Naim Qb a Win Win Situation!!

Posted by: wenger2015 on 09 September 2017

Just purchased a Qb, it was all set up very easily.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised at just how good it sounds. 

SWMBO.... also seems hugely impressed....So I have earned a few brownie points........ plus I have just noticed if a Qb  is purchased between September 1st and 2nd October, you can claim £50 cash back from Naim, and more if you purchase a Muso.

So if anyone is thinking of making a purchase, nows a very good time.

Nigel.

Of course it’s advisable, where’s your sense of adventure.

I was contemplating removing my mojo from my main system, moving it to my projector room, connecting a SB Touch to the input and a pair of active speakers to the outputs.   

If the Qb could be used instead of the active speakers, the sound quality would obviously be better, with the added flexibility of positioning only one speaker.

Qb is an awesome bit of kit. Price/performance is unparalleled (imo). Wife loves it to bits - it's located in her domain. With a Spotify premium subscription, the world is her oyster! Happy wife Happy life - what's not to like ��

The analogue in is a standard 3,5 jack like what is used on most headphones. But you need a way to get music into the dac, it seems to complicate things a lot going from one to 2 boxes and then needeing a signal into the dac?

At one point ROON integration was mentioned?  Is this still happening?

Can two QB's be paired for right left stereo?

No

It's worth remembering that the analogue input has to be converted to digital within the Mu-So - that's how the DSP works...

I believe it was an option that may become available for the new streaming platform, not for existing products.

Thanks Richard, that’s clarifies things.

Even so, I’d be surprised if inserting a Mojo before the Qb didn’t result in a significant improvement.
