I prefer Naim dacs, as do most people round here.

Glad you like them, I prefer the Chord DACs, my ears/system/ room etc.
Also glad you found my post from last December!

It’s a Naim Forum after all, isn’t it?

Yes that would explain it.
Plus, maybe they just do sound better!

When I play the selekt and the muso QB via AirPlay 2, both systems do not run exactly parallel. What is to be done?

My initial thinking on this is that the time for each system to play music is not the same nor is it sync’d. Depending on how far out of sync they are it may be possible to slow the Selekt down a bit by altering its "lip sync’ time. Having said that I have no idea if the lip sync time is impacted by Airplay2 or if it is for HDMI input only.
Maybe a couple of calls, one to Naim and one to Linn?

Is that for example when say, playing the same radio station on both.
If so, we have the same. If playing Jazz24 on an Echo device and on the Linn Selekt DSM at the same time, they are not synced.
I put it down to different servers, different interfaces, etc.
DG…
I don’t mean that, that’s quite normal.
I play a station via a radio app on my mobile phone and transmit via AirPlay 2 on both devices. This works with different Naim devices and also with two other mobile speakers. The selekt has a minimal time offset

What makes you assume that they should all be in sync?
There’s no communication between the playback devices that would imply this for starters.

Maybe Roon can work around this issue? But I guess that you are not using Roon?

The Apple Marketing say that can be played all parallel. It also works with the other devices

If they were all Apple devices, like HomePod, then it is very likely. But Linn implementation of Airplay may not be the case.

Are you using SO on the Linn ?

Did you try adjusting lipsync on Linn? My understanding is that it inserts delay or not to an audio stream so that audio can be sync’d with an external video, It may adjust all inputs or it may only impact HDMI inputs but you could try. It may be that your Linn box has “Delay Mode” set to “Video Sync” and it is that which is causing the delay.

It can’t, I had Linn, Naim, Sonos and Chord devices as concurrently available end points on my Roon setup and they can’t be grouped together in one common multiroom output.
In theory Airplay should be able to group endpoints but no idea if you’d expect accurate alignment of outputs.

This is my understanding: we can group zones of the same type Airplay, but you may be correct in pointing out that accurate alignment may not possible. I would not use Airplay (2) for hires, so it is just my guess that it could work.

Would it be worth making my linn selekt dsm into an all in one System with focal kanta 1. Or should I keep my Rega aethos amplifier.
