Hi Sachin !! You just mentioned exactly what I have had on my mind lately. Was planning for a mac mini earlier. But then 3rd Gen Apple TV is even better and cost effective. I do have the latest gen Apple TV but that doesn't support optical output, just the HDMI. Thanks for endorsing my idea. Am going for it.
Also, just realised that I can install Tidal, Qobuz as well as Spotify on Apple TV. So, my network streamer Audiolab 6000N goes redundant ?!!!
Oh No !!!

Hey Sachin,
Thought I must update you with this one - so, I got my hands on this Gen 3 Apple TV. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't support Gen 3 and earlier Apple TV any more. So, it's just not letting me sign in to iTunes store. I tried numerous times since yesterday but in vain.
Also, even if I could have managed to sign in, I won't be able to download any 3rd party app from store like Tidal or Spotify (bummer). So, it's just a solution (if it had worked) for iTunes only, like you rightly suggested.

Keep suggesting me ideas, no too expensive ones though

Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify on Apple TV? How come I didn’t know?

i just checked my Apple tV and found an app only for Spotify. Are you sure that Tidal and Qobuz is on Apple TV, here in India? Or are you using a non-Indian Apple ID?

Sorry, one more clarification. Spotify and Tidal are there on App Store, but not Quboz. My mistake there.

Though am not completely new, but I thought I must introduce and thank some of you for your posts, advice & suggestions that made me purchase a few gears to enter into this real world of music.
Had been into Bose and surround all the while.
So, my month old investment were the Dragonfly Cobalt along with a pair of KZ AS16. I was shocked to hear the world from a different perspective. No seriously !! Alas, my joy didn't last long, since I soon realize that it's shutting me off the outside world completely. So, here they lie idle, unused & maybe waiting for the right owners.

All this while I had been reading posts here, very old to latest posts and ultimately took this decision to buy myself the following gears:

Audiolab 6000N Play network streamer
Audiolab 6000CDT
Audiolab 6000A to be used as an integrated amplifier
Last tuesday I got my Klipsch RP-600M
Thrsday - I got a Rack made for my gears
Today - the Rega Planar 1 got delivered and am yet to see the box, unbox it and listen to some vinyls
I have premium subscription for Qubuz, Tidal, & of course Spotify and Apple Music.

What are you views about this mini setup ? Please please pour in your advice, suggestions. I won't mind anything against my setup. Any or every comment will help me improve over time.

That's a lovely set-up you've got yourself. Congratulations !!!!

It would be awesome to see a picture of the rack

Thanks for the encouraging message
These images were shot before Diwali. The black speaker cables you see here are now replaced with 14AWG Cliktronics ones. The Vinyl collection has incremented, lowest rack almost full ‍

Lovely setup! That P1 is a beauty
Do stack your vinyl vertically though. And plan for a lot more storage - you're gonna need it

Thanks Jayant !!
yes, I understand and the records are now almost vertical & rack filled.
As for the storage, I’m already exploring design of another rack for Vinyls, remotes & a Mac Mini.
