I also have a NAP 180 (though with Avondale NCC220 boards inside) and a NAC 82, powered by a Teddy DTC. It sounds magnificent but I wanted to scratch an itch by taking the pre-amp out of the line and feeding the 180 directly from my RME ADI-2 DAC. I picked up a phono > DIN cable (from here in...

I designed and 3d printed some a while back. Here they are on my CB gear: CB knobs

To ease my curiosity, I just bought a pair of Sony WF-C700N. I have to say I am so far hugely underwhelmed. They sound dull, flat and quiet compared to my DAC/wired Sony 'phones, which are very exciting and engaging. I was expecting a bit of a reduction in quality due to the lack of external...

I'm also getting curious about wireless earbuds. My daughter has some skullcandy Rail and they sound pretty good. Not as good as my current on-the-go set up which is an iFi Go DAC dongle and Sony MDR-EX650APT, but not bad at all for just €65. I've been looking at Sony mostly as I have never been...

Here's one I made earlier. Mine is Chrome Bumper, I'm very happy with the result and it gets played every day. Plenty of room inside the case for a Pi, power supply and hard drive. I made a few changes to the internals since that post but it is essentially the same.

There is a thread on the Naim forum about stocking up on and/or replacing these tweeters, as they were discontinued last year. I bought a pair and replaced them on my Allaes and was very happy with the result (I have some photos on the thread). I bought mine in Germany and it looks like they...

I just consulted my beer buddy with a good memory and got quite a list of places we have visited recently. A mixture of big corporates and small independents: Eschenbräu (Wedding, https://eschenbraeu.de/) Muted Horn (Tempelhof, https://themutedhorn.com/ Heisenpeters (Kreuzberg...

I first came to Berlin in 1988 as part of a European road trip. The van broke down and I've been here ever since! I've long stopped going to tourist spots, but have a tendency to visit dive bars and there are an increasing amount of craft beer places popping up. I have a collection of photos...

+1 for the app, it makes it so much easier to change settings on this wonderful DAC.

Cheers, I just ordered some now so should be sorted. Sean

I’m looking for a set of cables for my CB gear. It’s a 42.5 and 140. I want to add a PSU to power the 42.5 but the one I have is non-Naim (though the correct voltage obviously), and it only provides power and not the option to transfer the signal from the pre to the power amp, so what I need is...

I bought the Koltura, it was just a few weeks old and nearly €100 cheaper than new. I also like the Premiere and for the price it is amazing (I think I paid about 35 quid). The Koltura is just slightly better, bringing a little more detail out, but definitely not a night and day thing. I will...

I'm also interested in Koltura cables, as an RCA to DIN has come up second hand locally. Would there be a noticeable improvement over my Flashback premium RCA to DIN?

I have a perfect-condition 'brown' olive fascia (the older type) that I removed from a hi-cap to replace with a 'green' olive fascia. I'm sure that would fit. Price would be what I paid for the 'green' version, I will PM you with the details if you are interested. I also have an extra 'green'...

The egg guy at my local market supplied these. They break down the echo in this big boxy room. They work very well.
