Advice required re: the N-Vi's picture resolution & DVD-Audio decoding resolution.
Posted by: vintageaxeman on 30 June 2018
A few questions about the Naim N-Vi.
1. I know that some DVD-Audio players which claim to be 96kHz actually only put out 48kHz data. Does anyone know definitively whether the N-Vi plays DVD-Audio discs at the full 96kHz, or whether it only plays (or even downsamples) to 48kHz? Thank you.
2. Can the N-Vi be used as a DAC by connecting an external digital device to one of its digital inputs? If so, what does the DAC decode the signal at? 48 or 96kHz, please?
3. Regarding screen resolution....The picture through my 1080 monitor seems to be grainy. I am therefore assuming that things are running at low resolution, but I'm not sure if it's the monitor's settings or the N-Vi's settings which may need changing. I did read an early review of the N-Vi which talked about a forthcoming optional upgrade being available which would raise the N-Vi's performance to 720 or 1080. How can I tell if my N-Vi has this capability installed, please?
Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
