How are you connecting Qobuz to your Naim?

Posted by: Simon-in-Suffolk on 10 May 2014

I have been very impressed with the lossless FLAC streaming on the Qobuz HiFi service. On my non Naim systems it sounds great. However connecting to my Naim has not been quite as good an an experience, other than perhaps when connecting my iPad running the Qobuz app into the Apple USB input on the Naim DAC, and this isn't really practical.

I have used AirPlay into AppleTV into the Naim DAC or NDX but that sounds less good than the direct iPad connection.

So what to do?

I was wondering whether a Sonos Connect feeding SPDIF into the DAC might be better?

Hence interested in people's experiences here if there are any?

Thanks I will look into this. It very annoying that's its so hard to stream this music to my naim. I have a Sonos play in my office and its easy to set up and play.
