Hello I have a naim dac and want to connect it to my SSD player/recorder via a digital coax cable. Am I right in thinking that it will only accept wav files from the SSD and not mp3? Playing a CDRW disc into the dac recorded in mp3 works (ripped/burnt from a computer). I did check the forum as to how best use the usb input to play the odd music file in wav but found the dac can be a pit picky as to the make of usb stick and if the music is in a folder. I wondered if anyone found a definitive answer. I know I am going back a long way, but I am not yet ready to commit to a streaming music service.
So long as your device outputs a 2 channel PCM digital output via the s/pdif the DAC will be fine with it.
I can play MP3 as well as most formats (wav, m4a, flac…) with my nDac 
Thanks for the info. Checked the manual for the SSD and it states Digial Out Jack IEC60958-3 (S/PDIF) and AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 (AES/EBU) Switchable. I assume one of them would be compatible with the dac?
Yes, the S/pdif output should be fine.
