dBpoweramp, and I suppose other rippers, offers a choice of compression applied in FLAC. The default is set in the middle at "5". Any ideas what level of compression we should use?

Hi, A friend of mine brought me The Capitol Edition of the Beatles CDs from US and now I'm wondering how to tag them best - it is a set of two boxes - Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 - each containing 4 CDs and these have their own album names. So, I'd like to have...

I did some more detailed listening comparisons using the Evo with the rechargeable lithium battery (Supplied by Purite Audio)and the Maplin 9v linear power supply. I was surprised by the differences.When using the lithium battery the sound was open...

So the homepage highresaudio is finally up and running, not much to purchase for the moment, but we will have to see how it evolves. Anyway a good thing to be able to purchase high def files

I just picked up my unitiserve. Its hooked up, powered on, and connected via ethernet through my airport extreme.I also have the nserve app, which reads my unitiserve.I want to access through the web browser option, but when I type in my unitiserve...

Can anybody summarize or point me to a link describing the various hardware incarnations of the HDX and the significnace of these hardware revisions?  My understanding is that the 2009 2x400GB version was updated to a 2x500gb version in 2010 and...

In this months Hi-Fi News (March 2011) - an interesting read. James

Due to be unveiled at the Bristol Show. Will be interesting to see how this compares to the NDX.

I’m installing a couple of 25m lengths of CAT6 cable from my router into the loft, then down to the HIFI. If I have say 5m spare, is there any problem in coiling it up. I know coiling speaker cable is not recommended but does the same apply to CAT6.

I've been doing some tests with my new Mac/Dac with a Qnap NAS. I've found that rips and playback sound better (sweeter treble, cleaner sound, improved bass depth) when on wireless connection than on wired (CATA5). Does CATA5 quality differ in sound quality by length of cable or brand? I have to admit my CATA5 cable was very cheap (unbranded £6 for 20m !). Is there a cable anyone would recommend or does wireless sound better if the network connecting is strong? Thanks

Well after my motherboard on my PC died, which was 3 years old and on for 24/7 I decided to buy a Mini Mac as a replacement. Nice piece of kit I must admit, the digital out doesn't really compete with my good old PC though (ESI Juli@) - so I am...

Whilst I'm fiddling with the latest incarnation of my music server - anyone out there use a RipNAS? Tog

I've just noticed that there's now a 1TB variant available - does that mean that the 2 x 500GB has disappeared for good?

Another question which will doubtless appear dim to you IT pros, but why/how did my NAS change its IP address when it was forced to do a hard re-boot when I pulled its mains plug in error? Caused me minor problems because my streamer couldn't see it...

Connecting NAS to Sonos I intend connecting a Sonos ZP90 to my router with a CAT6 cable. The instruction manual does not indicate how a NAS is connected. It shows a PC and a ZP90 connected to the router. Is the NAS drive simply connected to...

Available from: http://www.paulmccartney.com/bandontherun/ 2.6 GB of WAV files. Buy from the US site, $19.99, rather than the UK, £19.99. Listening as I type. M

Naim tell me the UnityQute does not support Apple Lossless.  So which is the best ripping format?  I have Apple Lossless, MP3, AAC and AIFF offered by the iTunes software on my iMac.  Leaving aside both Apple Lossless and MP3, Apple...

I have a question for all those out there. I am looking for a music management/labelling program for mac (other than itunes), to help me organize my downloaded media (Flac and AIFF). Having some issues with file (artist/song/album), labelling, and...

I'm wondering why we can't  download purchased music in WAV, FLAC, etc.  I like to purchase some of my music via download but don't like the inferiority of MP3.  I'd even be willing to pay a little extra to get it in WAV.

Hi All, I wonder if it would be technically possible to have a loudness capability on n-stream apps working together with a the naimuniti. I assume not but appreciate your input

Greetings. I'm seeking opinion and advise: Bought the Qute 2wks ago, replacing my old multi-box-system. OLD Setup (all wired, using good digi./anal. cables): NAS -> External DAC -> Nait 5i -> Virgo II   NEW Setup (wireless via...

I do not know if this question has already been done before. I've searched but have not found it. Sorry if so. I have read different opinions on the subject. Apparently, some DAC are more sensitive than others to the quality of the USB cable (correct...

Knowing that a NS01 is simply a simplified HDX, is it possible to do the upgrade/conversion of a NS01 to an NS01 SSD? In a perfect world, i would like to upgrade it to a NS01 NDX, that works on the Naimnet/Netstreams system. This as I store all the...

I saw there is new software for the Uniti, a friend has one and doesn't know how to upgrade.  I told him to get the serial # and call the dealer I took him to.  Does it come in a CD?  He asks me technical questions and yet won't get on...
