Unitiserve as a player Vs ND5

Posted by: gedh on 30 November 2011

If I wanted as digital player to be controlled via iPad is the Unitiserve a good player or is the ND5 so far in advance that I should keep my current NAS and unPnP server and sepnd money on the ND5 - or is the Unitiserve 90% as good so get server and player for the same money?

I don't need the extra DAC facilities of the ND5, don't need a front panel as kit is in a cupboard -just looking at the streaming player abilities.

Thoughts?

cheers

That depends on what DAC you will use with the Unitiserve ?

Personally i'd keep the UPnP setup and add the ND5XS. The Unitiserve is rather expensive for what it does and bang for buck (if you like the ND5XS sound over the Rega DAC) the ND5XS will give you more than the Unitserve will.
