swapping to a music streaming amp

[RJW232]

i was going to do that but space wise would be better to have a new streaming amp. or the streamer would be in a cupboard below the current amp. not sure if it would affect it being in a cupboard.

Be aware that a streaming amp will be obsolete once streaming services come and go, or change their API's and the amp manufacturer doesn't provide software updates anymore. A pure analogue amp will never be obsolete. Especially if they don't use any proprietary components. When the services change, simply replace the streamer if there are no updates anymore.

"Streaming amps" usually have a plethora of analogue or digital inputs, so no they wont.

FWIW my Naim Uniti Lite (1st gen) is going strong as a streamer some 15 years after I purchased it. Ironically, it is the CD drawer that is problematic.
