User manual NAIM NAT 101

[. . . ] The NAT 101 is of course not the first CD ripping hard disk music player, but it is the first to carry a Naim logo, with all the principles of musical audio quality that the logo demands. It is also the first to reach the heady performance levels of the world's best CD players ­ our own. So imagine your entire CD collection available for immediate replay with Naim CD player sound quality at the touch. [. . . ] So imagine your entire CD collection available for immediate replay with Naim CD player sound quality at the touch. Audiophile hard disk playback has arrived NAT 101 playback begins with a Naim engineered, multiple power supply PCI interface that feeds audio data to the digital-to-analogue conversion stage. The NAT 101 borrows heavily from the established Naim practices that produce the world's finest sounding CD players. It incorporates multi-regulated power supplies, a Burr-Brown digital-to-analogue converter, ultra-low jitter re-clocking, seven pole analogue output filtering, and every last thing we know about maximising musical sound quality. An XPS or 555 PS external power supply can be connected for even greater musical performance. Open the CD drawer, insert the CD and in a few minutes the NAT 101 rips and stores a bit-perfect copy. An NAT 101 can store around 750 CDs internally on its 500GB drive, while network hard disk storage for around 20, 000 CDs is possible with Naim CD player sound quality. A solid-state drive variant, the NAT 101-SSD, is available for those who wish to opt out of internal storage, preferring to rip to network-attached storage only. Access your NAT 101 from your PC with Naim's Desktop Client Application With an NAT 101 connected to a home network you don't have to be in the same room to browse your music library. The Naim Desktop Client is a Windows PC application that can control your NAT 101, browse its music files and handle player setup and maintenance easily and intuitively. Connected HiFi at your fingertips with high resolution audio and network streaming As well as being a stand-alone hard disk music player, the NAT 101 can be used as a music server to provide up to six different streams of music simultaneously over a home network. It also operates as a UPnPTM server to stream audio to any UPnPTM playback device, such as the NaimUniti or UnitiQute, and can play high resolution audio files at up to 24bit/192kHz from its USB interface or from network storage. And for those wanting custom-installed multi-room audio, NAT 101 also works with Naim's IPbased multi-room system NaimNet*. Install an NAT 101 and you've installed both a high-performance source component and the heart of a multi-room audio system. *To find out more about NaimNet visit www. naimnet. com Upgrades are a fundamental element of the Naim philosophy. There are two upgrade paths for the NAT 101: the first, the addition of an external power supply (either an XPS or 555 PS) and the second, adding the DAC, Naim's stand-alone digital to analogue converter. Each of these upgrades will bring about a significant increase in performance.

Each of these upgrades will bring about a significant increase in performance. However when used in combination, with the power supply instead connected to the DAC, they deliver an outstanding step-change in performance.
