About 8 years ago I did start again from a blank page keeping only my 45 year old Thorens turntable. Now I have too much invested in my current system, complicated as it has become with DACs and other add-ons, to consider another fundamental change. However, if my house burned down, …
I would redesign my house with a more accustically designed listening room.
I would go entirely digital to the speakers. Class D amplifiers for each unit in the speakers with pulse width modulated output, all cross-over, room accomodation, room equalization etc done by digital filters. The speakers would be fed wirelessly from a single small controlling (digital) preamp which had inputs from the internet (for radio), from my NAS (for music), and from a FreeSat box (for TV sound).
Yes, I would ditch the TT (frankly too much bother to use much now) and FM radio (Internet radio better quality on the right stations, eg BBC Radio 3 on 320 AAC).
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is not a suitable preamp currently available, but then again, my house has not burned down, and hopefully won't.
