Hey community.
I own Yamaha A-S500 integrated amp and a Schiit stack of Modi 2 Uber/Magni 3. My Mac, my TV and my headphone amp are connected to DAC while Sony PS-HX500 turntable and Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers connected to Yamaha. Nothing special there.
Now, what I want is to improve speaker amp quality and a DAC quality while get rid of goddamn cables since there's lot of them when you connect that many components together. Also, I need to preserve functionality. So I need all in one including phono stage.
I figured Marantz PM7005 which has DSD-enabled DAC and supposedly discrete stages. It should be better on speakers and should have more functional DAC but the question is will it's head amp be nearly as good as Magni 3 which is nothing but brilliangt? Is it event a good idea to have an all-in-one? Any other suggestions besides Marantz?
Thanks a lot.
