Apologies if this has been discussed before but; How do I create a MP3 copies of the ripped WAV files on my Unitiserve? Do naim publish any instructions - I can't find anything. I would like to create a parallel MP3 library that I can transfer to...

Two questions if I may. My computer and its peripherals all go through a surge protected trailing lead socket.  Should I connect my Qute through the surge protector too or is it OK straight into the wall? Second, I'm thinking of trying...

Maybe this is a heretical question on this forum, I don't know. What is Naim's position on DSD, does anyone know?  Has anyone experimented yet with DSD to PCM conversion to experiment with sound quality and etc? I know you can get a DSD...

Hi! I'm just wondering how the quality of the V1 DAC via a USB/SPDIF source and then onto a NAP 250.2 would compare to the NAC-N 172 XS via S/PDIF and then onto a NAP 250.2 ?. Audio would be played back via a MAC with standard FLAC...
