    Replacing Naim Nait 5i with Powernode

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge! All you say makes a lot of sense. I have tried to Google the streamer solution you suggest but it seems to not be an "all-in-one plug n play" device. But it sounds interesting and I'll try and read more about it. Thank again...

    Replacing Naim Nait 5i with Powernode

    Thank you for taking the time to reply! Unfortunately where I am (Spain) there is not a big second hand market for such things (at least not a reliable one anyway...). I will check out the model you suggested :)

    Replacing Naim Nait 5i with Powernode

    Thank you for your reply - much appreciated! So in your opinion, there is less risk in losing the sound we love by adding the Node vs. going the Powenode route. That's a very valuable feedback, one that I hadn't considered. As for the banana plugs, not sure why they haven't told us about that...

    Question New amp and/or streamer - help most appreciated

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, and suggestions! Most helpful! I was myself afraid that switching from Naim to the Marantz would not give us the same in musical quality but more in terms of digital connectivity. And so good to get a thumbs up for the Bluesound Node! I shall go check...

    Question New amp and/or streamer - help most appreciated

    Thank you for taking the time to reply! We are in Spain, so we have pretty much all the models and makes. Or we order from, say, Germany. How do you see the Marantz PM7000N replacing the Naim Nait 5i? We find the Naim and the KEF speakers we have such a good match for our ears (we tested in...
