Help required.
Main priority is stereo music, which i have a Cyrus 6a, Pioneer PD8700 platter CD and Wharfedale 420 speakers (yes i know i am odd, but like the sound) and am very happy with sound of that system after trying all sorts of modern Hi-Fi kit.
But i have a new 55" 4k TV, Sky Q, PS4, Sonos connect (play Spotify and Itunes music via ipad) and Pioneer BDP LX 71 Blu-Ray (i class this as high end at the time) player and have just about run out of connections and would like the best of both worlds of stereo and surround.
What do i do? Sky Q and PS4 (i also game and Netflix too, not too bad for an old duffer) only have optical outputs - The cyrus 6 has no optical inputs, so i can't go for a good AV stereo sound with this amp.
So the problem (and this must be the same for all us Hi-Fi and tech freaks) where do i start.
One option is to buy a Arcam Movie and get rid of my Pioneer Blu-ray player ( i have a spare set of Dali 3's and would just buy a matching centre and sub) but down side is running 2 sets of cables to my front speakers and swapping them when i want good stereo music.
Option two is to buy something like the news 5 star Denon AV amp and latest 4k Blu-ray player, plus new centre and sub, but i still have the stereo cable swapping problem and tried AV amps for stereo listening before and it was awful.
Can the Arcam Movie play stereo CD's as well as my seperate CD and Amp combo? The Arcam music is meant to be good, but can't add a sub and would still need a 4k blu-ray player, so that's a big spend.
Any good ideas anyone?
