I am trying to find a speaker (s) that i can just plug in, use some type of app (iPhone) that will read from the upnp on my hdx.
the qute works great in the kitchen, but in the garage/pump house (fish) its not the right solution.
and if another naim box arrives, i will get shot.
i have looked at libratone and audio pro type systems, but no joy.
i am not looking for high quality, just some light background music.
the building is too far to run an analogue and have a small powered set of something. its a 1 or 2 box solution that i can use as a player for the hdx upnp.
any ideas?

the kef x300a are what i was originally looking at, but they don't look like they will work directly from my hdx.
i thought about a sonos, but the subscription is something that i don't want.
however the qobuz looks interesting, can you download albums to own?
will check out the eclipse later
thanks all.

This suggestion is probably a bit too basic, but it's what we have in the kitchen. It's a Roberts radio with music player. It plays music that lives on my UnitiServe very happily via wireless, and can of course get Internet radio too. It's not a Naim, but for £200 sounds very nice.

My daughter uses her I-Touch with a program like Media Connect to a Bluetooth speaker (Cambridge Minx Go) to play music from the Naim server anywhere in the house: cheap, portable, decent sound. BTW this app can also play the music from the I-Touch to a Naim player, wirelessly (a UPnP Airplay).

I use a B&W Zeppelin for a similar need. Works very well with Airplay and iTunes, but I more commonly connect it via an iPod Touch to the 8player app to play Flac music straight from the NAS. Not quite hi-fi but sounds nice, and dead simple to set up and use.
