HI Out There
I was looking at the NAIM HDX and was thinking, surely there must a cheaper way but just as efficient, without spending a bomb, to get HIFI quality music.
So, the question is, how can you rip CDs at CD quality, and without connecting to a PC as a server, use the storage device and connect it to the DAC and amp, to get a convenient HIFI quality music? Imagine all your music on one device and selecting what you want to hear without the hassle changing disc when you want variety.
I have read possible solutions but they all involve using the storage device connected to a PC/MAC, which is not optimal to keep the PC/MAC running all the time.I have looked at the Buffalo Terastation and the AVA RS3 devices, al great but need a PC to act as a server.
The NAIM HDX service offer is very good, but surely there are cheaper solutions. Any ideas anyone?
