Streaming for under £500 that will hold 2000+ cds at full quality. A little more money will buy you a vortexbox server with more capacity.

Hope that reads more like a language you can understand? I've never searched for combined storage/dac solutions, the obvious ones are Devialet etc which are serious money
Great thanks for that Des, yes that seems more simple cheers. I am sure there are many people like me who want to go down this route, but for me its like some one saying " hey fit this to your car, you will get 100 more mile per gallon, it also has auto reverse etc. only thing is to use it you need to strip down gear box .add a turbo move some pipes etc". All fine if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge. I think i need to look into this further, as im sure it is simple enough, just due to my lack of understanding and fear.
