Naim all in one, very interesting. They sure have heritage based upon quality.
If you follow chorus’s system design, do also budget for Windows Server 2012 R2 (I got mine very cheaply off Ebay), Audio Optimizer 3.0 this will turn off over 300 background programs in Windows, Fidelizer Pro (this will stop multi threading and will assign programs specific cores in the CPU. Windows Server 2012 can run on core mode = no GUI and therefore less jitter.
Budget around $2-300 for all the software, which will help lower the jitter, noise from your music server. I would also suggest a good SSD for your music files or a network server to bring the music files into music server computer.
