Yeah, Naim badges sure are expensive.

Note what Naim thinks about which recorded media choices are relevant in the
high end:

CD Yes
DVD-A No
MP3 Yes
SACD No
CD-R Yes
CD-RW Yes
Hard Disk No
DAB Yes

Note the non-support of DVD-A and SACD...

F**k, it's bad enough at work that all the CAD designers have in ear 'phones in
all the time, you have to slap them round the head to get their attention at
all. With network implant cards and 'direct brain vibration sound' work would
grind to a halt.

Yeah,too true..market pressure probably.

True, they could/should have fitted it with one of the widely available 160 gig
solid state drives which with the controller board and **** would have cost them
in the region of £300(ish) and would have made it a more useful device and it
would still be totally silent. While not being 'cavernous' 160 gigs is useful
storage even for FLAC files. Whether the extra £300 would have made any
difference to it's sales is hard to judge. (For me anyway)

5x 24-bit/192kHz inputs too!

Yeah, that's good.

I'm getting a hard on thinking about a solid-state audio server. ;-)

Yeah, join the club, but before I make a move the price of SSD's is gonna have
to come down a bit and unfortunately there's bit of a flash shortage in the
world at the moment.
