Best audiophile all-in-one?

    I'm looking to replace my ageing separates system. My Denon 3020 AV amp (purchased in 1994) really doesn't cut it anymore. Speakers are Mission 753, my CD player is a Marantz CD52 MKII (same vintage) and my turntable is a Sony PS-333 circa 1977 with a cheapish Ortofon cartridge. The Denon makes both sources sound 'muddy' and dead - too much middle and not enough high and low with an overall sound that lacks a lot of punch and dynamic.

    I realise that the phrases 'audiophile' and 'all-in-one' are usually mutually exclusive in the same sentence.

    I originally looked at the Arcam Solo-Movie, but the lack of Bluray, network streaming features and phono stage put me off. It's a bit of an old design now and I don't think Arcam have plans to upgrade it.

    The Naim Unity looks interesting, but the lack of video puts me off.

    Has anyone got any recommendations?

    Thanks.
