I assume there is no simpler way? It's a long time since I took apart a Naim amp, but they always used to have simple screws holding the case together, inside the rubber feet. You could loosen one of those screws then tighten it back up with a wire captured underneath, then connect the other end of the wire to the outer ring of a phono plug, and plug it into the Squeezebox's COAX digital output (with nothing connected to the centre pin of the phono plug).
Another option would be to buy a 5-pin DIN plug from somewhere like Radio Shack (even a cheap plastic-bodied one will do), and on the inside connect the centre pin to the metal sleeve. Then put it back together and just plug it in to a spare DIN socket on the Nait. But if you find the Nait is really easy to open up, it should be very simple to insert a wire between one of the -ve input socket pins and the (grounded) chassis. That gives you a much neater installation, because it's all internal to the Nait. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33414 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
