The source that replaces the disc · review
An amplifier and a network player in one chassis, with 150 W per channel stated — the only product in this catalogue that is both a serious amplifier and a serious streamer.
The bottom line The one product here that replaces a receiver, a streamer and a DAC at once — and states its power per channel, which almost nothing else in this catalogue does.
A stereo amplifier, a network streamer, a DAC and a Bluetooth receiver. In a living room where the system is a pair of speakers and a television, that is four boxes reduced to one.
150 W per channel. Per channel, not summed — which is the only form in which a two-channel figure means anything. What the listing does not give is the load: 150 W into 8 ohms and into 4 describe different amplifiers, and the full specification sheet carries it.
HDMI ARC. It is what allows a television remote to control this amplifier, and it is the difference between a hi-fi system that gets used with the television and one that sits beside it.
AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in, plus aptX HD over Bluetooth. Between them, almost any phone in a household can send audio to it without an app being installed. That breadth is a licensing achievement rather than a technical one, and it is unusual.
Whether one box is right for a decade. The amplifier will age slowly; the streaming platform will age at the pace of the services it talks to. In an all-in-one those two are welded together.

Because it is what lets a television remote control the amplifier's volume, and what makes both power on together. Without it, a hi-fi amplifier under a television means a second remote for the rest of its life — which is why recent two-channel designs have started including it.
It is a trade. One box means fewer cables, one remote and a coherent design; it also means the streaming section — the part that ages fastest — cannot be replaced without replacing the amplifier. For a system meant to last a decade, that is the question to weigh.
Internet radio · DAB tuner · Wi-Fi · Bluetooth · Spotify
An internet radio with a receiver's connections — which makes it a streamer for a household whose main use is radio rather than a music library.
Best for: A kitchen, a study or a second room where radio is the main use and streaming is a bonus.
≈ £160 / 159 €
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth · AirPlay · DLNA · UPnP · internet radio · NAS playback · optical and 3.5 mm outputs
A multiroom receiver with an unusually long protocol list — AirPlay, DLNA, UPnP and NAS playback — which is what lets it fit into a network that already exists.
Best for: A household with music on a network drive, where the streaming should not depend on a subscription service.
≈ 129 €
Network player · Wi-Fi and Bluetooth · Cirrus Logic converter stated · compact
A small streamer built to add network audio to an existing system — and it names its converter, which is the specification to look for on this shelf.
Best for: An amplifier or a compact system that predates streaming, where the goal is to keep it rather than replace it.
≈ 210 €
