CD-Receiver Recommendations

You pay the piper but Naim looks really nice.You pay piper on cost but look what you get.My only consideration laying out that kind of money is to be the "new" format outright or some tech coming down road (I see a number of high end DAC's now with Firewire like Weiss but think that USB3 is just about here so why lay out now if that is a selling- off subject but that's downside of combining elements when you don't know what's coming down pike).Another not so cheap but really nice all in one is Meridian.Right now there is a Meridian G61 all in one that has video but they are asking for $2K for it.The new unit a G92 has a lot going for it but the Naim has the Wifi.Buying new I would go Naim.But I mention Meridian as a no compromise all in one that has something called Trinaural sound.I worked a few years at a dealership and customer had one.Only 3 channel stereo I thought was convincing better than many 2 channel rigs.If you want networking Naim but if I were in market for all in and could swing it especially if it might be used in video Meridian is worth looking at.

The Denon S-5BD for $1,800 might be an interesting solution. The home theater features might not be what you're looking for, but the ability to play blu-ray audio in the future might be nice. One unit does it all. I've never heard or seen this product so this isn't a recommendation for it, just listing a potential product.

I suggested the Esoteric RZ-1 ($6K) on that thread but it does not have a tuner (has everything else though). It was recently reviewed in the most recent TAS.

Thank you for the responses so far. I knew about and had begun to research the Denon S-5BD, which looks interesting. Did not know about the Esoteric RZ-1, which is even more money than the Naim Uniti. The latter could work in my favor if I end up getting the Uniti re WAF - not buying the most expensive one available!
