Network CD Setup - Help Please

[pratyush]

Hey Guys, Really need some help here on trying to figure out a system at my home.

Just a bit if a background - I already have an Onkyo HT System.
I need a rather simple Audio setup (Not HT), which can do the below things:

1. Play files on my PC/Network (Essentially meaning it is DLNA Compliant)
2. Play Internet Radio
3. Have the typical capabilities : CD/USB/Aux In/Line Out/Digital In
4. Should not take up a lot of space
5. Try to keep the budget close to 40k

After a lot of searching this is what I could come up with:

1. Denon CEOL RCD -N8K

This is available close to 61k at Pro FX and I am overshooting my budget by alot. I can get this imported through ebay where I can possibly save close to 10k.

Other options and in that order are:
1. Marantz M-CR 603 (No wifi)
2. Denon CEOL RCD N7 (No CD Player)

Please sugggest, I am tearing my hair out now.

May be this Marantz M-CR603 Network CD Receiver will suffice for you, based on your requirements and budget.

Really disappointed with the response here. Came back to check this multiple times.

Anyway went with my first option, would be posting the review soon.

I was wondering if "Logitech Squeezebox Duet" is just what you need or the Marantz MC-R603 as suggested in above 2 posts.

Consider the Pioneer N30 and N50. They are however not officially available in India. The N30 will be within your budget even after shipping and customs. If you can stretch a bit more by around 10-15K or so, the N50 is a match.

If CD, USB HDD is an absolute requirement then you have to drop these two from consideration.

Thanks for the response - as indicated I had already bought the Denon N8 setup. I was tempted for the Marantz 603 as it gave you options to buy your own speakers but the wired internet was a deal killer.

So far pretty happy with the N8 - does a fairly good job, though I would have loved the DALI speakers - maybe someday later.
