NAD M51 wish PC based connectivity
This DAC really works for me. It soaks up the bits on the disc and presents them in a balanced and natural way that I hadn't heard in another DAC.
My goal was to get back into computer audio. My wife has a Macbook pro so with all the software packages for MAC audio I thought I would find one that really works and one that can utilize our idevices (IPAD, etc.)as a nice remote interface.
Problem with that idea is that I completely dislike iTunes. The way it tries to manage libraries has wasted so many hours of my life (not to mention my libraries) that I simply don't want to go there. The software packages (I tried, 4 of them) were not without there own set of issues. Some worked sort of, some just didn't sound right. I grabbed my work PC and loaded J-River. Wow, not that's a nice piece of software. Logical and easy to manage with many options it looked like the ticket. But I couldn't get it to work in a direct manner with the NAD. It'll play but its playback is inferior to streaming HDMI through my Oppo BDP-95 which has been stellar. I'm hopeful NAD or JRiver can fix this in an update soon.
Are there any other PC based packages that I'm missing with direct connectivity, USB based and a healthy remote app for the iDevices?
