Must be about time the magazine reviewed the Magico Mini II ...

Not confirmed yet (am getting in kids' way), but think so yes.

Now if only I could get the CD drawer open...

JohnDuncan:Now if only I could get the CD drawer open...Transit screw(s)?

 

[John Duncan]

Yup, found it!

 

[Messiah]

JohnDuncan:I'd love to have put a pair of AVIs on the end of a Naim, if only for irony purposes.

Would have been interesting!

 

[Andrew Everard]

JohnDuncan:Yup, found it!

See, I told you you needed to download the manual...

JohnDuncan:

Which is a shame, because I'd love to have put a pair of AVIs on the end of a Naim, if only for irony purposes.

If we get around to having a "post of the year" award, this is a top five contender. If only Ash could present the award...

Aaaaaaaaanyway, first impressions (based on barely an hour's listening, before being chucked out of the house because of a girl's night in): internet radio a bit thin, CD replay a bit fat, spotify via airfoil and airport express into the DAC - absolutely bl00dy fantastic

It's a Naim. It's been factory refurbed. Give it a month...

 

[John Duncan]

Andrew Everard:Give it a month...

...before I lose the CD puck? I give it three days.

EDIT - but if I have to keep it for a month...

 

[Andy Clough]

Long-term test I'd say, John

 

[John Duncan]

Andy Clough:Long-term test I'd say, John

Oh dear (etc)

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear...

Sounds like a bit of a "dead Heron".

 

[John Duncan]

(whoosh)

 

[plastic penguin]

JohnDuncan:(whoosh)

To be frank, I've not heard any DAB or internet radio that isn't thin sounding.

 

[John Duncan]

Oh I have, lots of times. But Radio 2 tonight wasn't one of those times

 

[plastic penguin]

JohnDuncan:Oh I have, lots of times. But Radio 2 tonight wasn't one of those times

Please do tell...

 

[John Duncan]

Um...Radio 2 sounded a bit thin, that's all. Speech on Radio 4 was as thick and chocolatey as Joel could ask for.

So now I'm up at five for reasons I won't go into, and I got the Eyeconnect uPnP server running in a matter of seconds, but will it transcode Apple Lossless to WAV on the fly so the Uniti can play it? Will it hell. Seems there's an issue with some versions of Eyeconnect that don't work, and I can't yet find a download of the version that does...

Well john if you had bought the new guitar then you wouldn,t be up at five to play it, you would have played it right through five instead

Well maybe not, time you change the strings, adjust the trust rod, proper intonation etc etc, ok nothing to do woth hi-fi, i,ll shut up now

"So now I'm up at five for reasons I won't go into"

John, get some sleep man! We need you back in the office soon...

 

[John Duncan]

I didn't just think to myself at 5am "ooo I wonder if I can get a uPnP server working"...
