Pretty Clueless...

Posted by: ianrobertm on 02 June 2015

I currently have a early CDX2 - and love it...    But I am considering moving in Streaming. I have known of the HDX for ages and understand its a 'Stand Alone' solution having storage built in. Hmm.. Or there is the NDX, which is newer, and needs a NAS or similar to talk to for its storage, which seems more flexible..?

 

I can power either of these, AFAIK, as I have an XPS - and I think either would 'match' pretty well with my 82/HC/HC/250 set up.

 

Opinions pls.... Hopefully helpful. Skipping the ones about talk to your dealer and book a dem, pls.

 

Eye Thang Yew.

Sorry to hear that.   My advice:   If it's at all possible keep things friendly and keep the solicitors at bay,  otherwise it could easily end up costing you in excess of a fully active 500 system !

+1 been through this myself. Best advice i was ever given is bite your pride and remember its only money. Especially if kids are involved. Life exists on the other side.

Yup. Money... Its a Gas.... As Pink Floyd said.

 

Current guestimate of my ultimate solicitors costs are... in Naim Units (new) - an HDX...!

Current actual solicitors cost is about a HiCap....!

This month is 'free' - my solicitor doesn't bill if its less than £100.....

Her rate is £165 per hour - !!  My wife is paying £200..... Oh dear...!

If you like your current pre/amp I would have no doubts: Buy an NDX (to use with your XPS) and a 2bay Qnap NAS (to act as a storage for your files and to act as a server with the minimserver software). To rip your CD's buy the ripping software from DBpoweramp for your Windows PC and live very happy: NDX+XPS is one of the finest streaming solutions on the market (SQwise).

 

Naturally in this equation the XPS is not strictly necessary: I have the bare NDX and I'm very happy.
