Guys, just after a quick opinion.
Me and the wife yesterday listened to the Naim CD5i / Naim Nait 5i amp and Focal Chorus 714's at the local dealer. Very impressed and we're going back wednesday to try the Niam Nait XS amp with the same speakers. (which i fully expect to be purchasing!)
My slight concern is that i won't be getting the CDP as i've moved to streaming ALAC files through an Airport Express. I'm looking at the DacMagic (or Beresford) DAC's. The dealer can't stream all he has in my budget is the Chordette Gem, which i'm not really interested in.
I guess my question is do you think the DacMagic would be on par with the audition we've heard, and do you think it would do the Nait XS / Focal setup the justice they deserve?
Cheers
Rob
