Thanks for your response - the Oppo looks a beast. Off to do some more reading. If anyone else has suggestions, I'd be very glad to hear them - Quality domestic is an area completely new to me, so I really have no idea what's possible and available, and any pointers to alternatives are very welcome! Meanwhile, I'll be lurking around here somewhere - the forum looks fantastic... Sean

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and hoping I'm in the right place to get a bit of help. ...well, new to all this highly technical streaming audio stuff, anyway. I'm hoping some of you can give me some research directions... I have a bunch of boxes just now, with lots of cables, and hacked connectors and converters, and stuff - all analogue. I'm sick of the sight of all the string, and have just started exploring the possibility of going as close to all-wireless as possible. We have Mac Powerbook pros in the house, with a Synology Diskstation storing the audio (this is new). We only have a small telly, but the audio is rubbish, so I have routinely run it though the 'hifi'. Things I need: A speaker system (just 2 channel - nothing fancy) I can stream to from the Diskstation, either directly or via something else, but as wifi as possible. A bluray/DVD player I can use as a CD player standalone, ie without switching the telly on. Also as wifi as poss. Access to BBC radio services A way of dealing signal from the skybox A way of dealing with signal from a turntable, and a revox reel-to-reel. Accessible from iOS devices, preferably with a minimum of discrete remote control handsets. I know this is likely to be sacrilege here, but (whispers) *I'm not too bothered about sound quality* I'm an ex- live sound engineer, you see, and my top end is fairly shot - so why spend the money? Also, I can't make ideal listening conditions in my house. All I need is all of the above, with a reasonable consumer-quality sound. Thank you in advance for any help you can give, Sean
