All in one units have always existed, they were just called "HTIB" sometimes the amp/speakers/sub, sometimes a DVD player as well. Also the interest in soundbars now is because the sound from TV's is so bad even the general public have noticed, the one in mine is laughably bad. So a soundbar is...

Avrs only have minor advancements over the years as they don't need new features and gimmicks Thats fine that's all HT people put attention to. Usually just number of channels, room eq, decoding of new formats and hdmi spec. Other things like streaming, app control are just additional...

Complete nonsense.

This is Class D so they do exist https://nadelectronics.com/product/t778-surround-amplifier/

I guess those speakers are fine for Peter Dinklage.

Possible analogue sources are digitised anyway, so it's probably better to use digital. Contact Q acoustics ask them if analogue sources are converted to digital for the DSP, or is the signal left analogue from input to output.

Just saying for a 5.1 system, that's the recommended solution, as AVR's decode all movie soundtracks, don't discard LFE info, can downmix surround formats back to stereo or keep native etc. Using multiple stereo streamers to get it pseudo 5.1, when it won't be DTS at all, and suspect in...

I'd just get a AVR. Connect the Wiim to the AVR via coaxial, and plug your speakers into the AVR. Wiims are stereo products, and any multi channel is a bodge around method at best

Pro Plus has better quality DAC over the Pro. If you're using analogue out- get the Pro Plus (or the Ultra)

No, but I had one for a while for demo, built like a tank. About 20kg.

Quality mech with new CD players is a dream, it won't happen. Most likely just cheap ones like laptops. You're not going to get transports like this anymore, and forget with brands from Wiim.

If you do demo a pair ask the dealer to put these under them lol https://www.futureshop.co.uk/atacama-audition-300-speaker-stand-pair I do have Q Acoustics speakers, 3010i for front and rear heights, and they're good value for money.

"We saved several feet of MDF to reduce costs, here is some marketing nonsense why it's ok" :D

hahaha Who designed those.
