I’m looking for a stereo streaming receiver for my living room setup. I considered both the Eversolo Play and the WiiM Ultra, which both seem like popular options but they both suffer from massive dealbreakers.

• Eversolo Play seems almost perfect for my use, but it doesn’t turn on with the TV even though it has eARC. Dealbreaker
• WiiM Ultra doesn’t support AirPlay, also a dealbreaker.

What I’m looking for doesn’t sound too outlandish, but apparently it is. My absolute minimum requirements:

• HDMI ARC input, and HDMI-CEC so it turns on with the TV
• AirPlay
• Phono input
• A nice display for album art and stuff

Budget is up to €1000ish, I’m located in the Netherlands.
