David, Did you ever get the chance to tryout the FS104's?

You are correct, the DAC does not come with an interconnect cable,however the NAP 100 does have one for the V1. I want to thank all those that helped me through this process.

I am going to go with the Synology NAS>DAC V1>NAP100>KEF LS50's. I've decided on Van Damme Blue speaker cables and would like your advice for the NAS>DAC interconnect. I understand that the DAC comes with an interconnect for the NAP 100.

We went one more step, but have a question. I demoed the UnitiLite with Focal 906 and Harbeth P2ESR speakers - They do not carry the KEF LS50's. I also demoed the DACV1/NAP100 combo with the same speakers. The salesperson connected a NDX streamer to this combo. Firstly, the combo sounded...

Well I heard more speakers - Mission SX2's and B&W CM5's and the Kef LS50's again. To my ears the LS50's sound much better. I want to find the Focal Aria 906's and give them a try. The search goes on!

Thank you again. I called a dealer today to audition the V1 and told him my expected setup - NAS>V1>NAP100 and he said that I have to also get a streamer in order to operate the volume controls on the V1. Can you or anyone else confirm if this is correct?

Hi-FiOutlaw, One more question. What would you think about a combo that is the Synology NAS>RegaDAC>NAP100? While I could save quite a lot of money with this combo by not buying the DACV1, am I going to have compatability and or connection problems?

I have an iPad.

Thank you Hi-FiOutlaw. So if I am only storing music, am I correct to assume that I should be looking at a Synology D213j, with 2x1 tb hard drives? Do I need anything else from Synology?

Well it is getting interesting. I heard two different combinations of Naim kit and they sounded very good to me. I could not tell the difference between the UnitiQute+NAP 100 and the UnitiLite. I like the 50 watts of power that the NAP 100 provides. So it is a trade off between not using the...

I did my first audition today. I heard the UnitiQute + NAP 100 + LS50's. Firstly, let me thank Rainsoothe. The only previous exposure that I've had to listen to Naim equipment was a few months ago when a friend of mine suggested that I listen to some higher end Naim gear. I listened to the...

I greatly appreciate everyone's recommendations. While there is debate going on regarding whether the "Nova" option will work, I've concluded it is too complicated for a newbie. I will be auditioning kit during the next 2 weeks, so if others have comments, they are welcome.

DocG, Internet radio and Spotify are not requirements. Thanks

Thanks to all that have provided their responses. Let me give you some additional information that should answer the questions raised. Type of music - Classical, Smooth Jazz, 60's-70's rock Room size - 15 sqm I live in a flat, so the volume cannot be turned up too high. Simple is much...

I do not understand what kit I need and what is a good kit to buy. I've decided to move away from CD's and put together a computer/NAS system from scratch. I think that I need the following: Hard Drive Storage (Computer or NAS) Streamer DAC Pre-Amp/Power Amp Speakers I understand there...
