    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?

    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.

    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...
