I understand that with my desire to have 2-chanals instead of 34.6 channels for my video room I am bit off the bitten path but it is what it is. I am comfortable with what it is and as time goes by I more and more form my objective and my interest in my video room.

I am OK with what it is with exception of two moments: I have no remote control for sound and I the system a bit too big. I have way too exercise power amplifier B2 for my speakers, I have a CD/DVD/BlueRay player (older model Oppo) that I ether ether to return or buy, I have preamp with no remote control option, I have tuner with no modulations meter… all of this mean a few components with necessary complexity…
What I would like is to have one single machine that would:

1) Play any disk, including the files from wifi or network
2) Have OK 2ch DAC onboard
3) Have 2-3 RCA inputs in preamp mode
4) Have some kind of tuner with DX option onboard
5) Have analog volume control and remote lit control
6) Have analog tone (HF and LF) controls
7) Have modulation meters on front panel
8) Have ability to save a few stations in memory
9) Have 10W-40W amplifiers onboard
10) Have high compliance transport onboard with FAST reaction time
11) Cost under $1000
12) Have more or less acceptable sound.

I am absolutely not familiar with what is out there. If any of you have seen such a machine then let me know.
