Many thanks for the replies guys much appreciated. I will check those out. Cheers

Morning All, can anyone point me in the direction of a dealer or website that they have used to buy preowned hifi equipment. Maybe specialised in Hegel if at all possible. Many Thanks

Morning, I've been playing around with upsampling for a while now and I'm still not convinced of the sonic benefits. I've been using the CXNv2 with analogue outs where everything is upsampled throught the dual wolfson WM8740 dacs to 24/384. I've also been using Roon to upsample straight to my...

Thanks for looking much appreciated. Just got in from work, installed foobar and the plug in. Whilst you can interact with single album covers there is no ability to swipe left to right. Cheers

Hi All, Added a PC into my all digital system and now controlling it via a touchscreen monitor in the livingroom. Currently using J River in Theatre Mode and it works ok. Tried Itunes 10.7 coverflow and it does not repond to touch. Does anyone know in the chronflow plugin responds to touch...

Thanks for your opinion.

Morning, I've decided to sell my Eris E5 studio monitors and iOne interface that I have been using on my desktop for a while. They were fine at the time but need something more musical as i'm doing a bit more listening at my desk. I have a Topping desktop amp/dac combo 40wpc that i'm now...

Hi CoyoteKG, the Linton's are a fantastic sounding speaker. I've never heard them with any Naim gear but I have with several other amps. Don't think I'd ever describe them as dark tho. Their strength is their musicality and midrange. Absolutely beautiful vocals and strong base for their size. If...

I'm leaning toward letting the CXA81 do the conversion. Sounds a little cleaner and sharper. I feel everything that comes from the upsampling to sound the same. Sounds strange I know but it sounds all warm and smooth IMHO, regardless if the recording has a bit of bite in it. It may just come...

Found the answer to one of my questions. If anyone else is interested the default USB profile is 1 and limited to 96. You can change the profile to 2 in the software and that changes the limit to 192...

Cheers jjbomber, is your hdd USB powered and do you just leave it plugged in all the time. I have a 6tb drive and was going to go all wav, just to remove another step of decompression from the path.

Hi Bill, thanks for the response. I understand all about file types. Alac is common to all my hifi gear that's why I use it. It is no longer Apple only and was made open source years ago. Playback quality can be effected by system overheads. And while I understand a powerful PC can decompress...

Morning, My system is fully digital, CD, Downloads and Qobuz Streaming. Due to the fact that the CA Stream Magic app can't and doesn't play well with Windows 10 DNLA server. I mean I see all my albums but when it comes to playback it sorts them alphabetically rather than track number (I believe...

I'm toying with a very similar conundrum. I have all 3, CXA81, CXC and CXNv2. All the digital inputs on the CXNv2 upsample to 32/384. You cannot change this, its automatic. I've read all sorts from the up sampling process creating artifacts to it smoothing out the curve to make the sound more...

Looks so much more classier than I thought they would. The online photos do not do them justice. A nice early morning ambient listening session. Be rude not too!
