My setup is as follows, i use a Onkyo TX-NR838 for my movies, and sky and htpc for movies and spotify and playback of flac files
I then use my Audiolab 8200A for my Music, (integrated) and (power amp mode) to drive my front speakers in my 5.1 setup via pre outs on the Onkyo TX-NR838.
I did have a Q-Dac which i just sold, tried to make do with using the Onkyo TX-NR838 as source in conjuction with my pc which i use to play my flac collection and spotify and kodi, but its now lost its sparkle and sounds rather dull and un exciting, so i purchased a CA 650 cd player to tie me over until i make my mind up which path to take.
Prior to selling my dac, i also sold my Arcam FMJ BDP100 Blu-Ray Player, as it no longer played discs, and decided not to buy another, so here i am now wondering what to do next.
So my delema is, do i get a new dac, and cheap bluray player, and keep my cd player i have, or get the CAMBRIDGE CXU which ticks all my needs, having just the one box, it is a dac, networking, bluray and cd player, saving me three boxes to home in my otherwise full rack, but is it to much of a comprimise, as movies and stereo are equally important to me.
I have also concidered the Cambridge Audio AZUR 851C Upsampling CD Player DAC Pre-Amp too, which would leave me without a bluray player, but i do have one in another pc that i could use in the HTPC which given how often i would use it compared to already mentioned would be a compromise i could live with.
So what do you all think?
