I am looking to buy a network music streamer.
There is a bewildering amount of choice out there as with most things these days.
Needs/Wants:
Must be able to access internet radio wirelessly.
Stream from iPhone and Macbook.
Best sound quality within budget. (£400-£2k)
Nice to have but not important:
Rip CD's.
I already have a Rega Brio Amp, Teac CD Player and Q Acoustics floor standing speakers.
Would I be better to replace the amp and CD player with an all in one unit?
Would I get better/worse sound quality with an integrated amp?
I realise this question is a bit like how much would a Mercedes cost me and there is no definitive answer but I am looking for recommendations for those that have one.
My local Audiophile shop (which I have visited) does not sell Streamers but they do sell equipment for the price of a new AMG or two! £140k for speakers anyone?
