Hi all, hope your all well, I've got a bit of a (first world) streaming problem and was hoping the collective knowledge of these boards would be able to help me. I'll try to keep it brief*, but I'll list my set-up first so you can understand what I'm trying to do. Are you sitting comfortably, right.....
Ok, I have the following set-up..
Cinema Room (Room 1) - Kef R7 Front, R3 rear, R82c centre, SVS 3000sb, 85" Samsung q70T, Denon AVR4300, Cambridge CXA81 and Cambridge CXN V2 (R7s run through the Cambridge CXA via the pre-out on the AV processor)
Garage (Room 2) - Monitor Audio Bronze 2, Cyrus 2, Bluesound Node 2i
Lounge /Kitchen (Room 3) - Sonos 3 x2, Sonos Playbar, Sonos Playbase Sony 55"
Sonos Play 5
Please note the lounge is a fairly large open plan room (38'x18') that has the kitchen at the far end with the sonos 5 in it.
I want to change room 3 to a higher quality 2ch set-up and still be able to stream over the all rooms, but I also want to rip my CD collection (approx 300 that are currently in a box).
I also have plans to eventually change the pair of Cambridges in room 1 to better suit the R7s.
My current way of thinking is to buy a Naim Uniti Atom for room 3 and pair them with something like Monitor Audio Silver speakers, then buy a Bluesound Vault for room 1 to rip my CDs. The problem I would face is the Uniti isn't BlueOs compatible and I couldn't stream my CDs in Room 3. The only solution I can see is to back the rips up, stick them on a thumb drive and plug it into the back of the Atom. This is a bit clunky and I've been searching for a more cohesive solution, but I'm a bit stuck.
I did find a 'Brennan B2 which doubles as a NAS Drive but that is about it. I know there's Roon, but I don't want to go down that route. I know I could go BlueOS throughout the house, but that would mean the Nad M10 instead of the Naim and I don't necessary want to be confined to one system. I'm also keen to avoid buying a NAS drive which I appreciate would solve this.
So, am I being bloodyminded for not wanting the M10? Is there anything I am overlooking? Am I overthinking this? Are there any other solutions I missed?
TL;DR - How can I rip my cds and play them around my household without being confined to BlueOs?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I look forward to hearing your solutions.
