thanks, I'll have a look at those you mentioned. I had been looking at the Cambridge Audio CXN v2 (https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/row/en/products/hi-fi/cx-series-2/cxn) , would that not work in this setup? Would I still need the pre-amp? (I know I'm a noob)
Streamer to pair with vintage SAE 2500 MK 25 Stereo Power Amplifier
Hey
I'm a bit new to the hi-fi world so I thought I'd see if someone could point me in the right direction. I have a vintage SAE 2500 MK 25 Stereo power amplifier that has just had some TLC so is in top shape. Connected to that I've got some big ass infinity qls 1 speakers that have also had some TLC but a couple of years ago.
Now I've got an SAE preamp which is in need of some updating and that's where my question comes from. As the pre-amp is also vintage it doesn't offer much of modern input options (although I've got it hooked up to Apple Express for Air Play) so I'm thinking I should just replace that with a streamer, most of the music I play comes from a streaming service anyway. My question is, with this kind of power amp, what streamer should I be looking at (mid range budget wise) and do I need to look at a streamer as well as a pre-amp?
Hope it's ok to post this kind of question here.
Cheers
Joe
