Streaming Music

[enatai252]

I am sold on the Naim music server systems...
At my cabin I have the HDX-SSD/DAC/555PS as the only source...fed from a QNAP NAS. This feeds an ARC ref2 mk2/VS115/Wilson Duettes. It allowed me to have all of my CD collection at both homes. I also have a Naim Qute in the wine cellar which streams UPnP from the HDX. Using an iPad to control both and it works flawlessly and sounds great.

At home...I have an HDX feeding digital into the Classe CT-SSP and have a Qute in the study and a Qute in the Family Room. Both of those stream from my iTunes using Eyeconnect or from the HDX...Both feed digital into a Classe CP-800 and SSP-800 respectively. With this system...I am sold on media servers and likely won't go back...although my Naim CDS3 still sounds great.

So I am SOTA...but truth be told...I spin more vinyl on my SME20 into an ASR than any of the above...go figure

Just got a Squeezebox Touch yesterday and I'm still playing with it. I am surprised at the quality of streamed FLAC files, using the Touch's own DAC going straight to my Prima Luna amp. Not as good as my Oppo 95, of course, but for $250, I can't really complain. And it opened a new door to lots of music that was just sitting and collecting imaginary dust on my hard drive. Currently streaming MIKE OLDFIELD from my own server.

Well.... thinking.... Spotify does allow sharing of playlist. What better way to do a "What did you stream last nite?" forums.

Hello,
I just noticed this one.
Can you not stream FLAC to the OPPO? And if so how would you compare it to the SB Touch?

I have a SB Classic and HDX 1000 for video. I wonder whether the OPPO 95 could replace both AND do a better job.

Thanks
Yves
