I would look at the Sony BDP lineup to see what they offer currently in your price range. You could do streaming on the cheap with something like Google Chrome, and then if it becomes a more important source for you, upgrade accordingly
New digital source recommendation
Hello-I'm looking for recommendation on a new digital source. My current setup is a Denon 2900 CD/SACD, Samsung Blu-ray/DVD player (<$100), Integra DHC 9.9 AVR, Anthem 5ch amplifier & PSB speakers. The Denon 2900 is connected via RCA with the AVR setup to play in Pure Direct mode. The Samsung player is connected via digital coax. with the AVR setup to play movies. I have had this setup for many years & very happy with the results; only forced to make this move because the Denon 2900 has developed a problem (it skips). The 2900 is quite old, and not worth the repair in my mind. My priority is high quality stereo playback. I play BD/DVDs but not so much anymore; for movies I stream via the TV. I am open to all recommendations, i.e. one source that can do it all. I don't stream music now, but I would consider it a bonus if the new source is able . My budget is $500. Thanks in advance.
