Hi all, my setup has now evolved from an all Naim system bar the speakers (which were TAD) to and all TAD setup - D1000Mk2 > M2500Mk2 > ME-1s

I’ve been experimenting with the source today, SACD sounds awesome, CDs pretty awesome, Audirvana (from Mac mini) very good, Roon (on Mac mini) not so good

am I missing something on the source front? Is there a better option for streaming (I use Qobuz) than Audirvana/Roon?
Thanks,Carl

Hi!
You can improve the sound quality of your streaming by introducing a digital audio bridge. That's a device that is designed for audio from the ground up and it connects to a network and to the input on the D1000Mk2. Devices like that provide cleaner signals than USB outputs from Mac Mini, or any other computer. An example of that would be either Zen Stream, or NEO Stream from our offer.

Hello @Stones1977
You could try to borrow an Aurender device which incorporates Qobuz streaming besides storing all your digital files. This is what I use and I'm very happy with it.
