I had to make a similar choice last week. My old setup was an Arcam A28 analog amplifier, paired with a Sonos Connect and an Arcam rDAC. I was thinking of the new Radia series, but I ended up with a Arcam SA30 which is brilliant and on sale over here (€1999,-). It combines a 120W class G...

I always hesitate buying brand new products for issues like this. I asked Arcam for product manuals from the new Radia series, but no answer yet. I think about replacing my Arcam A28 amp and Sonos Connect with external DAC, since I want to reduce the amount of components.

Never realized this is streamer related. I can imagine that older streamers like my 1st generation Sonos Connect haven’t got enough memory anymore.

My current system (2010) consist of Monitor Audio RX6, Arcam A28, Sonos Connect + Arcam rDAC. The Sonos connect is 1st generation and causing more and more streaming issues. Same is true for the rDAC . Another thing is I want to connect my TV in a more easy way. My only 2nd generation Sonos One...

I don’t know which site claims this, but you can’t control volume using optical or coax connections. You need HDMI/arc for that. Several NAD units support that, the most simple one is D3045 I believe. I don’t know what settings can be made in the c338, but it doesn’t support BluOS App which...

I thought my new RX6's had a great Woman Acceptance Factor... now Clare finds them somewhat undiscreet To me, the RX6 is one the best smaller sized floorstander available, with an unmatched build quality in this price range. The radius 270 is considerably taller, the RX6 is however somewhat...

Well I could have started a new topic "From Marantz to Arcam in 14 days" . I explained above, that I preferred a one brand solution for the electronics for my new first "real" HiFi system. At that moment I never realised it would be that difficult. In the past few years I have been...

Interesting topic.... I will start using the Sonos (supports Flac), with an external DAC. What kind of software are you using for ripping and are there any settings to pay attention too? Currently I have a limitted numer of albums in Tunes, but thats not lossless. Any advise is welcome Regards

I have it. It's a very usefull issue for someone like me, who is after a complete new HiFi system, while not having the latest knowledge about what is availble for the money I wan't to spend. I am in doubt of the NA7004. It seems a very capable system (it received 4 stars) with an impressive...

I consider these amplifiers for use with RX6. The PM6003 is praised, but from the new more powerfull PM7004 litle is known [H] Regards

Does a NaimUniti support Spotify, directly?

Serenity: Today, if funds did allow, I'd have a long and difficult process to identify the best fit for me. I just hope my setup will last my life-time. Because if it goes Bang/Bust in a few years time, I'll be too senile to catch up to the latest current trend. Serenity You are right...

Clare Newsome: On sale now The review won't go online for a while yet... But that is great! I saw your magazine here in a (Bruna) Shop in Holland a few weeks ago, it's not in every bookshop. I will have a look if the November iseu is available, and purshase myself a legal version I hope my...

According to an Australian website, the NA7004 gets reviewed in november 2010 by WhatHifi. Is that true? I am considering this unit, instead of a Sonos device for my new setup. On paper it's a brilliant machine, but what do the experts say....

I wonder if Denon and Marantz will support Spotify on their units eg. Marantz with their NA7004? Napster, vTune and Rhapsody are quite common, but not Spotify Regards
