I don't know what sonic benefits Naim claim for the use of DIN, but the two advantages they do have are that the individual connections are all identical (like XLR) for both signal and ground and the contacts are to some degree self-cleaning on insertion/retraction. -- Phil Leigh You want to

Two of the perhaps most prominent reasons for the din-connection are impedance matching of the connector (with the cable) and the star grounding arrangement (by having only one ground path). The technicalities are really beyond me, but afaiu the claims are technically sound. -- bhaagensen

It's very easy, the wireless card is in a edge socket, you just lift and pull and it pops out... It should also not be necessary. The default behaviour for slim products has been to disable the wireless interface whenever a wired lan is present. So it's sort of strange that your's keeps going

I cannot see how the transporter using levels of digital attenutaion that are fairly destructive (over 10 bits) to the signal can be better than using analog attn. I would try using the G02 again using the Transporters dac using the rCA analog out and balanced outs and also your own dac , using
