Love your name mate!!! alas I have been able to plug the dac as I am moving houses and will only do so early next month. Thanks for the advice. But the dealer told me to get best and budget permitting a usb spdif interface. I am very confused now!! by the way thanks for your advice. Thanks mate -

Thanks mate, I will look closer at the naim forums. 24/192 is not important but I would like to buy the best kit. Plus I can stretch my budget up to the wavelength. Thanks -
I finally got my Naim DAC. My question is now about the computer to DAC interface. My two options are the Halide Bridge and Wavelenght audio. I am not looking at the M2 as the dealer that sold me the DAC say he has not heard good things about that combo. I am in India and will not be able to demo the equipment. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

Jon, Thanks for the tip

Sorry if i am missing the obvious here... but can I am wondering if the mac mini with the hiface will know where to send the audio to? The reason for my concern is that I am in India and it will be hear impossible for me to test stuff before buying it. For example: when I play itunes I want the sound to go thru the Hiface unit and when I play avi or divx content thru the mac's optical output. I will do the cabling accordingly but will the software be smart enough to realize it? Once again thanks guys Tarun

Thanks a Ton!! Will look into the Hiface device.

Dear Chris, First of all, thank you for this amazing site. It is probably one of the best I have come across in a long time. I now have all my CD's ripped to aiff thanks to all the information you have listed. My question now is I plan to get a mac mini for the front end and use the optical out to a Naim DAC. It does not have any usb inputs, so optical is my only way. My problem is that going forward I want to also use my mac mini as a htpc, with an optical out to my receiver. Is there anyway I can split the optical output signal from the mac mini?? Many Thanks in advance Tarun
