Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Scott, I asked on the Wadia forum if you could download hi rez from the itunes store and play it through the Wadia170i/Ipod and this is what they said Quote "iTunes can play back 24/96 music, but you can not purchase lossless music, let alone hi r...

Okay, thanks guys. Sandra 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Hi JR, I really wanted to listen to the Bryston cdp or dac but didn't run into any in Seattle. I was only there for 2 days and had to keep a close watch on my time. I would like to hear the Naim dac with other equipment, it may sound completely d... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
I don't know if you're interested in just the Naim dac or not, but last weekend I spent 2 days in Seattle just listening to cd players and the one I liked the best was the Simaudio 300D dac for $1600. It was warm, rich, detailed, had excellent bas... 
Wadia ITransport
Hi Everyone, can you download high resolution music from the itunes store, such as 24/96 or higher and play it on the iPod through the Wadia? 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Hello all. Scott, when I demoed the Naim dac it was used with a Cambridge 840 cd player as the transport. I thought it was a very detailed open, airy sound, but again, was on the bright side. I listened to this combination for approx. 15-20 minute... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Scott, I will call the store tomorrow and find out what transport they were using. I have listened to Naim in the past and never heard any brightness, maybe the dac was too new or not broken in, I never really asked. Maybe the DeVore speakers were... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
JR, Thanks for your reply, now I understand. Scott, I can't believe I didn't get the transport they were using but all the other equipment was Naim. I have never heard the DeVores before but I am a firm believer in matching the right equipment to ... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Kbarkamian, when you hook up a dac or cd player to the Wadia iTransport via spdif, isn't it using the cd players dac or the dac itself even if using the iPod? I'm not exactly sure how the iTransport works, that's why I'm asking. Sandra 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
I just listened to it last weekend as I was very interested in it after reading a glowing review, but I didn't care for it. It was hooked up to Devore Super 8 speakers with a Supernait amp. I thought it was somewhat bright sounding, with a definit... 
A headache of choice over CD player
I just got back from Seattle after listening to CD players for 2 days. I listened to the Meridian 808.2, the McIntosh 301 and the MCD500, Audio Research CD8 and dac7, Ayre 5XE ad AyeQB9, Linn Klimax DS, new Naim dac, and Sim Audio 750D and Sim 300... 
Tube amp recommendation for Dahlquist DQ10s
I own the Dahlquist 20i speakers and have had them for years. (Actually my 3rd pair of them). You really need to run Dahlquist speakers with tube amplification, much better than ss. I run them with Von Gaylord monoblock amps and the sound is amazi... 
Dahlquist DQ-8 was: Newbie needs advice...
Hi, the DQ-8's were my very first Dahlquist speakers. When I bought the 8's, the dealer told me the only difference between the 8's and the 9's were that the 9's had a bit more bass. I really liked them, but eventually moved up to the DQ20i's. I l... 
Benchmark DAC
I had the USB Benchmark recently for a couple of weeks and I thought it was very detailed and clear, but just wasn't "musical". I guess by this I mean that I just couldn't listen to it for long periods of time, I thought it was clinical sounding. ... 
Live classic 70s Southern ROck......
The Marshall Tucker Band. I heard them live at a concert and they were sooo good. Some of the members have passed on, but the band is still out there recording and playing. Sandra
