i'm saving the £'s up to buy a AVA RS3 Ripping NAS which i also hope to be playing through a pair of grado GS1000's. basically my question is apart from obviously my laptop and a good broadband connection, what else will i need to complete my system set-up? my plan is to download hi-res music files from the likes of Linn and the Bowers and wilkins music club as well as listening to my cd collection through the Linn DS, but which one would best suit my needs? it would be great if WHF could maybe publish an idiot's guide to computer based music
also would i need a headphone amp to connect the grado's to the Linn DS?.
