Hi all,

I am currently using a Marantz AV8802A as a processor in a 2 ch setup. It's not the right tool for the job: it's made to do 13.2 surround, in multiple zones, with inputs from a dozen devices.

Is there a better, cheaper solution? I could sell the Marantz for ~$1500.

Requirements:
Input (say, ~4 inputs) and output 4k video
Stream Spotify
Balanced outputs
Phono in

I have tried Roon and Tidal, and it just didn't work well enough for the money, so using a Roon endpoint isn't a good solution.

It seems like adding 4k video requirements to a stereo setup makes it way more difficult?
