@diffin - Do you need a BlueRay player for video or multi-format playback? If not, a good CD player, or a CD transport and a DAC might be a better solution.
Got a budget in mind?

Poor internet, streaming not possible
First of all, I am about a generation behind.
Secondly, I suffer from terribly throttled down internet speeds in my location. Streaming is an option I can only sometimes use.
I was happy with my Audio Research Ref 150 and my Magnepan 1.6s etc until the entire system was stolen.
I have a decent CD (and vinyl) collection they didn’t take.
DAC this and DAC that has me a bit confused, as I see prices from $99 to $18k for. DAC.
I assume my best option is to buy a Blu Ray player and run that through a DAC to my vintage Marantz 2270?
Thoughts about what steps I should take and secondarily on recommendations on lower budget items, as the hifi is not all they took and we are slowly rebuilding.
Thanks
