New Naim DAC

Posted by: fixedwheel on 27 March 2009

Hi Folks

With the discussions starting after the Bristol show, the one question I have is what are you going to use it with?

Being new to Naim products I was initially unaware that Naim CD players do not have a digital out.

Having a look at manuals shows me that the HDX has digital out, piccies and specs of the NaimUniti shows it does not, and although the n-Vi does it isn't really targeted at a 2ch system that doesn't have a display. Smile

I use a Squeezebox 3 at the mo, the HDX wouldn't be on my list as the noise of the internal HDDs, although small, would annoy me.

Did anybody check whether the DAC has a digital out to go to a recorder? I still have a MiniDisc and CD-Recorder in my system.

Your comments on these queries would be appreciated.

Cheers

John

Yes. And as the HDX was announced a year ago, and was in development for some time before that it was by no means certaln.

Your question doesn't say whether you have looked at a HDX with the lid off. Have you, and if so can you confirm the drive interface?

That doesn't state an interface, only support and upgrades will be available in the medium term.

Can I ask, I vaguely remember seeing someone comment that the dac is now not due to next year. Has anyone heard anything?

Thanks
