All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations

Any thoughts on Classe Sigma 2200i or Anthem STR?  Love them Canadians!

@maritime--thank you for the suggestions.  I've never heard of Nuprime so I'll take a look.  I have heard of bluesound but didn't know about the node 2i.

@audionoobie: I have considered the Naim Uniti product lines but I don't think the Atom has enough juice for my ATC speakers.  The other two are out of my price range and I haven't seen any used yet.  Worthy to keep looking at it.  I have heard the Nova with some Focals and the Atom with a pair of Dynaudios.  First was pretty awesome but music was too forward for me.  Dare I say, bright.  Atom/Dynaudio was a fun combo but I wasn't wowed by the sound.  No arguing that you have found something good in this suggestion though.  Thank you.

@rsf507 : Have you listened to it?  What kind of speakers with it.  Great suggestion.  I think it ticks ALL of my boxes very nicely.  I read a DARKO review that led me to believe that it was bright sounding unit.  Bright and synonyms thereof scare with my speakers that are detailed themselves.  Let me know your thoughts if you've had a listen to it.

@beetlemania- great suggestion minus the $7850 price tag.  Maybe in 10 years I'll be able to afford a used one.  I'm sure it's amazing, just out of my league.  

@ethos123--genius! can you help me understand the connection between the harmony universal remote and the chromecast?

@hk_fan--didn't know a product like this existed.  At first i was sceptical of the wireless streaming from a phone or wireless from a pc but the quick review I read was intriguing.  Have to do more reading but could be a very nice fit.  

@threeeasypayments--kind of looks like a homerun based on my above criteria.  Have you listened to it?  What were your impressions?  Associated equipment?

@mz....--Is that a home theater receiver?  After I wrote the post and headed to work this morning I thought of a home theater receiver too.  I have a home theater receiver downstairs running my make shift home theater and it's a lot of fun but I have not found it great for listening to music.  Fun for movies and video games, less good for music.  What is your experience?

Thanks for all the great intel!

@djones: the M100 and M150 are the most intriguing to me and I keep going back to them.  On paper they look great.  Hard to find any reviews that are of any help.  In a world of audio reviews where all of them are positive reviews I kind of read between the lines in a assuming that instead of a reviewer publishing a negative review they just don't publish one at all.  That may be assuming too much, however.  Have you heard one?  Associated equipment?  What did you think?

@mr_m--wise comments.  good stuff.

@usery--Nola! Sweet!  Clever speakers.  We should be friends.  ;)
I see one available on The Music Room with room correction which I think would be smart given my inability to do anything about speaker placement.  I purchased my current set up from them and have been pleased.  I have also have a sub- polk audio is doing  the job nicely, IMO.  

@usery64– really helpful comments and references.  Thank you for chiming I’m with your personal experience and other good info.  What speakers are you running with it?

Interestingly in the article usery referenced above, the DAC section of the m100 is the same used in ATC’s own CD/DAC.  Since they are the ones that have manufactured my speakers that seems like a cool coincidence.  I know any DAC is more than just the chip but found it very interesting.  

Any differences between m100 vs m150 other than watts?

Thanks for the info, Transience.  The only review I could find on the gold note from digital audio review suggested it sound “hot” which I took to me bright, harsh.  Your review is the opposite.  I have ATC speakers which are not bright but are detailed.  Therefore I have a fear of any bright, detailed equipment.  I’m sure the Ayre is amazing.  In my mind they’re one of the elite companies making audio these days.  However, they’re always out of my price range.  How are the control apps for both units? Have you used them? Music direct is now selling AVM stuff which has piqued my interest.  I’ve been focusing on the AVM CS 2.2 specifically.  Any first hand users of this one?
