Everything comes together
Connect to DAC
If exceptional music making is the first hallmark of
the Naim DAC, the second is versatility.
Versatility comes thanks to S/PDIF inputs that can
accommodate either optical or coaxial formats
and USB inputs that can accommodate memory
sticks and iPod and iPhone models. It arises also
from the numerous Naim system upgrades that
the DAC makes possible. Simultaneously with its
introduction, the CDX2 and CD5 XS CD players
have gained S/PDIF outputs and can now benefit
significantly from use with the DAC.
With the addition of a DAC, existing preamplifiers
can be incorporated into digital audio systems.
The Naim DAC can be controlled by a Naim
preamplifier remote control, seamlessly integrating
analogue and digital inputs across the two
units. The DAC becomes an extension of the
preamplifier. And when a USB stick, iPod or
iPhone is docked, the DAC front panel input
buttons transform to operate as playback controls.
