  1. New to this, so apologies if I get the terminology wrong... I already have a CD based hifi and I'd like to move to something based on using my Synology NAS. My CD player is an Opus 21, which has a fairly good DAC using SP/DIF coax input, so it seems to make sense to make use of that. I also already have an iPad and I’d love to use that as the controller, with a really good app. Whilst I do have a Windows laptop, I don’t really want it involved directly in the playback. I’m not particularly interested in more than standard CD quality. The Synology NAS has an iPad app which can control the music streaming and although it is fairly basic it’s good enough for me and it seems stable. So, I think (I might be wrong) that I need a good quality UPnP client with coax out and a good iPad app. Sonos Controller seems to fit the bill and appears to have a great app but might be overkill. The upcoming AURALiC Aries might also be a good fit. Alternatively, if there was a simple and cheap dumb box that just produced a digital signal for the DAC I could use the Synology iPad app or one of the UpnP Controller iPad apps (I haven’t found a really good controller app yet). I haven’t seen a box like this, although the Apple TV comes close, and way cheaper than the solutions above. Grateful for any help.
