I guess everyone here's missed this then:
NaimNet - Custom Install with Naim Sound Quality
Naim Audio launches NaimNet into the custom installation market at London trade Expo on June 20.
Naim has waited until now, studying the market and its offerings carefully, until it was in a position to deliver genuinely innovative solutions that provide the quality that it is known for.
NaimNet™ is a combination of Naim’s expertise in audio and video together with the IP technology of StreamNet™ licensed from NetStreams® LLC.
StreamNet is an innovative and technically superior transport and control system enabling easy control of multiple sources, and uniquely allows full bandwidth audio, metadata (data about the data), and control signals to be distributed digitally around the house on an IP (home) network. It also allows easy system integration with AV, heating, lighting and security systems.
This home network is the same as would be used for connecting two or more computers to share an internet connection or a printer. This same CAT5E wiring can still be used for the home computer network and NaimNet making the cabling especially flexible and convenient.
NaimNet delivers genuine CD quality by sending digital audio that’s a bit-for-bit copy of the CD across the network to any room, and solves the very common problem of sound in one room not being in sync with the sound in others. Furthermore, NaimNet ensures that full quality audio is delivered to local amplifiers digitally without the degradation associated with conventional distribution systems.
The NaimNet system is scaleable and can accommodate up to 1.8 million rooms. It is possible also to have a high-end AV system in one primary room, a high-end audio system in another and a reasonable but low cost system in, say, the kitchen or bathroom. The system while not being exactly 'plug and play' is far simpler to setup than most competing systems which deliver far less.
A great system is useless if no one in the family can operate it. Much thought and planning has gone into making NaimNet easy to operate through a range of rich interfaces such as wall panels, PDAs, Tablets, a PC or a stand alone control interface. Data security is another aspect that has recieved much attention from Naim - all four of the new NaimNet servers include Naim Secure Music Storage so that the owner need never worry about losing his precious music collection.
The first raft of NaimNet products is set to include four audiophile music servers, a four-output DAB/FM tuner, a multi-room pre-amplifier, and room and concealed room power amplifiers.

The next level is the distant storage server :
No more "datas" at home, music, film, personal datas but also software use, etc ... are accessible (from stock, lease, purchase, family, friend, ...) from on a distant server that we can access easily from everywhere (home, car, computer, etc ...) around the world with our personal NAIM remote.
... all that is before the Naim Brain-chip, when you close your eyes, the naim logo flashes on your eyelids
