After reading the review of the NAD C565BEE, I was wondering whether the feature highlighted in it, namely the USB input was a recent development only on high end players or whether there are other machines on the market which the same facility but not that price tag.
I am using the WD HD Media player with 1 Tb drive as a ‘jukebox’ connected to an amp and TV which is hardly a hi-fi experience but is more for convenience for someone with too many audio files and a sizeable CD collection too. Clearly the upside of the WD HD is price and that it plays mp3s, flacs and oggs, etc. leaving aside is AV capabilities.
So is there a solution that steps up from this and avails of what one would assume superior DAC performance from and convenience of the NAD ?
