Hi,

My current system is

Stereo

Squeezebox + Linkstation full of FLAC files.
Cyrus DacMaster + psx-r
Cyrus Pre-x
2x Cyrus Smartpower Mono'ed

AV
Denon avr3805
Cyrus Smart Mono'ed on centre

Speakers

Monitor Audio
GR60 x2
GR10 x2
GRC x 1

All connected together, so the cyrus smarts power the fronts in av mode.

Now this system sounds very good and i am guessing it would be hard to beat but can it be done on the second hand market without spending silly money.

One spanner is that the only reason i want to change is to reduce the box count, i want a pre/power av combo that could replace the denon + cyrus setup for both av and music or atleast come close. Oh and the pre will need a decent DAC to replace the dacmaster.

Mission Impossible or not?

Help
Steve.

I would give the Arcam receiver's a listen. They are very good in stereo and also have good DACs built in. If you don't like the DACs the you still have the option of adding one on. THe AVR350 would be the one to listen to.
