Streaming Preamp w/ Phono


Hi guys,


I'm pretty new here but not new to audio. I have recently moved my ADAM A7X studio monitors out to my living room and am really liking how they sound in the room. I'm looking for a preamp that I can use with it, with the following specs:
  • Can stream Spotify (hopefully Tidal as well once I upgrade) directly
  • Can stream Airplay directly
  • Phono/analog input
  • Optical input for TV
  • XLR output
  • Remote controllable
I've been looking at the Mytek Manhattan (I/II) but that's a bit out of my price range (under 2500). The Brooklyn is a great looking alternative, but I'd have to get a separate streamer and like the idea of having this all in one box. Additionally, the Myteks use Apple Remotes which seems strange especially given that I already have an Apple TV and don't want to get the remotes mixed up. The Auralic Polaris also seems nice but I don't need the amp section.

Are there any other products I should consider? Thanks in advance!

McIntosh makes preamps that do everything on your list, but they cost a lot!


The Oppo Sonica is a great product for $799.

Which could then be connected to a standard preamp with built in phono. Two boxes isnt so bad...

Sounds great, has everything you need now and then, great support. Unfortunately is way out from your budget.

Thanks for your replies! I like the look of the Sonica, and it has the right features, but it's gotten mixed reviews sound-wise. Is there anything else out there that I should be looking at? I like the Cambridge Azur 851n as well but it lacks the analog input.

I just know there's other options out there but I haven't been able to find any of them!
