Please HELP!!!

[Andrej]

Hello I am a newbie here!.'l want ask, i bought the system (speakers Mission MX5 and amplifier Marantz PM7004), amplifier am connected to the old Philips LCD TV through RCA connection, all the sound passes through the TV RCA to Amplifier RCA (Satellite, PC, Xbox), the sound is very good.

I bought this system so that I'm interested in music and quality sound (Music 70, Movies 30). Everybody says that the amplifier better than the AV receiver?

During my birthday I want to get
Marantz NA7004 and new TV (there is no RCA on most LCD 3D TVs.

Others say sell Amplifier and buy Yamaha RX-V673, others say to purchase a separate DAC.


For music, what would be the best AV Receiver or Amplifer exsample:

Marantz PM7004 + MarantzNA7004
Marantz PM7004 + DAC
Yamaha RX-V673

Music listening via USB, PC, Internet Radio 80%, 20% CD.

Thanks very much for the help,waiting for comment!

Thanks Andrej!

If you do have options to play via PC, internet radio then I would say go for dedicated USB DAC with optical input in 20K budget to place with your stereo amp. This way you would be able to connect new TV to DAC and then AMP via the optical out which most of new TVs have. Are you also sure about no RCA out from new TVs?

I'm trying to find a TV with RCA output.But New Samsung, LG and other TVs all have optical output ..
others say (Latest TVs have optical output. buy optical converter to RCA or DAC with optical input. fact, when you send audio through the RCA from the TV, it degrades the sound quality

MY vote to Marantz PM7004 + DAC

If you say the Word Music and it will even Eco as "Stereo"-Just funny example

You can 100% Music experience in STEREO set-up and around 70% effects for Movies on same,the remaining 30% would be split as central channel effect 10%,SUB woofer 10% and rear 10%.

Please purchase the DAC and post the set-up soon Awaiting, and

Advance Happy Birthday too

I was thinking about the DAC, but good DAC costs close to Streaming Media Players and networking, and they have more options (inretnet radio, USB) when you do not want turn on pc or tv

 

[Andrej]
