All in one solution for bedroom system. Suggestions from all appreciated.


I have Salk Song3 speakers that i need an integrated to power. I think I will be plugging my MacBook pro into it for Roon/Tidal listening.  Solid State is my preference because I'm a low maintenance type. The right preamp/amp combo might work also. I thought Audio Alchemy would serve me but I don't want many pieces. Anything from a few hundred dollars to $5000. Suggestions please.

I would check out the Bluesound audio equipment. The amp is the Power Node 2 and would match great with your speakers. If you have a HDD with digital files you can play all those files too and stream music. If you have an extensive CD collection you could get the Vault 2 and rip your CDs into FLAC files. That could marry up with the amp as well. These would also work wireless and wired and allow you to explore MQA on Tidal. You could get Roon, Spotify or any other streaming service you might like. All is well under your $5k top budget amount. I have the Node 2 and it sounds tremendous and is fun. BTW your smart phone or tablet becomes your controller, choose your music from your bed.
If analog is your choice (with) a good turntable I would check out the Parasound Halo integrated amp. It’s right at half your total budget and if you did not like the internal phono preamp you could upgrade to a better one with left over cash. My two cents..
