Streamer for Nait 50

So, fired up the Audiolab CDT6000, powerline mains, Mark Grant co-ax into the EverSolo - running on the std stock mains, and Naim Lavender RCA to Din into the '50, running on a Powerline Lite.

Played 3 CD’s, London Grammar - reproduced the detail & delicacy well, pretty good. Then tried something completely different, Leaves’ Eyes and Moonlight Haze…again not bad. Not as good as the thro the Linn DSM, however very listenable.

Next, played the same songs via Qobuz…I thought this may be better, it was a little different however not necessarily that much better…

Overall, not too shabby…impressed given the cost of the ES and Audiolab…

(The ES is also available with a better DAC for a premium…)

Hope this helps.

Thx v m

I am delighted with my Eversolo. A lot of streamer and associated tech for the money. Sounds wonderful to date through my Nait 50. I’m pleased with my decision to front my 50 with it. Hope yours works out for you too.

:+1: For the money it seems tremendous value. SQ is very good, lots of features, and looks good… got a 2TB drive for it to try out .

Interested to find out how the Master Edition would sound…

So an ES ME with and Audiolab 9000t then…

For just over £2K that would be a good combo…and plenty of screens to play with… :+1:

I think the 6000 CDT is excellent value for money and I can see why it has sold so well

Somewhat harsh given no-one outside of Cyrus has heard these new units yet?

So time ago I had an Cyrus CD player as a source into my Naim 202/200. Sounded excellent.

The Cyrus streamer is pre-order .

I have a UQ2 that I will stream internet radio from.

I personally don’t find this to be true anymore. Going back a few years, yes, but “classic” Naim and mono x era Cyrus aren’t so diametrically opposed. I went from Cyrus pre x mono x to Naim quite happily without a perceived juxtaposition or askew jump in sound presentation. Even more so now, the new Cyrus ix9r (I think that’s right) is a solid performer and worth sn audition at its price point.

The Cyrus design and size has always been nice in my opinion.

A CB streamer to compliment the Nait 50 with no screen would be a winner. Imagine all the new Nait 50 owners that would get one (that are currently crying out for one!) and then the is the classic CB market. The old Nait 1 & 2s owners and not forgetting the CB pre/power owners too. And would it not be great if it had a variable output - just 3 positions: the standard 2V and then 1V and 0.5V so the original CB brigade could have some play in their volume knobs and get rid of any volume imbalance at low volume (Nait2 mainly). Could be a 3 position switch at the back or handled in the app.

Would you buy one?

The multi colour LEDS not so nice when you had/have a full Hark rack.

A CB product line below the classic line.

5i and XS gone with a CB line of streamers, integrated amps and maybe more.
