Hi there, my first post so treat me gently!

Currently my system comprices of 200/203 into Naim 62/140 with Shahinian Arcs, ok its a bit flat earthy but I like it. However...

I have some other digital sources, DVD, DAB and an analogue source (Sky) that I would like to route through the system and have a pre-amp with a remote control!

I was thinking of going along the lines of replacing the 62 and its associated power supply with a 518, and putting the 203 after the 518 and before the Power Amp.

Some Questions

1) The 518 from the handbook will give me a volume control and so I belive this would work. Correct?

2) Could I use a 562 instead. the handbook for a 562 or 562V implies that it doesn't have a volume control, is this right?

3) What other variations of early(ish) 500 equipment could I use and how much should I expect to pay for them?

4) Does anyone know how the Arcs will work with a Meridian Power Amp? Any users here?

Thanks in advance for your help
