Buyer guide

How to choose a streamer or amplifier

Build around the equipment you already own: a streamer adds music access, while an integrated amplifier must also suit your loudspeakers.

System role: decide whether you need a source component, a DAC and preamp, or power for passive speakers.
Connections: confirm the digital inputs, analogue outputs, HDMI ARC and subwoofer options your system needs.
Streaming support: check your preferred services, app experience, network connection and Roon or AirPlay compatibility.
