Can NDX/n-stream control SN Volume?

Posted by: davea on 27 December 2010

Hi,
Been away for some time, but finding it hard to resist the temptation of the NDX (when it arrives)!

I am slightly confused on control apps though...

Current system it SqueezeBox Transporter feeding SuperNait DAC (ie digital input). (OK, I have polluted my system with Logitech, but I wanted to move to streaming when Naim digits were still confined within the CD player.)

I like the ability to control the system either from PC (Squeezebox Server) or outside line of sight (eg Duet Controller, but I currently use a Nokia N800 Tablet). Only thing I have never mastered is to control the SNait in this way, though I realise there must be a techie solution using RS232 or the RC5 input.

So, question is for a NDX -> SuperNait solution controlled by n-Stream/iPad/iTouch, can n-Stream also give control of the SN volume? I assume this must be the case from the NDX spec statement "Wired remote out for preamplifier volume control".

Could be a killer blow to my bank account if this is available when NDX is released. More importantly it might be the final hurdle which allows me to ditch the Logitech and move back to Naim.

Thanks for any advice.
Dave

You will be very satisfied with the result then..yes the App can control the Supernait via RC5 out from the NDX.

does this mean that a similar route is possible for hdx to control volume on a pre amp?

that would be great
