I have a thro' lounge diner measuring 7.5 mtrs x 4.25 mtrs wide. The area is split roughly 60/40 in favour of the lounge. The original dividing wall has now got a large arch between but the sides and ceiling are not continuous. The TV is located diagonally in the far corner next to the fireplace...

The NAC62 has the Naim MC board in it and I've never had a problem over the 30 years I've been using it. Richard

I'm not wanting to ditch the LP's but I would like to be able to play them via my iPad and Bose Soundlink when I'm in the garden or workshop and when we go travelling in our motorhome. Richard

Wondering what is the best way to digitise my LP collection. 1. Could buy replacement CD's but most look like they have been remastered and they will cost between £8 to £12 on average. Got about 50 albums and at least a third are doubles. 2. Buy a USB turntable say the Dual DT 210 at about...

BUMP! BUMP! Please help as I get notified about every new post and my email gets clogged up!!! Richard.

Unfortunately the DACmagic is quite dumb relying on wire or optical connections. The motorhome I’m quite well sorted as you say pairing it with my dashboard head unit plus I take the Bose. .I have also installed Plex on the NAS and my iPad. I’ve also ordered an optical Toslink to mini Toslink...

Can you bear with me guys as this is the first time I have tried using digital streaming and getting to grips with NAS, DAC, streamers and all the software is quite a challenge. Richard

But I already have the CCA and DACmagic, so isn’t it worth trying these before as you said ”If there is a way of spending money on more boxes and formats etc it just feels more , audiophile.“

Hi Guys, I've just found that I've got a Chromecast Audio when stripping down my hi-fi rack to clean it. Forgot all about it!!!!! Can I use this to stream from my NAS to my Naim? I can also take the output from the CCA and put it thro' the DACmagic. Would this provide any benefit? If so do I...

I'm a new member and I've appeared to have turned on receiving notifications for all new posts and responses when I set up my account. I want to receive notifications about my threads and posts but not everything which I've not added or responded to. How do I turn this off please? Richard

OK, say I go for an S10, I presume I still need to access the music files on the NAS via a smartphone/tablet/computer by Plex or similar. Whereas full blown streamers from Naim, NAD and Arcam have their own control system?

Please can we get back to my original question. BTW Jimboo, I don't buy whatever is the latest fad in hi-fi. I've not changed my music system for over 30 years. Richard

It‘s simple, the word is convenience. We have a motorhome so like to take our music with us. If we sit down to listen to music then it’s thro’ vinyl or CD but when it’s background say over a meal or for a party the ability to create a playlist Is brilliant. When the weather is good like it has...

I‘ve had the following analogue system for over 30 years and it has served me well. Rega 2 with Ortofon MC25E cartridge, Arcam Alpha plus CD, Naim NAC62/NAP140 playing into PRO9TLs. But it’s time to add a proper music streamer/DAC to the system. I currently have all my music ripped and stored...
