Check out the Squeeqebox2 or 3 model by Slim Devices. Plenty of posts here about pluses of that. Then, regarding the amp selection, you'd need to mention your budget first, and what kind of music you listen to, your room, etc, or you're going to be getting recommendations all over the board. Just my suggestion. Good luck and good listening!

Pentodes will give you more power - but triodes bring out the emotion in the music. Also, a solid cd player such as the Arcam CD73 would be a plus vs a PC. Studio1
