RE: Choosing The Right Receiver

Your budget and specification will make it hard to find something these days if you only want stereo and not an AV receiver but do want radio, a DAC and Bluetooth in the box. Most new receivers are 7 channel for AV whereas used stereo receivers from the past will not have any digital facilities.

Do you really need the FM/AM radio facility of a receiver (remember that you may also be able to stream radio stations) or would you be happy with an integrated amplifier? Do you really need the amp to incorporate a DAC and/or Bluetooth for streaming or would you be prepared to add a Bluetooth receiver and a DAC later? So would it be OK to have a just astereo receiver with a phono input for now? Or a stereo amp with digital facilities but no radio?

I am asking to see if there is any flexibilty in what you want.
