Hi,
For two channel you could look at an 808 that has a built in CD ROM drive, or an 818 without the drive; both units have a Meridian-Sooloos network audio streaming input, which is also supported by Roon (an alternative music streaming app).
If you did want to go multichannel then look at an 861v4 or preferably higher processor.
For two channel, other than HiRes Bluray you would not really need HDMI, however if you did then Meridian have a the HD621 it's a 6 input 1 output HDMI switcher but it also strips out the PCM audio from the HDMI and sends it to the processor.
The new (soon to be released) 818.3 will also support Meridian's MQA format.
if the 800 series are 'to rich' you could consider G series or say a 568.2 s 568.2mm.
Regards, Carl
