My ears are ready to retire!

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. @russ69  and @millercarbon we already know how you feel but your words are totally disrespectful to the OP. Didn’t your mother teach you if you can’t say something nice then STFU?

"...Didn’t your mother teach you if you can’t say something nice then STFU?..."

Yes she did. Being retired and at one time downsizing the advice I gave was the best advice I could give (sometimes good advice is not what you want to hear but it's still good advice). My advice was in no way disrespectful nor did I tell him he was an idiot, it was offering hope and perhaps a different way to look at things. Sorry it didn't meet your standards.     

If money is no problem the RAAL sr1 headphone , or the Berning headphone amplifier with a top headphone would be my dream in the same situation....Downsizing in gear but not in S.Q. quality....

My best to you

@russ69  - OP said, “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” and you tell him, “downsizing is a mistake”.

How in any manner is your advice in keeping with what the OP asked or helpful to them?  He’s very specific about what advice he is looking for and you tell him he’s making a mistake. How is that not disrespectful?

"...and you tell him, “downsizing is a mistake ...How is that not disrespectful..."

Well Matt, I am mostly here to share my experience with others with the hope they find what I say is useful. I gave my honest advice as to the way I might tackle the question/problem and that was to state that maybe an integrated amp and a pair of loudspeakers might be one way to go as did some others. Perhaps I am too blunt and I could have explained in detail that I at one time had tried to downsize and I was extremely disappointed in the result and perhaps someone else could learn from my experience and not make the same mistake I made. I spoke plainly, as I often do, but my only hope is the OP will at a minimum think about what I have offered or just dismiss my idea if it isn't useful for his situation. That's enough thread jacking for tonight, I'll move on...
