The NAD we received as a wedding present 18 yrs ago just died. I am at a loss to know what to replace it with. We are not audiophiles; I input all of our CDs [about 300] into iTunes and we were running them via a grape iMac to Airport Express to the receiver. It worked fine. I see where there are some receivers [a Pioneer 700 watt 7.1 channel for example] that has something that "improves sound quality for compressed music files." Should I be looking only for that??? Most of the receivers don't mention MP3s at all. Oh, we'd be ok spending up to $500. Thanks for any suggestions.
