    Luxman DA06 connectivity (via USB digital in) question

    Dear All, I have a Luxman DA06 DAC, and would like to ask your help on a question. According to the Luxman website (http://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=11), the DA06 can take USB digital in for decoding. May I ask if this USB digital in is limited to signal from a computer, or could...

    Upgrade options from Cambridge Audio Stream Magic v2?

    I bought my Cambridge Audio Stream Magic v2 about 9 months ago and am looking for an upgrade which gives higher resolution of orchestral music. Since I bought the SM v2, CA has released the Azur 851N which seems to use a different DAC chip. I have thought about buying a good DAC with USB...

    What do I need?

    Thank you for your quick reply! Since the speakers of my work computer aren't of too good quality, I was thinking whether something like the Sonos would serve my need. But to be honest, I still can't figure out how Sonos work, as all the marketing literature emphasizes it as a multi-room system...

    Office access of NAS music library at home?

    I am thinking of setting up a NAS music library at home containing all my FLAC files. I will use a streamer to play those files on my home hi fi system. But I also wish to be able to access my NAS music library at work. What would I need to be able to play from that NAS library, via the...

    CD/Streamer combined

    Hi All Does anyone know which manufacturer(s) make a combined CD player+streamer which contains an optical output for connecting to a stand-alone DAC (which will need to work for both CD player digital signal or streaming digital signal)? I was hoping to buy the Arcam CDS27 but just found out...

    Marantz NA8005 + Synology NAS or DAC + Synology NAS?

    Hello All I am trying to work out what I should be getting for the computer-source/decoding part of my Hi Fi setup. The rest of my setup should make up of the Luxman 507uX amp + ATC SCM-11 speakers. I am still debating whether I am going to get a CD player. But I am quite sure that I would want...

    Network Music Player without DAC?

    They will be placed in an NAS. Basically, all I need is a device that does 3 things: (a) fetch the music files (FLAC or WAV) from the NAS (Ethernet/Wifi); (b) provide an interface for me to choose songs (preferably either on a TV or on an App); and (c) deliver the music data to an external...

    Network Music Player without DAC?

    Does anyone know if there are good Network Music Players on the market (that does streaming from NAS etc) but without in-built DAC (so that I can buy a dedicated, and perhaps more decent, DAC)? Is what I am thinking of going to improve the sound than just buying an all-in-one streamer/DAC like...

    Marantz CD6005 + NA8005 (DAC question)

    Hello all, I am thinking of buying the Marantz CD6005 CD player and hoping to link it to the DAC of the NA8005 network music player (which does not have a CD player). However, the specifications for the DAC for these two units are both shown as "Multi-bit delta Sigma". Does it mean that the DAC...

    ATC SCM11 integrated amplifier/all-in-one choice?

    In my quest to find a good amp for the ATC SCM11, I had a demo of the speakers with these integrated amps in a shop today: (a) Naim 5si (60W p/c); (b) ATC SIACD (100W p/c) and (c) Luxman L-507uX (110W p/c). The sound of the Luxman 507uX was simply beautiful, much more refined than the ATC SIACD...
