No, the drive is just for ripping, not playing. But a rip should only take a few minutes at most.
When your cd will be ripped, so 5 mn later, you will be able to play it from Uniticore / Ndac, connected by Spdif, the Core connected by Ethernet cable to a switch or router.
The big avantage is to have all your cds ripped and classified, appearing on the Naim app.
No need to search in your room , choose the right cd and put it on a cd transport. With one click you will find it within the app. You will be able to play hires downloads too, for a better sound ( but not always) vs a cd.
Thank you all for your guidance. The CORE a must for my future plans. I want to plan for 2022 and I do need all the advice I can gather. My ethernet is 80 feet from my system. Is there an ethernet repeater junction box that I can lock into and then reach the CORE? Any and all ideas are welcome.
Good news! Today I purchased a pre-loved XPS non DR. for my nDAC. Semi late serial number So I should get a few good years. Power cable and Burndy included.
You could use a Wireless access point. I’ve used an Airport Express for this and it works well.
Ohhhh… how tiring that is…
Time consuming, and you tend to listen often to the same albums….and asking yourself what to choose during a long time.
Thank you Mr. Dane. I will take your advice and
move in that direction.
Wugged_Way - In addition to my large collection of shiny discs I have a 3 Terabyte outboard hard drive I access by remote VIA USB through the Oppo. I access an almost unlimited catalog of music from my listening position. Thanks to Gracenote the artist, album, track is all displayed on my 42" TV monitor without leaving my seat.
I have to walk 3 yards to access mine.
Each to their own, of course.
That is definately not my experience at all.
But we are all different I suppose.
