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.

Teac makes a combined unit, rather inexpensive. Best to try it in your system and see if it sounds okay.

The Aura Note looks very interesting. Since the sliding glass door slides back and forth, thereby always leaving one side open/uncovered, has anyone experienced any problems with dirt/dust accumulation where the CD is placed? The design appears to be potentially problematic in this one regard.

Thank you for that information. I subsequently read on the web site that the most recent version added a physical barrier to prevent dust from entering the CD play section.

Arcam Solo Movie 2.1, and as with the Solo Movie 5.1 you get SACD, DVD-A and HDCD decoding. 65WPC. I regret selling mine.

Great feature I fell in love with: it has a built in alarm clock so you can wake up to your favorite FM station or CD.
