...which PT are currently selling for £299.

Especially so when you consider the Yamaha WXC50 I suggested in post#19 sells for £249 in the UK and seems to be very similar to the RN602 but without the hefty true 80W/channel RMS power amp section. That's a bargain power amp.

Keep in mind all the Yamaha Streaming Options are going to use the same Smart Phone Control App, so your interface to the system is the same regardless of which one you choose.

There is also a Yamaha streaming Option for £120 WXAD-10, but ...again... at current price the Yamaha RN602 is just £300.

You could also look at option using the Yamaha AS701 which is an integrated with DAC and 100w/ch. Plus one of the Yamaha Streaming Options. Though that will not come out less than the Yamaha RN602.

Again because of my old computer and old browser, I can't get into PeterTyson, but they have good prices and good package deals.

You could also check Richer Sounds, AudioVisualOnLine, HiFix, HiFiGear, and others.

The best advice is purchase used equipment. Somewhere like Second Hand Hifi | 2ndhandhifi | Used HiFi For Sale

Bigger bang for buck!

The best advice I can offer is to find a decent local hifi store, tell them you budget, what you want to achieve and arrange demos of lots of different sources, amps, speakers etc, definitely look at trade in stock and ask for a full warranty if you go that route.
