I was not in that deep with the more recent series and financial outlay. Now I understand the nice sum of change when you sold your gear. I stopped myself during the "chrome bumper/olive" heyday with a couple of 135s, SuperCap/52/CDX and a fully tricked out Linn LP 12/Troika/Ekos/Lingo and some old school Linn Isobariks and a Fraim. Then sold the LP/CD collection went for a LFD integrated, added a Weiss DAC and Mac mini and got some nice old Naim SBLs. It's only over the last two or so years that I went back to Naim with the all-in-one-solution. Then, when I tried the Devialet, it was pretty clear that is was better and I just had to have it !!!
I have testet the Mac mini solution, but I didn't found a comfortable solution to control iTunes on NAS, WIMP, Spotify - plus I had to use the TV as Display, to small to control it from the sofa 3m away. How do you control your Mac mini ? I think the only solution is direct streaming with the ipad.
