Did it improved the Nds for local streaming ? Very very curious

Hi
Can you give more detail as I have never tried bubble or similar before. By the way, I use IOS a new PC not android.
Once I install Bubble uPNP server on the PC, how do I actually stream Qubuz, select tracks?
Sorry if this sounds really basic

Hi all
I’ve gone with mconnect. Was straightforward to set up and works ok for me.
Thanks for all the suggestions
Cheers
Steve

So the NDS has become the dac for the ND5XS2. I still run the Uniticore via the NDS and my other NAC272 based system. I also can listen to Qobuz and Hires stations (radio paradise Etc ) on the 272 as well with the Naim App app . Very happy with the outcome

Excellent. All you need to do now is add a DAC to the SPDIF output and you’ll have a fully pimped NDS.

My wondering is if it’s possible to achieve Nd555 performance with Nd5xs2 into Nds/555 dr.
For now I couldn’t find a response, specially for local streaming, which is my only concern.

Audirvana. Will stream Qobuz directly from PC or Mac
RooUPnP on a Raspberry Pi. Works brilliantly and excellent VFM if you have Roon and a Raspberry Pi

Local Streaming?, -would ‘imagine’ the ND5XS2/NDS/555DR combo closer to the ND555 than the NDX2/555DR ,not done a direct comparison though

This. And it works perfectly and sounds great.

Thanks for the response. As I stream only locally, from my Melco, I am very curious if Nd5xs2 into Nds/555 dr is really and clearly better than Nds/ 555dr, on local streaming only. If yes, it would save me a lot of money. As you know, selling the Nds is a big loose , as it’s generally around 2k euros. Buying the Nd555 without the ps on second hand market is not easy. Generally it comes at around 17/20 k on second hand ( with the 555 dr).

I use an Innuos zen mk3 connected to the nds via ethernet.
Brilliant, with the bonus of a decent ipad interface. No discernible difference between Qobuz and local files.

I used BubbleUPnP Server installed on my NAS, this worked fine but I didn’t like the user interfaces for the software options I tried, Linn Kazoo being the best of a poor lot in my view.
