Sorry for my complete ignorance........... Budget? Well, normally buy second hand, so I guess £100 - £300. Ta.
Mike, did you try any streaming ideas given in this thread since you posted in October?
Just so you can get a flavour of things I'm willing to help. I can, if you wish, send to you from Amazon a 3.5mm jack/rca cable. This will allow you to connect your laptop to a spare input of your amp. Then it will simply be a matter of booting up your laptop and playing sounds. Willing to chat on the 'phone (or I can remotely login to your laptop) to walk you through things.
Let me know if you are interested and if so send me your contact details via PM.
(small question: is the RCA input on your Naim 72 still free? If not and you still have a din input free I'll order a 3.5mm jack/din cable.)
