I'm really exhausted to research a replacement for my 5.1 receiver with some stereo device.
I would like to find:
- Smart stand-by to wake up from the phone.
- Volume control
- SMB or DLNA playback, I have a PC with FLACs, both WiFi and Ethernet works.
- Trigger output to on/off power external amp. No vendor lock-in.
- TOSLINK or HDMI ARC inputs to connect a TV
- AirPlay
- Wake up on S/PDIF signal
- Spotify Connect (I can do via AirPlay though)
- S/PDIF output for possible further upgrade
- DSD support
There are few devices that probably can do all what I want:
- Yamaha WXC-50 - have no idea how good is it
- Bluesond Node 2i - know to have S/PDIF flaws and other issues discussed on this site.
- Heos Link HS2 - no idea is it good or now from sound quality perspective
- NAD C658 - just can't afford it.
Thank you!
