Hi all,

Currently have a pair of b&w dm303 speakers either side of my tv, which are driven by an old Technics stack system.

I‘d like to update things a little with a new amplifier or receiver, but I‘m unsure in which direction to go.

Why I want to upgrade:

1. Stack system is big and ugly, looks a mess.
2. Stack system doesn't have a remote control.
3. Would like to improve sq.
4. Would like to have more up to date connectivity such as bluetooth.
5. Would like to de-clutter especially re cables

Something like the Marantz MCR610 looks very appealing at first glance, but I have several sources to connect (main source: Spotify via minix neo x8h,cable box, xbox) and I'm not sure that has enough connectivity, particularly as my current system has two optical inputs.

So.. I'm open to suggestions.. budget is max 450gbp.

Thanks!
