Is this naim better than the BO a9 or Bose kit?

Any other good decent sounding kits.

It will replace my old kit, arcam pre and power amps, bi amped.. maranta ki signature CD player and b&w 505 speakers, plus Stax electrostatic headphones- so sound is absolute paramount.

Thanks

My friend has the B&O A9 mk1, and I've heard it and he's heard mine, but we live about 250 miles apart so have never listened to them side by side. My friend isn't particularly tech savvy, but says the A9 can't play FLAC nor can it stream internet radio or be linked to a NAS, but I don't know how much credence to give to what he says.
