Agree. If you want a low price and good quality just buy a Bose Soundeck or something similar. Main offers a fra superior audio experience. I can listen to Naim all day. MUsic sounds effortless , rich and, well, musical. There is a unique lilt to the Naim sound that brings the best out in the music, and for some people (including myself) that is price well worth paying.
Hey Julian you wrote: "unique lilt", "superior audio experiance", "effortless, rich and , well, musical". Oh my gosh even Malcolm Steward wouldn't be that cheesy (or would he?). Look deep into my eyes and obey my command - you must not take the audio press as gospel, you must abstain from reading certain publications
One final point - I suspect your Spell check function is knackered.
The Uniti is two and half grand, the Qute is 1500 quid, and the server is another 2 grand, a total of six grand for hardware that looks like a two shoeboxes and a grey slab. For a third the price we all can put together a Win7 based PC to include "noiseless" PSU, WiFi + all types of connectivity, 24/192 etc, and much more - Hi-Def graphics, Blu-Ray burner etc etc. I don't want anyone going out of buisiness or losing jobs, but they need to get real in the current economic climate...
@FedUpLurker Using a dedicated piece of hi-fi equipment, designed purely to handle audio, will bring advantages to usability, convenience and especially sound quality. And you can always stream music stored on your PC to any of our all-in-one players.
In any case we would always advise people to head down to their local hi-fi retailer for a demonstration before buying. That way they will get a real appreciation for the difference in sound quality. Best wishes,
