What's your best all in one HiFi System?

[Jasonovich]

I love the signature sound of my Atoll, this guy nailed it when he described the tonality as natural and organic. Not really had any experience with all in one systems but this YouTube reviewer sold it for me.

If I was considering an all in one, the Atoll SDA 200 would be high up my list. I like to hear from you, your personal choice.
@Revolutions . Matt, you decided to dispense with all those boxes, any regrets, what's your thoughts?

Having sort of grown up on "all in one systems", this wouldn't cut it as such for me -looks like another versatile modern (with-Bluetooth, stream-capable) device, though with superior tonality.

Heck, which speakers and which cables would require at least 3-4 threads with 30-40 posts, no? Plus, there's the device or devices required to run the required or enabling app.

I do still have a Nakamichi SoundSpace 8, an actual all (or most) in one. That even includes two remote controls -one big AND one small!! I don't recall whether it shipped with batteries.

Maybe we need modern terms for modern devices, such as an A-lot Atoll.

Speaking of versatile, happy Dizzy Guillespie birthday to you and all.🍻🎂

Define all in one.
This box isn't, in my opinion. It is a streaming amplifier and thats all.
i certainly couldn't use my turntable if I had one.

To me, an all in one is something which has a method of replaying music, has both a pre amp and power amp and needs nothing but a pair of speakers to produce music. My Audiolab Omnia is an all in one. My next all in one won't have a CD player, or phono stage, but if you can play tunes by streaming, you don't need any turntable friendly inputs.

I suppose an all in one is a Hifi unit that is functional on its own without requiring other external devices, I am of course excluding speakers. Having speakers built-in, well it's a different thing, it's a boom box!
Remember those, so glad to see the back of them. 🙂
You have a point. I think a streamer that's a DAC, a preamp and allows you to play music 🎵 from your network and USB, should be called an integrated streamer.
I'm just parroting the coined phase on the web All In One. it's really an integrated streamer.

Naim super uniti if you're talking about just add speaker systems Is the best I've heard and owned .

I believe they should also have legacy inputs and not just analogue inputs but digital to allow connection to the internal dac for when the inevitable happens.

Should it contain a phone stage? well as long as it has legacy connections , a turntable with an inbuilt phone stage would be a great option while keeping the box count very low, a 1500c for example
and ill happily keep a CD player around though dont care if its internal or not.

T+A R2500 R would be a good example I guess, though very very expensive.
