I've tested a lot of stereo receivers/integrated amps (Yamaha R-n402, 602, 803, Marantz NR1200, Denon DRA800H, CA CX61, AXR100d, Advance Paris A7...) and tried to build audio system with: Wifi/BT/FM radio/USB/DLNA,uPNP and Turntable input.
All those stereo receivers had required inputs (and remote controler), but amplifier sections were horrible due to Hiss OCD. Every tested amp had a hiss on JBL tweeter (with Marantz NR1200 as a winner with lowest hiss factor
Due to mentioned problems, i've switched to Topping E50 + PA5 amp. Clear, powerful for JBL Stage A180, absolutely zero tweeter hiss. Now i'd like to purchase or build a Music/Stream server station that would use E50+PA5.
Wifi, BT, USB and DLNA are supported with Raspberry devices and PC. FM Radio can be added via RTL-SDR USB dongle (works on Linux and Windows).
Turntable has a line out (200 mV) so i would need a preamplifier to PA5 TRS Input 2 (from 200 mV to at least 2V).
Equalizer would be appreciated (Moode provides one).
Option 1: Rasptouch Streamer with touchscreen and Moode audio: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/open...-touchscreen-with-volume-control-p-12249.html
Option 2: x86 Linux or Windows based PC custom build. This would also provide a CD player (bonus).
What is Moode/Volumio alternative for Ubuntu and Windows?
Plex, jRiver?
I would appreciate any recommendations for this kind of dilemma and build recommendations
(Raspberry/Moode ease of use, features, Ubuntu/Windows alternative...).
Preamplifer from Turntable line out(200mV) to PA5 TRS input recommendations?
Thank you.
