Match this versatile source/control model with a power amplifier to create possibly the highest quality and most compact HD hi-fi system available in the world today. Streaming, digital iPad/iPhone playback and changing, plus lots of auxiliary input options makes this miniaturised modern unit a superb place to build a system.
