Anyone have any insight on a preamp/dac that has built in wifi to enable streaming from Spotify and a NAS drive? I see a Nuforce unit and the Arcam R play. The Arcam unit seems to be hitting the mark but I was curious what others might be using in this space.
I'm looking to pair something up with my Blue Sky active speakers and not have anything connected to a PC or laptop.

Nice! I'd not seen that one yet. Looks solid. I'll do some homework but feels like the right fit.

Thanks Colin. I looked at that. I was under the impression Bluetooth connectivity as a wireless option was not preferred for HD music streaming because of compression bandwidth issues.

Glowing reviews on the Cambridge. Decided to pull the trigger. Many thanks! I got my NAS all setup this week, and wanted to think of a better solution than the headphone line out on my Sonos. This will def be an upgrade.

Happy to help. I've heard nothing but good things about Cambridge stuff, and came real close to getting one of their pres when I recently got the upgrade bug.

My bad, I thought this had more options than just bluetooth. I thought you could play over wifi via an app, kind of like the Squeezebox. The Cambridge looks cool though.
