Hey There!
Since a while I have an Onkyo R-N855 which I'm very happy with.. I don't understand why is not that popular keeping in mind the price/features performance.. but now I would like to move a bit forward to the future so I'm planning to make an upgrade soon.. but I'm lacking of options here.. my wishes are:
Purpose of the new system: just stereo listening with internet radio and connection to NAS (DLNA or SMB)
My ideal scenario would be a Bluesound node + compact stereo power amplifier (max 100w) to connect to my actual Dali Oberon 3's but the 100% dependency of smartphone in the Bluesound node it's taking me back a bit from that configuration..
So far the only most balanced option I found is a Marantz M-CR612 but even though it doesn't have BluOS, it has HEOS which a bit better than the Onkyo's software but not sure how much I will sacrifice sound quality moving from the Onkyo to the Marantz..
Any hint is welcome!
Cheers

- Screen to show information, metadata and/or song playing
- Ideally it should have BluOS but as far as I know the only possibility of having a screen is a NAD C700 which is way out of my budget
- Budget: around 700eur, if you guys suggest a great device that I'm overlooking closer to 1000eur I will consider it too
