Keep wife happy with Bluesound Vault with Ipad?

After many years of audio bliss using Vadia 850x, Vac 30/30 MK2 and audio physics virgo speakers my wife requests that I integrate this primary system and secondary home theater into an Ipad controlled whole house music venue. I am considering using the BLUESOUND Vault and multiple Nodes to accoplish this task. I would use the amplified vault with the entire cd collection in a room currently without music with a pair of speakers. Utilizing the optical conection I would feed my primary system using a Bluesound Node into the Wadia DAC and another node into home theater receiver. Any concerns or comments regarding this type of setup would be appreciated. The Vault costs 1k and each Node $500. What would you recomend for the glass optical cable into the Wadia. In the owners manual Wadia recomends using their brand of optical cable but this was 15-20 years ago and I am not sure they still manufacture them. Thank you in advance.

The Bluesound is just one possible solution for network music.

I currently have the Lumin music streamer and it is amazing, you could easily upgrade the sound of your digital in a big way by swapping the Wadia for the Lumin. You can store all your cd's on a NAS and then play the files in any room you want via a DLNA/UPNP streaming device.

For the room without anything you can use a Naim Uniqute which is really fantastic. In this way you can have an app to control either device.
