I don't care if there is a Blu-ray drive built in or not for I already have an external one that didn't cost a fortune. What I would like is for Apple or some third party to release some proper software support for Blu-ray films, in particular...

I am just now realizing that when I see the DLNA player icons on my TV, it means that I can probably stream video to it from my nas. Currently I play downloaded content or dvd rips from my Macbook Pro via Airplay to my Apple TV that is connected...

First time ever using a soldering rod today. How hard can it be.. Well, not too bad. I put naim pins on both end to very good effect. For some reason, the dealer put deltron on one end. Anyway, not a professional job, but already sounds way...

I have a couple of Sony Blu-ray (BDP-S780) players bought a couple of years ago and multi-region hacked via remote control by Sevenoaks Hi-Fi who I purchased from. As a rule I tend not to buy imported discs except where they offer something unique but for Christmas my wife ordered me the Blu-ray of my favourite film of the year - 'Before Midnight' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209418/ Unfortunately this wonderful film has only been released on DVD in the UK and so in order to obtain it in the...

My blessed n-Vi (never has any Naim item caused me so much grief) is at it again.  After a house move and three months in the box, popped it out and connected it up. Pressed the power button. Waited the obligatory 25 secs for the bar to...

I'm thinking of moving my Naim n-vi, Apple TV, Virgin Media Box and Sonos Connect to a cupboard in another room which is just behind the TV. I will be able to run video / speaker cables right through the wall behind the TV, but I would like a...

Other than the AV2, are there any recommendations for an AV processor to receive 7.1 surround (analogue) from my Oppo and pass it through to my power amps?  I don't want video switching, I don't want ipod stuff, wifi, internet radio, ipad apps,...

Hi I run an olive Naim system (82/2xHicap/250) in my main listening area, but in the kitchen I have two Sonos connect amps with two pairs of B&W ceiling speakers. Currently I have the optical out from a Samsung xxxxx television going into a small DAC to provide an analogue input for one of the Sonos amps. The DAC was supplied by the TV installer a couple of years ago with the Samsung. Frankly the sound from this arrangement is very poor, it's not in any way comparable to the Sonos...

I'm trying to educate myself in HT so forgive me for numerous (and often not smart) questions. Is it a case that Oppo 103 outputs "encoded" analogue signal and AV2 decodes it into 5.1 channels? Does AV2 improves on Oppo 103 variable analogue...

hi I've just purchased a supernait mk 1 and I am looking to integrate it into my av set up. I believe I can only use the av input for unity gain and then only via the din socket. I don't have any phono to din leads and I am looking in the short...

My Hifi is about 4m from the TV and BRP. I also have an Apple TV and, until recently, I had this sat near the TV and linked to it with a 1m HDMI lead. I then ran an optical lead from the TV to a Cambridge Dac which was adjacent to the Apple TV. I...

We've had our 37" Panasonic plasma TV & £200 Panasonic blu ray player now since 2005 and the boss wants something better. I can but oblige, so need some advice. I'll probably buy a 42" Panasonic TV with the best 2D picture we can find (3D makes our eyes go squiffy) for TV, but are mindful that a decent projector may be on the horizon, as the idea of a 6' wide screen is attractive to the boss. We also need a blu ray & DVD player to go with the TV (and be good enough for a decent...
