[QUOTE="croak, post: 968802, member: 361"] Your Marantz PM44SE was a well above entry performance stereo amplifier. A budget AV amp is not one but several steps back. A NAD C316 BEE V2 is a good new stereo amp that you could get under R7000. It doesn?t have digital inputs though. I do not believe the dac section of an entry AV amp will outperform the Chromecast and then still keep up with the Marantz on the amplification front. There are however many quite pleasing Chinese DACs out there for little money you could add later. https://nadelectronics.com/product/c-316bee-stereo-integrated-amplifier/ [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200118/3c5dcb67215e259a04241e6cc1d22aef.jpg[/IMG] Consider the D3020 V2 for a Swiss knife that has most of what you might need for under R9000 with good NAD sonics and various digital inputs. https://nadelectronics.com/product/d-3020v2-hybrid-digital-amplifier/ [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200118/ab79c7a4b5c08eb457bfceeb868a6cd1.jpg[/IMG] If in Jhb I can help you with those and others. .
