System Pics 2025

I was looking for a simple streaming/headphone set up for my study.

Settled on the Wiim Ultra and Focal Azury headphones.

Out of the box this is just wonderful. Those Wiim people are making some interesting products at outstanding prices.

If interested, you can use the Oratory headphone correction values for your headphones as well with the WiiM.

@AndyP - Of interest!
Can one switch the screen off while in use?
Thanks

Yes it is toggle switch in the app to turn off the screen.

The Wiim app is amazing.

My new Naim system is complete now that I have the FraimLite (Base+264mm Tall Shelf+115mm Standard Shelf). I am not planning any upgrades (such as power supplies) but could easily add shelves if I went that way.
No CDs, no LPs, no stored music files, just streaming (TIDAL), BBC Radio 3 and jazzgroove.org.
NDX2 connects to the Internet via WiFi, not Ethernet. As far as I can tell this works fine, even though the router is in another room.

The TV is a Sony OLED XR65A80L and the sound feeds the NDX2 via Bluetooth, with no lip-synch issues that I can detect.

It makes me wonder if I should have stopped way back (not that long ago) when I had this system! Hindsight and all that…

Have to agree… im using an Ultra into my Technics via USB. The clock in the Tech is doing the lifting.
Sounds brilliant. So much so that it has now replaced my ND5XS2..
which i sold on to release some funds. Don’t miss it.
Yes.. the app is fault free.

Hi @Raptor

What is the item in the perspex case on the left?

I’m considering dipping my toe into streaming (try before you buy for vinyl!) and think the Wiim may be a good starting point, I also see many adding a Chord Qutest dac later to further improve it :+1:

And because of Neil :grin: I am doing exactly the same as I hadn’t considered using this input over the coax ones.

Only thing I’d like to be able to do on the Technics is rename the PC USB input to be something other than PC, all the other inputs are based on input type. I know they are not alone here but just one of those OCD things.

I’m the same on my SN3 for my turntable as I have a Rega Aria phono stage and its into the Tuner input.

Hi @RogerGround this is my Ian Canada DDC streamer and 5v UcConditioner that feeds my DAC. Have just fitted new SC-Pure Extremely-low Phase Noise Audio Clocks.
It’s not the best looking thing but the sound is something ells.

Thank you @RogerGround it’s like cooking if you can read you can cook, have been making my own music streamers for about 10 years but this is the best i have built.
I have found that it’s all down to clean power & clocks, how it can change one’s & zero’s so much has amazed me.
Now i need to make a better case to put all the parts in but my wife like’s all the lights so might just levee it.
