I'm upgrading my trusted rotel ra 02 in couple of months and find myself with a working budget of around £500. I have a setup that includes an old kenwood cd player and my main source is a beautiful rega planer 3,also a cassette deck and my speakers are a pair of klipsch sf2's. As you can imagine I need quite a lot of extras in my new amp,including a built-in DAC to add a CD transporter later this year ( also suggestions),Bluetooth to add amazon music through my tablet and also a tape loop. I've been researching amplifiers and for an amp that fits my needs the camebridge audio axr 100d seems to have it all (I also researched the audiolab 6000a and rotel Tribute,but they're missing the tape input). I'd appreciate any other opinions that my trusted audiophile family have (also planing speaker upgrade later this year with a budget of around £500,thinking about the Qacustics 3050i's?) As you may remember I have built my current setup from secondhand components via eBay/marketplace and have been very lucky,but with new amp,speakers and transporter and a working budget of around £1500 for the 3 items,I'm treating myself to brand-new components. All suggestions are welcome and maybe there are some ideas that I've not even thought of. Thanks guys in advance as usual.
