Uniti Qute Trials

Hi Nick

Advanced search is not so advanced ... I wonder if it were this

All the best, Guy 

Nick did you ever report on a comparison of CD5 with and w/o nDAC?

We had listened to several hours of music on the CD5 XS as is, and when I connected it to the nDAC we were immediately impressed with the difference.

Hi Nick

That wasn't me. I've got my UQ wired. It is about a yard away from my Juniper router which gives me network access. I use a Sonus bridge and Wired 4 Sound Sonus ZP90 to feed my Naim DAC for my main system: that's wireless (between Bridge and ZP90) - that is out necessity rather than preference, as my house is not wired beyond my home office, 

My Juniper firewall/IPS/router/switch has a Sonus Bridge, Apple Airport Extreme for iPad and ATV and laptop access, my Apple music server, Vortexbox and Naim UQ. The UQ is the only network aware kit I have from Naim (I doubt that will change any time soon as I like the Sonus interface and the sheer versatility of the Vortexbox - the NDX etc are not for me: too expensive). 

The VB feeds the UQ through Ethernet. The Apple music server via MF V-Link to S/PDIF. I'm very unsure which method gives the best results. I prefer the iTunes interface, but the VB is so quiet. True the Apple in an antique by computer standards. 

I have almost no hi-res music, but can always use a USB stock to play it in my Naim DAC. 

I do remember another poster preferred wireless, but can't remember who it was. 

All the best, Guy

I think I munged together my memory of your comments re UPnP streaming with the other thread.  I will update the thread you referenced after the demo tonight.

Thanks again.
