Naim “Future of Hi-Fi” Event featuring a hi-fi and hard disc system. Three is also a chance to hear the new DR power supply upgrades.

Are we finally going to see the middle ground between HDX and UServe?

+1.

The UnitiServe is way overpriced IMHO. Especially as you'll also have to add a back-up to it.
