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

It’s a total aside to the question you asked, but take a look at getting a Harmony remote to alleviate the 3 remote problem and simplify using your setup for the non-audiophiles in the house. Even the mid-level models can do a great job of making things easier for the wife and kids, but they have more expensive versions that include built-in app control and lots of ability to customize for your setup.  They sell refurb versions for a discount on amazon and I’ve had good luck so far with them. This won’t fix any connectivity issues but can possibly take the requirement of included app control off the “must have” list and improve your current situation quite a bit for way less money than you are planning until you find an all-in-one that checks every box and fits your budget...plus I think room correction and airplay are rapidly evolving tech that might be much better if you delay until you really need new gear.

I used to do the 3 remote juggling act until a new puppy got his teeth on the AVR remote...after realizing how much easier life was with a universal remote that was actually good, now every AV setup in the house and two rooms at my parent’s house has gotten a usability upgrade on the cheap with a chromecast audio and a Harmony remote (mostly the non-app versions) and even my tech-inept parents love how much easier things are. 

The Micromega AS400 is a killer unit, although it doesn't do everything you ask (Tidal) - but it does have Airplay and sounds fantastic.  I use mine with a Focal Dome 2.1system and it sounds amazing.

Cary AiOS may be worth looking into.

If you want the latest HDR/HDMI format support:

* Marantz SR6013 for $1500.

Even though it uses AKM 4458’s on all channels, if you wish to use a different DAC for stereo music, get the Bluesound Node 2i for $500 as the streamer. For the DAC, your current one is good, but it’s using the ESS 9018, whereas the 9038 is the current gen, and the Topping D50 is $250 and uses dual 9038’s and measures excellent (jitter reduction better than -125dBFS, >20Bit while maintaining +/-0.1dB of linearity, THD below -105dBFS, IMD below -55dB (-105dB at 0dBFs), etc.).

The Marantz can also be run in bi-amp mode if you wish for more power. The quality of the wattage is also pretty high (0.003% THD from 10W to 90W, better than +/-0.25dB linearity with analog inputs, better than -0.3dB with digital inouts, crosstalk better than -75dBFS at max output, SNR >110dBA, etc.)

@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!
