Hi, I currently have a Wiim Amp Pro and am looking to upgrade. I would like to keep the streaming otions.

My current set up is:
Rega P3rs with ND7
Rega MM Mk5 Phono
Bowers and Wilkins 607 S3
Rel TZero Mk3
and the Wiim Amp Pro

Ive spoken to different companies and as usual they have all given different opinions. I dont really want to go any higher that £650 and below are what they have suggested.

AudioLab 6000a Play Wireless amplifier and Streaming Player (£399 on Peter Tyson)
Marantz Model M1 (£576 richer sounds clearance including the extra 10% off)
Eversolo Play (£599)

I would like to have access to apple music or at least airplay. Whats everyones opinions on the above and better options?

Thanks
Gaz
 
To be honest, I don't think the amplifiers you mention will give a huge upgrade. If you want to go a serious step up you have to look at higher priced amps.

Probably only seen as a "let down" because of the price of the thing compared to rest of system . If it serves a purpose then stick with it.
Thats the feeling im getting. everyone i speak to says its a reasonably decent amp and would take quite bit of money to get a worthwhile upgrade. Do you have any experience with Graham Slee? Ive been potentially given a good price on an Era Gold or Reflex M, do you think this would give me a decnt uplift in sound from my vinyls?
 
I have not heard your or the other mentioned amplifiers in your list but I use an Audiolab 6000A (non streamer version) amongst other amplifiers.

Imho it is a fantastic sounding item and well worth trying. RS do them and you can always return it if you find yours is better or no different.

However, Audiolab's streaming platform is far from great and I decided to add a WiiM instead.
