I'm in a similar situation and ended up with a Onkyo DR-UN7. I had to get a converter to change the component video out to HDMI. It will not play BlueRay, only regular DVD's and CD's. The Onkyo by itself will only run the front speakers, to run the rest of a 5.1 surround would require a separate power amp, but we don't need surround and I can't remember the last time we actually watched a DVD at the cabin anyway. I built a PiCore player with hifiberry DAC+ with analog out to the Onkyo driving small Bose AM3's. For a pretty small system both my wife and I are very happy with the sound. I have a full copy of my home library on my laptop and run LMS on the laptop when I'm at the cabin.
