My ears are ready to retire!

After many many years of owning great audiophile gear, my ears are ready to retirešŸ˜€. I am in the process of downsizing my home and my audio equipments. I am now looking for a simple, enjoyable, good sounding and maybe all in one system to play mostly digital music. Any recommendations will be very much appreciated.Ā

My suggestion is to get a Sony Walkman and Grado GR10E earphones. The sound is excellent and portable. Ā If you get them from Amazon and they disappoint, a full return is easy.

from someone who owns two ( and a bunch of high end analog gear ), the NAIM Atom paired with a nice pair of even moderate 86-87db speakers will satisfy. Easy and there is a World of music out there.....
have fun, enjoy retirementĀ

For older ears, I strongly recommend tone controls & a loudness switch on your amp.
Your ears will feel like they are 15 yrs old again :-)

Astonishing the disrespect some posters show on this forum. The OP specifically asks about a simpler system for listening to digital. Two of the first three responders have the gall to tell him what an idiot he is for making his decision. @russ69Ā  and @millercarbonĀ we already know how you feel but your words are totally disrespectful to the OP. Didnā€™t your mother teach you if you canā€™t say something nice then STFU?
