    Hi lads, looking for a price on a streamer + speakers package. Streamer needs to be able to do DAB and dnla. Wifi would be nice but not essential.
    Something like this Onkyo CRN755 + Dali Zensor:
    http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hifi-systems/pah01998
    Any of those left, and how much to deliver to Dublin?
    Or maybe a Marantz CR603 with speakers? Any boardies price on that?
    Don't mind about speaker size, so if there's floor standers available for the right price, they would fit the bill.

    Cruhoortwunk,

    thanks for the post and the opportunity to quote..

    Either would be excellent - however if it came down to Audio quality in the end - I'd have to say that I'd favour the Marantz personally.

    The MCR603 with the Dali Zensor One is just £499.95 and thats a really cracking price have a look here: http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hifi-system-deals/pah01216

    The Onkyo CRN755 with the Dali's is also a bit of a bargain at £349.95 but I do think that the Marantz is worth the difference:
    http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hifi-system-deals/pah01998

    ......However have you considered the Denon Ceol - RCDN8 - this does not have DAB built in but it does have WiFi as standard (you dont really need DAB as you will have the internet radio through which you can access pretty much any radio station and of course it also has a high quality FM tuner built in - Again with the Dali Zensor One it's £499.95

    http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hifi-system-deals/pah01926

    ...However (again) if you want the Denon to sing I would add the Monitor Audio BX2 over the Dali's - it's reduced to £549.95 but I can do a Boardie special at £529.95 - have a look at the system here:

    http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hifi-system-deals/pah01927

    If you wanted to opt for floorstanders - have a browse on the www.richersounds.com site and if you see anything you fancy - I'll do my best to do you a system price..

    Finally if you wanted to go for the Onkyo or the Marantz - rather than add a WiFi dongle I'd go for a powerline adaptor like this one:
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/wireless-streaming/tp-link/tl-pa251/tpli-tl-pa251-kit

    This is the one with the mains pass through at £49.95 - I would strongly recommend it over a wifi dongle as it is WAY WAY faster!

    Cheers John. Leaning towards the Onkyo as it has an optical digital in. How much for the Onkyo and the BX2?
    Already have some TP adapters, so sorted for that!

    John

    Cru,

    apologies for the delay getting back to you - I honestly cannot do free shipping included with that package - it's actually gone up to £399.95 for the package now - happy to hold £349.95 for this one only, but I have to charge shipping at £12.95,

    Apologies again for the delay - if you would like to go ahead just drop me a PM or a mail with the order and your contact details to sales@richersounds.ie and I'll get one of the guys to give you a shout to get you sorted,

    Thanks again,

    John Mc & Crew

    Hi John,
    I got a missed call from the Belfast store on Friday regarding my order. Can you confirm that all is ok, or do I need to give any more details?

    Cru,

    apologies for the delay getting back to your post - we hhave called you because the CRN755 is currently out of stock.

    we are expecting a small delivery into our main warehouse in Manchester late this week but I'm not completely confident that I can get my grubby paws on one before Christmas - apologies for the inconvenience but could you drop me a PM or an email to sales@richersounds.ie with your thoughts and what you would like us to do??

    Apologies again and looking forward to hearing from you,

    Best regards,

    John Mc & Crew

    Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. Looks like the Dali speakers are in stock, so looking for a streaming amp similar to the Onkyo.
    Any package going for the same price at the moment?

    I know it does not have a tuner (except of course for the built in internet radio) but how about this option?

    Hi John,
    Can you pass it on that I will wait for the Onkyo to arrive back in?

    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    If it's alright, I'd like to hold on til Stephen's Day to see what kind of offers are on the sale.
    If there's nothing suitable, I'll just wait for the Onkyo then.

    Package received.
    Happy Christmas John! ho ho ho

    Just realised I need speaker cable. I thought the Dalis would have some. Can you recommend a type? And what type of termination plug is needed on the end?

    Hi there,

    Check out the Cambridge Audio Ultra Micro cable priced at £2.99 per meter. This is a great quality cable but also quite thin so easy to hide.

    You can pop banana plugs on each end of the cable if you like. Our banana plugs start from £4.99 a pair.

    The other option is just to hardwire the cable in. Banana plugs don't have any benefit on quality. They just make things alot easier for connecting them up.

    Hi Chris
    I am interested in this system as well (Onkyo CRN755 + Dali Zensor:)
    Do you know when it will be back in stock and will the price change after xmas?
    Will this system work with a NAS like Zyxel NSA310 1-Bay Network Storage Appliance?
    Thanks Barry

    Hi Barry,

    Thanks for getting in touch :)

    At the moment we have the system in stock. Not sure on price changes at the moment. We get e-mails through with price changes on a daily basis so it could very well change.

    I dont see why it shouldn't work with your NAS drive :)

    Hi Barry,

    The WiFi and Bluetooth adaptors would be a seperate purchase. If your router is going to be close by you can just run an ethernet cable.

    Or use powerline adaptors. These will carry your internet signal across your mains which keeps things pretty tidy.

    Here's a link with more info:

    Let me know what you think..

    Merry Christmas
