Most of you are probably aware of this..........

..but having bought my wife a present  of an iPad earlier this week we got the news that Spotify is now available in Ireland.  

So now with spotify premium on the iPad, my old apple airport express connected to my 552 aux2 I have a world of music streaming at 356 or some such, with the controller in my lap, and as good as n-stream has become spotify's interface on iPad is about as good as it gets.

i had been thinking of getting an ND5 or NDX to add to my main system as I like what the uniQute does in the TV rooms second system.

however seeing as I want to remain with cd as my main replay this solution is fantastic. The iPad even lets me use a qnap app to steam from my qnap nas. ( Not flac alas only my 256ers for my iPod but still full access to all my ripped files.
