Re. selector switch musings. I ended up removing the selector switches from both of my NVA amps, a process of elimination of components and sources. When I still used a tuner and CD player, I fitted an on-on toggle switch as a selector. It allowed me to switch between 2 inputs, was cheap and sounded...

Hi, I tried a HiCap with my CD5x a few years ago and preferred the sound without it! Earlier this year I bought an Audiolab M DAC+ and tried it with a £40 DVD player. I preferred the combination to the CD5x, more detail, less coloured, better all 'round. I sold the Naim and bought a second hand Musi...
