Having already got the excellent all-in-one Marantz CR603 for my bedroom, and discovered Interent radio and Streaming (I'm currently in the early process as I only just got streaming music on Xbox 360 by using PC). I am thinking of now getting streamer for a larger room dowmstairs. I am finding this a bit confusing with all the tech-jargon; but! have got around to understand the main things I would like and have narrowed it down to the following:

1) Must be within £1000 (Max £1500)

2)Would prefer and amp built in, all in one system.

3)High resolutin music or at least 24bit/92khz with FLAC. Must have great sound! (I listen to ambient, deep-house, techno, tech-house, dub-techno).

4)NAS compatible

5)Easy to use interface and preferbly setting up

4)Wireless (though homeplugs can be used if not)

I was interested in the following:

1)Naim UnitiQute

2)Cyrus Streamine (though a bit over my saved up budget!)

3)Olive 3HD

4)Cambidge Audio NP30

Have just look at the Pioner N-30 and N-50. This seems an amazing piece of kit and great price but I believe its not out!

Any help or recommendations on what to buy or not will be very helpful.
 
You should add the Linn Sneaky (20W amp built in) to your list, or the Yamaha NPS-2000 (no amp).
 
Cheers for that - The Linn looks a nice deal. Is this out of the box attach NAS and speakers system ?
 
I'm just waiting for the Pioneer N-30 or N-50 reviews. This is well within my budget and looks to have everything I need. Some online shops stock them, if the reviews are good it will be a great money saver with all the highend features!.. A dream come true :rockout:

Also forgot to mention Gapless play - I understand the Cyrus is capable of this and some have mentioned Naim and Linn, but, can't confirm if true.
 
Near enough, though you need to download the appropriate control software. It can be controlled with PDA, iThingy or laptop. More info here:

There's more about DS here....scroll with sideways arrows (half way down):

The Marantz NA7004 at it's new price (less than 400) must be worth checking out.

It was originally 700.
