My system comprises of a Acam Solo Mini and Monitor Audio RX1's. I listen to Spotify and compressed music from my Mac via a Sonos Zoneplayer connected via RCA. Also listen to a lot through the TV and DVD.

I lent my friend the Arcam after his amp broke. He's now fallen on harder times and I'm thinking of letting him keep it.

So iv been looking around at my options. Maximum budget is £400, which to my amazement you can get a new Crus 6A.
But it's all analogue. All my sources have digital outputs and I just listen to Spotify and compressed music!

So do I go digital? Marantz PM6005, Nad D 3020?

I think I want the Cyrus, just because it's such good value. I can't demo one as its on old model. And I know Cyrus has a very clinical rather than warm sound. And I'm listening to a crap source!

Any experience will be greatly appreciated.
