I bought the Akurate DS as demo ($5,500), normally $7,500 I think retail, the NAS w/ 3TB drive was about $350, the iPad was $350. Router is just a std. wireless router I already had setup. You do not even really "need" a separate NAS... you could put the music files on your main PC, however that PC would have to be on in order to access the music when you want to listen. That is why I wanted a "dedicated" NAS setup.
The dealer in AZ is L&M Home Entertainment.
And I agree that a person just wanting to "dabble" with a discless setup and someone not wanting to get rid of their CD collection yet should not drop a ton of coin into it. This setup of mine was to replace my CD player and CD collection of around 750 CD's.
Setup was done by my LINN dealer, but once I saw it done, it is not complicated.
