Elsewhere I have detailed the problem I currently have with my Touch which may well end up being unusable quite soon . So I have to look at the prospect of replacing it and what the most cost effective options are.
Seen the Cocktail x10 and if you buy without HD then it is around 300GBP .A hybrid drive with SSD and HD at 2 TB would be about 80GBP and this should present me with one option. However never used this unit before so have no idea if it sounds okay and works well . Anyone with any knowledge about it ?
Another option is something like the Denon 720 which can be had for about 199GBP it has not screen which I find useful but think you can download an Android App and could use my phone as controller. Again not really had any time with the unit but presume it should work okay and at least match the Touch for sound quality.
Just to be clear I will only be using the streaming side of whatever I use as I will feed a digital out signal in to my system and the media streamer with be ethernet wired into home network and a lap top wit 2 TB USB drive stores all the files.
Any thoughts or suggestions for simple solutions that will work ?
Just to be clear
