I want a new computer based system based around the NDAC feeding into a 82/HiCap/250.2/Spendor S6e. RipNAS & Sonos look good and easy but what other alternatives should I be thinking about ? Sound quality is very important, but so is ease of use.

Can someone help me with error correction on itunes? I was advised that it should be off, so I have ripped a number of cd's to apple lossless with it off. The general advice on this forum though is for error correction to be on. I presume that unless...

Serious question. Have Naim scored an own goal? Using a cheap PC and optical to DAC on it's own is such a massive boost over my old CDS1 it just isn't funny and a mate is selling his CDS3 head end as the PC/DAC/XPS is as close as you could get to a...

Apologies for what is a basic question, but the more I try to read up on computer audio the more confused I get. I'm currently experimenting with a mac mini into a Cambridge Audio dac, using iTunes. I'm very happy with the iTunes interface and...

Hi All, I posted this on the hi fi corner forum, but was pointed over to this forum as more likely to be able to help - so here I am!I've just ordered a DAC after comparing a CD5XS through it with a USB stick and prefering the USB stick. I've just...

Does anybody know how to change the genre assigned for a selection of music? It seems to work well when the music selected is on the HDX drive, not so when the music is on NAS.

I use Foobar with HiFace under Windows 7.When I run it through DS it works just fine.Unfortunately when playing hi-res through DS my nDAC shows no HD light which I believe means that Foobar/DS downsample the data to 16/44.Any ideas?When I run it...

Good news for Linn DS owners: a software update for all DS products makes internet radio possible.I wonder if - and when! - this will become available for the HDX and HDX SSD!Any thoughts?Regards,Michel

Can someone please tell me the best media player software to use with a PC (Windows 7) and Naim DAC? The latest version of Nero comes with Nero Media Hub but I figured that there might be a better standalone app.Thanks
