Do Streaming transport make better sense?

If I was starting from scratch, I would go with this:

CI-Uniti 102 - Streamer Amplifier | Naim Audio

The CI-Uniti 102 is a versatile streamer-amplifier that seamlessly blends into your living space.It delivers exceptional audio experience through Focal integrated speakers and can transform audio from all media sources.

Funny now that you mentioned it, the "I" after C disappears into the background 😂

The Eversolo T8 is a good example of what can be achieved with a DACless streamer

We received our new T8 today 🙂

Nice 👍
I recall a few years ago, AliExpress was possibly the only place, you can order your Eversolo.
Funny how things have changed, many UK dealership have them, so you can buy with confidence.
Shanling and Cayin still need to make their impact in the UK, mind you it's just a matter of time.

Huffy had gone gooey over Cayin Soul valve integrated product. 😊

Cost?

A 150W per channel Naim Amplifier? With streaming smarts? £1,299 for cash! Dirt cheap.

It’s a Hypex module design, isn’t it? Thrifty.

indeed, I however, cannot stand something that has no physical controls and needs an app on something else to run it.
No wonder it's cheap.....

It’s meant for a cupboard, and a professional instal I believe.

That's what I thought.......
it's unlikely to replace my current amp then.

I know you're old Al, but this has been happening for years and Ears. Heos from Marantz, Naim's UnitiServe and UnitiCore, Wiim, etc. The majority these days use an app as a remote control. Even things like the Eversolo, with it's huge screen, is easier on the app. Welcome to the 21st Century!

Me, I still like a volume knob, and yes I hate modern cars too when you cannot access climate control without going through a menu system..... Safety? my behind....

Thinking of starting a "bring back knobs" campaign .....
PS: I love the idea of manufacturing something that will not function without you owning something manufactured by someone else.... Classic!

Best thing about Linn Selekt DSM is the massive volume control on the top 😎
