    Thanks for the feedback, whilst that's a great shout I'm intrigued to get opinion on the Cyrus before venturing out at this stage and to avoid discounting all avenues.

    Streaming System

    Hi, Ive spent an age looking to buy my first decent Hi Fi setup and i am now within touching distance. Up until a few days ago it was going to be the Marantz PM6005, Pioneer N50 or CA Stream Magic and Monitor BX2's. But I've just seen the Cyrus Streamline2 for £699, and as a one box starting...

    Thanks. Does anyone know if the pioneer n50 is fussy with file quality?

    First Hi Fi

    :rofl: Having overlooked this revelation I would love to retract my future possible requirement for a CD player.

    First Hi Fi

    Nah I've got the NAS already so the money is purely for the system. I would prefer seperates I think, and I've been looking at amps like the rotel ra10 and marantz pm6005 due to the fact they will pair well with a CD player later down the line I hope. I did consider the pioneer n50 streamer...

    First Hi Fi

    My room is 10ft x 20ft roughly, and I hadn't really thought too much about the speakers yet due to being unsure about amp/streamer combo. The dac route is a possibility I guess, I kind of settled on a streamer as they seem to provide better software options or ipad control apps etc.

    First Hi Fi

    Having spent an eternity waiting and saving for my first system I am now ready to invest, but find myself in need of some advice to point myself in the right direction. Most of my music exists in digital mp3/FLAC formats which are all due to be placed onto a Synology DS214 NAS shortly, and I'm...

    Streaming HiFi setup

    Budget is about £800. Any thoughts on Marantz or Pioneer streamers?

    Streaming HiFi setup

    Well a DAC could be an option too then if the disk station can push the songs. Any DAC recommendations over the streamer then? Also any advice on my AMP or speaker selection to compliment please anyone?

    Streaming HiFi setup

    I hadn't considered an all in one really as I wasn't sure if this would limit my options too much, plus I haven't really read many reviews on all in one systems. i will bare that in mind though thanks.

    Streaming HiFi setup

    I've just invested in a Synology DS213+ NAS to store my vast digital library of MP3, WAV and FLAC files and I'm now looking onto the next stage of my setup which is a HiFi to do it all justice. I'm hoping you guys will be able to help steer me in the right direction based on my limited...
