Hi I have a Cyrus Streamline 2 and normally I use my 160Gb iPod Classic to listen to my music via it's USB socket. I then use the n-remote to kind of remote control the iPod. I'm in the habit of having a playlist per artist and I have lots of them! The n-remote allows me to view music by...

Just thought I'd update this. I demo'd both the Naim UnitiLite and Cyrus Streamline 2 with Kef Q500's, Tannoy SE's and Kudos X2's. I also listened to the Naim through Neat Motive 2's and Rega RS3's. Of all those permutations it came down to the Naim with the Rega RS3's versus the Cyrus and...

Hi I want an all-in-one system to replace some ageing separates. Research thus far has lead me to either the Cyrus Streamline 2 or the Naim Uniti Lite. The problem is now getting the right speakers for either and I've got conflicting advice coming at me from all directions |( My budget is...
