One box solution

Hello Everyone, 

I finally hit a wall with my health, I am almost 72 and have to downsize and move to a facility. It’s a very nice place but a lot smaller and my current set up can’t go so it’s all going in to storage. 

I am looking for a one box solution, the Naim Uniti Atom comes to mind but I am looking for better if that’s possible. My budget is 15k or less and has to have a remote, I don’t get around so good. Actually need bookshelf type speaker suggestions too…so 15k or less for speakers and 15k or less for a all in one intergrated…I will only stream so the box needs to have a Dac and everything built in, airplay,and Quboz…maybe the Uniti Atom is the best solution but was hoping for something better…thanks..

I hope things go well as you make this transition. Wondering if something like the Dutch and Dutch 8C would work for you.

Consider a pair of active standmounts with a preamp/DAC. Buchardt actives (A500) and then a compact but complete preamp, the ProJect Pre Box RS2, which has a Dual DAC, headphone amp and remote and a selectable tube preamp section. You could use any streamer with it: Bluesound, Sonos, WiiM, all of which are compact.

The JBL SA750 is the full feature box: streamer, DAC, integrated amp, headphone amp, remote, 130W "class G" which is an A-AB. Standard size cabinet.

If you are going into a multiple-resident setting, having headphones and headphone amp feature is recommended.

Sorry to hear about your health.  Is there a local dealer you could work with?  Would make things a lot easier for you with all of the things you’ve dealing with.  Be well.

You might also look at Linn's complete systems. They have a "one box" design. They have a dealer in Bellevue.
