one-box solution

NAD has something. LD40 or some such.

Musical Fidelity's new reciever with cd player all-in-one.

How much do you want to spend? The MF that Getheleadout speaks of is nine grand. The LD40 is less than 1K I believe.

Linn also makes one.

NAD has two current products, the L73 and the L53.

A couple of other options are the Arcam Solo and the Linn Classic.

You should be able to find a Linn Classic for under 1K on Audiogon. Quite good.

I've owned the NAD L-40 and the Linn Classik. You get what you pay for. The L-40 is decent enough but the Linn creams it so it all depends on your needs. Vocals are smoother with the Linn and bass is definitely more controlled.

You can also pick up a used Sony AVD ES series receiver. There were several models. They were HTiB units with a DVD player and 5 channel amp for home theater, but they also played SACDs, and the audio fidelity of the all digital amp was quite good. For a few hundred bucks you could have a nice unit.

Personally, I've converted a Marantz ER2500 DVD player/5-channel receiver into a stereo only unit for my office. Audio is fair. Thought about getting a used NAD L40, but why bother?

Denon UD-M31 mini-system ~$300.00.
