I currently use rega Apollo and rega dac, looking at getting a nas and maybe a streamer as well. However confused on best way forward.
1. Can I plug a Vortexbox prestige/liv zen straight into rega dac via spdif? Everyone seems to say do not use the USB input. If not how? I use chord cables throughout at the moment.
2. Why do I need a streamer? If so what would be recommended?
3. How do u download hi res from internet to nas?
4. How do u recommend backups being handled.
i have iMac for computer but really want to keep hifi as simple as possible.
my system as it stands is the above rega, Nottingham Spacedeck/SME 309/ sumiko bp se and graham slee 2 se. Speakers are Sonus Faber auditors.
i have no amp, listening via stax headphones at the moment but have started to look for a new amp as well. like the idea of naim but really find it a bit muffled and expensive so looking at sugden a21se or valve based options (develiat to expensive).
Help appreciated
