    Not something I have any experience of, so I can’t help there.

    Help a newbie match speakers to amp power

    That’s an excellent system you are getting together. I have the KEF R3 Metas and an Eversolo DMP-A6 Master (not currently hooked up in the same system) and I considered the Apollon, but eventually went with the Benchmark AHB2. You can rest assured that you are not going to do any damage in any...

    Anyone know how to generate a 12V trigger where none is provided?

    Hi BobWire. What you have looks like an excellent solution to the problem I was describing. Since I made that original post, I took a more basic approach, and bought something with a trigger i/o. If not, I would have been in the market for the AAT1. Might still find it useful. The obvious...

    Dealers leaving Naim

    Naim prices for anything other than the base components like Muso and Uniti, are very much higher in North America than they are in the UK. That puts them in a very price non-competitive position with respect to NA manufacturers. I believe the plan at Naim is to price locally so that the...

    Not a very scientific comparison between the EverSolo A6 Master and Naim Uniti Atom

    That’s what I was expecting @lordhumungous, but the speakers I have are 90dB sensitivity and no hiss can be heard. Perhaps I have a good unit.

    How to match my tube pre-amp with various SS power amps

    Just to muddy up the waters a little bit here. The Benchmark AHB2 power amp that I have has a three setting gain switch, and in their literature they say that ideally the user should select the lowest setting that does not cause the volume knob to run out of travel. The lowest gain setting...

    Not a very scientific comparison between the EverSolo A6 Master and Naim Uniti Atom

    I have both of the streamers in the title, and decided to see if I could detect any difference between them in my system. I was only really checking the streamer/DAC in each. I had the Atom and A6 streaming from internet radio to start. The Atom was connected into the RCA inputs of my Topping...

    Issue with new Topping A90 Discrete

    A follow up to my above post from April 18: When the problem occurred I sent an email to Topping in China describing the issue. I got a return email the next day saying that I would need to ship the unit to China at my cost as it was out of warranty. I would also need to pay for return...

    Issue with new Topping A90 Discrete

    I am getting the same thing almost exactly with my A90D. I have had the unit for about two years (since it came out I believe), and it is or was in use every day driving a Moon 330A power amp, as the preamp for the TV, EverSolo A6, CD player, and as a headphone amp for my Dan Clark Stealths...

    Naim Uniti Atom Review (Streamer & Amp)

    I own both the Atom HE and the ‘regular’ Atom, as well as ASR reviewed Benchmark components, Topping components, and EverSolo, all of which have excellent test results. I doubt if you could find anyone with capable enough hearing to be able to reliably distinguish between these systems or...

    Naim Uniti Atom Review (Streamer & Amp)

    Perhaps, but that is not clear at all. You mean the Atom I assume, but there is a lot of discussion about Topping D70 and other things in the pages before the comment.

    Benchmark AHB2 Review (Updated Measurements)

    Lighten up! Humor and sarcasm are difficult to convey in forum posts. Or is it true what they say: No one in Calgary has a sense of humor!

    Need a DAC with more inputs: Suggestions?

    Currently, I have am using a Topping E30 DAC which has only one coax and one optical digital input. It drives a Topping A90 discrete, which drives a power amp or headphones. I seem to have too many digital sources (4): Coax for music file storage input (Naim Core) Optical for TV sound input...

    Is my Atom a bad match for my R3 Metas?

    Can you say what “clipping peaks” would sound like? Is there a way to tell?

    Is my Atom a bad match for my R3 Metas?

    As I said: 10 ft by 12 ft (with 9 ft ceiling).

    Is my Atom a bad match for my R3 Metas?

    Some days back I got the KEF R3 Metas (in indigo!) to replace my 13 year old B&W CM1 bookshelf speakers. Needless to say, the KEFs are a big upgrade in neutrality, and without the screechy highlights I had to avoid before on some tracks. My amplifier is the Naim Atom, which I know doesn’t get...

    Anyone know how to generate a 12V trigger where none is provided?

    What’s this? Common sense rearing its head? . I’m thinking my best option is the smart power bar. That way I don’t need to reach behind a rack. Perhaps the reason this did not occur to me before, was having read the power amp manual (Moon 330A) which states that the amp is designed to be left...

    Anyone know how to generate a 12V trigger where none is provided?

    Thanks. Some ideas there. Probably the Niles Audio is the closest to what I need. Unfortunately I don’t have a toslink output that could drive the Bobwire, just inputs. The 12V power supply plugged into the Smart power strip is the least expensive.

    Anyone know how to generate a 12V trigger where none is provided?

    Just wondering if there is an obvious answer to this: I have a power amp with a 12V trigger input, and a pre-amp + DAC that does not provide any trigger output. So I have to switch each of them on separately. Do any of you know of a relatively easy, i.e. not requiring soldering irons or...
