Own one since 2 weeks. LOVE it! OK, the way to officially get sound from it, i.e. the app and DLNA etc isn't brilliant... But the sound is. Here's what I use to get very good useability combined with top sound: 1. Use an SB Touch with linear power supply, and with EDO installed. Coax out (with top cable) to the NA11S1. 2. SB Server 7.7.3 for my collection, maintained via iTunes. Significant part of the collection is hires (92-192), and all is ALAC. Runs on a 2010 MacMini, dedicated, with a FireWire attached Drobo2, containing all the files. 3. Use SqueezePad or iPeng to control the SBT, tune to internet radio etc. Work perfect for all resolutions, the Marantz indicates the correct resolution. And now I have top useability, and Album Art on the SBT. For DSD files I use another, dedicated, MacMini 2011, with Audirvana. The actual DSD ISO files are stored on the above mentioned MM (on the Drobo) that has the ALAC's as well, so it's almost like I'm streaming DSD :-) This MM is now linked to the Marantz via USB, Audirvana sees it as High Speed USB Audio device. MacMini CoreDuo, 600 GB of mostly ALAC lossless music (iTunes ripped) -> Black Transporter (analog & digital out), and Marantz DV8400 vM mod for SACD + DVD-A, via Siltech Paris to Harman Kardon AVR 8500 & HK PA2200 Signature -> 6 x Mission 780SE & 78C & 2 x REL Strata III ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audiotic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5912 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101584 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
