It certainly does look the right sort of item. Do you know if it supports gapless, as I can't find any reference to this online? If you can't verify this I can always email IEast.

I want to buy a music streaming device/renderer to use in a spare room to feed into a tradtional amplifier using music files stored on my QNAP NAS/Twonky Media. I thought this would have been a simple task but it seems not. At present I use a tablet for the job, but am tiring of connecting it...

I didn't know that they all sound the same, hence me asking the question. I have never used lossless files before. By better, I suppose I mean that the format will be recognised on the majority of players rather than limited to s single manufacturer, and also that it will be more efficient with...

Another few questions now come to mind. Is it normal to save CDs as .wav files, or is there a recognised better lossless format to save as? With the software I have at the moment, my only options are .wav, wma lossless and real audio lossless. I assume the latter is of little use other than with...

How does a NAS work in practice? What I don't want is a house full of wires. I'm not really interested in a totally intgrated system throughout the house, preferring to have one high quality HiFi in the main room, and other more mainstream standalone items elsewhere, unless of course some...

The tablet seems like a good interim option, though I would never, never, buy an Apple product. A little research tells me that these are still only around 64GB capacity though, so well short of my target to store my entire CD collection on. I also suspect that capacity of portable items might...

I'm not sure where the connection is between an MP3 player and my home hi-fi. For starters, I want something permanent rather than having to move a piece of equipment round every timne I want to use it in a different place, and secondly, as far as I'm aware, mp3 players only go up to 64GB, so...

The thing is that today's expensive SSD will be tomorrow's common product. 1TB SSD are available, and will eventually become affordable. The simple fact is that hard drives spin and therefore make a noise. I'm happy to wait for SSD but I want to be prepared, and glean as much knowledge from...

I am of a belief that the way forward in HiFi is with components that don't spin. Having been using a CD-less car audio for 4 years now, I'm surprised that CDs exist at all in car audio. Anyway, back to my point. The long term continuing fall in price per MB of solid state drives suggests to...
