    Needing a new non CDP source, advice please?

    Hey ya, yes sorry the amp is the Nait 5i-2, and my speakers are Naim Arivas - older speakers now but still do a decent job. The price of 400 is about what I want to spend so I will look into if I can get that here in NZ. Would the Chord be better then the Audiolab Dac with my system? Thankyou.

    Thanks for that. The Fiio X3/X5 don't appear to be overly user friendly but good reviews on SQ. I'm guessing using a Astell & Kern Jr would sound worse then the Fiio a home stereo as it would have to be thru the headphone out?

    Hey all, My ipod Nano recently broke, and Im wanting to get a replacement of some sort. As well as using it out and about, I'm wanting one with line outs so I can connect it to my Hi Fi system at home as a source. From what I can gather, the new Nanos don't have the line out any more?
