It is not at all clear that Naim will develop a pure streamer - the Uniti and UnitiQute seem to be the closest. Even if they do, it will not work with SBS. This is an SB forum after all.
I would have been happy to have a TP if it was still current - perhaps we should say Logitech did it right with the TP rather than do it right? But what do you mean by stream "directly"? I would like to stream in the most direct way - in the Mac running SBS, but there is no SB software player currently that is up to the job. And before we start another cycle of responses, I do understand why. If the analog output from the Touch proves good enough I will not need a separate DAC. Which DS would you equate with Naim when you are comparing prices? -- nonnoroger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74471
