Qute/AIFF Clarification Required

Posted by: MyNewNaim on 28 September 2012

Hello. I recently ordered a Qute 24/96 and while awaiting delivery I have discovered some confusion about what it will and will not stream wirelessly. I would appreciate any absolute clarification as to the Qute's ability to stream AIFF wirelessly from a Mac Mini via iTunes.

 

My files are in Apple Lossless format right now and making the switch to AIFF within iTunes is fairly easy, but if the Qute cannot do it, then I may cancel the order and wait for the UnitiLite.

Just transcode everything to wav.  Problem solved.

Absolutely - even better with a Dac V1

 

Alternatively - Minimserver is an excellent UPnP server for a Mac and works very well with Naim streamers.

Are you trying to bring back Guido ? Hope it works.

I miss Guido, too.  Wat can we do to coax him out of recovery retirement?

Praise the virtues of The Eagles, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, U2, and Boston? 

 

Apologies to the OP, Jan-Erik started it
