 BS. (Regret separating)
- Sherwood Amp (forgot number) + Jamo 626FS (Not with me right now)
Options :
- All in one - Yamaha RN-602 - Have mixed reviews, audition difficult in Pune, can't separately upgrade if don't like something. Pro: If I like it, the mind won't wander off online searching to upgrade separates in upcoming years
- Marantz PM6007 + Arylic S50 Pro+(used/new) or Allo Boss/RPI4, crossing budget a little bit or Similar like Acoustic Portrait DaC player
- Some better amp with DAC around 40K and used BDP with Ethernet and Spotify. (Checked some older Sony, Panasonic, can't figure if Spotify is supported) or a cheap Android Box TV for 3-4K.
- Yamaha WXC-50 + used older integrated analog amplifier in ~15-20 K range. I am happy to experiment here and even okay to have amps 10-15yr old if they were above budget range when launched. Many options on Olx and risk involved. Some explored - Marantz PM7001, 8xxx, 6xxx series, NAD few options, Cambridge Audio Azure 640a, Yamaha few options, Arcam very old alpha 3,7,8,10, but please suggest more if you know.
- Yamaha WXC-50 + old power amplifier in 15-20K range. In addition to above - Rotel, Cyrus has some options. Don't know if I can get new power amp in that range.
- (Budget Stretch) - Yamaha RN803, difficult to audition and availability.
- (Budget Stretch) - Audiolab 6000n + Power/IA from above options.
- (Budget Stretch++) - Something in 60K if this kind of future proofs and have above budget range components, like Marantz PM7000N (which is not in budget but just an example, don't know what would be)
