NAC-272 & Uniti CORE connections

Phil at Naim customer service recommended UPnP/Ethernet vs. SPDIF. My ears agree!

With a NAC-N272 you'd be best connecting the Core via your wired Network.  For best performance you should consider a dedicated switch (see one of a number of threads on this in the Streaming Audio room).

Recommend and comment on best method for connecting the NAC 272 PreAmp/Streamer to the Uniti CORE for best audio sound. Right now I've connected via direct good quality ethernet cable.  Interested in feedback on direct digital connection.....

Cheers!

Seeing you have both, why not try and report the difference, to contribute to the increasing understanding of how good the Core is in its rendered output?

It more reflects the limitations of S/Pdif as a transport protocol.
