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.
CD-Receiver Recommendations
I intend to purchase a CD-Receiver for a one-box solution to drive my Verity Taminos. The system will be set up in our Dining Room and will be played at low to moderate levels. Redbook CD playback is the focus but a good FM tuner would be a bonus. I believe I need at least 50 wpc into 8 ohms. Full remote control is essential. The only unit that I have auditioned is the Naim Uniti; it is excellent albeit expensive at $4250. Would appreciate learning about other options that meet the above criteria at all price points. Many thanks in advance.

This thread may be helpful: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1290892272&openfrom&2&4#2 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! |
