You could, for example get a Sneaky and then something like a Musical Fidelity M3i, which has HT Bypass....making connection to an AV system much easier.....

Though by the time you're up to £2k for that network player and amplifier, you could also consider one of the Naim Uniti products, either new or ex-dem, all of which will do the job in one box, including the unity gain AV bypass.

Very fair point.....I'm not as familiar with the Naim products....it comes under the advice of "do lots of demos".

RE: what di i use to connect a streamer?

There is no point in me demo'ing as i have no budget,plus if i hear something i want i will pine alot,sulk even more and mrs gsb will fall out with me.

I believe i want a multichanel streamer tho,i like sound coming from all of my speakers(however limiting they be).

I am interested in the oppo 105 as a streamer as it can be used for multichanel.

Maybe not even my upgraded(future) 5.1 system would do a 2k+ streamer justice.

The Oppo is a very well received piece of kit, which is flexible...anyway, it's all academic until you have the budget, and then there will be plenty of encouragement from here on how to spend it!  shifty
