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.
