    Chord Mscaler Qutest to Mscaler TT2

    How much of a jump is swapping out the Qutest to a TT2 with an Mscaler I am Currently using the Qutest Mscaler with CD transport and Innuos Pulse. Does the TT2 have the extra bass and slam over the Qutest? Used Dave prices are coming down but is it worth the extra outlay? Amp is Rega...

    CD player or transport - step up from Exposure 3010S2 CD

    The Meridian CD transports work superbly into an Ndac. They are superly built even if they are getting on. The 200 I have surprised me versus a dedicated streamer and server. The Moon 260d may be worth a look as well- again te Moon kit goes well with Naim

    How good a cd player do I need?

    I have an Ndac 555. Transport makes a big difference. Rega didnt sync. New Rotel CD14 was better. Now using a Meridian 200 which isnt far off my streamer. Defo if playing cds get a proper transport

    Wireworld Supernova 6 question

    Just bought one of these 2nd hand. Mini Toslink to Toslink Are both the plus fixed at either end. One of the ends the toslink plug end spins round fully but the other end the mini end plug is fixed. Should this cable do this with it being glass or is this a fault? thanks

    Mac Mini with Naim Ndac V NDX

    Currently have a Naim NDX with Teddy PSU with flac files stored on a NAS. If I were to add an NDac and the power supply on the NDAC would this give me any improvement over using a different streamer. I know a lot use the Mac Mini with the Toslink Optical into a seperate DAC- would this...
