Glad I could help. I’m being silly suggesting HAKAI would appear under a list of servers if it’s actually a renderer!

Now to go home and see what foobar2000 is made of.

Can you see your HAKAI listed under Media Servers? My MinimServer eventually appears there, though it can take a while. Navigate to find an album or track to play. If your iOS device is already Airplaying it should just work. Otherwise, yes, pull down from top right and press the airplay symbol in t...

I’m just trying foobar2000 and will compare with MConnect. First impressions are positive. Someone please correct if I’m wrong but I think any app that can play through the iDevice speaker can be broadcast over Airplay. Some apps like Qobuz have the facility built in, whereas, for foobar2000 , I use...

£600 more expensive than what anyway?
It’s still superb value whichever way you look at it.

I suspected as much but I had my fingers crossed. Thanks for letting us know jajo.

This link suggests it may be possible https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207117

Thanks Jajo.

Thanks Jajo. I also have an LG OLED connected similarly to Azazello, though I use the TV optical out into a Chord Mojo DAC which then feeds the Sagatuns. A significant improvement on the TV’s internal DAC. It sound like Apple TV might be worth a try to improve the sound even more. Just thinking of m...

A question to all the lucky ones who were able to listen to Källa: How big is the impact of the rack on Källa? Thank you Matt I’ve just had a couple of pints so I apologise if my response is a little blasé, but as I have to use Källa in my Quadraspire rack, it’s not something of great interest at t...

Yes, many thanks u252agz.
Are you going to order one?

This afternoon, I've done a limited comparison of Qobuz, NAS drive and Spotify Premium and I have to say that you wouldn't be disappointed using any of them with Källa. Just for clarification: Did you try Qobuz via the app or via mConnect? Thanks Matt Ah, forgot to mention that. I tried both and pr...

This afternoon, I've done a limited comparison of Qobuz, NAS drive and Spotify Premium and I have to say that you wouldn't be disappointed using any of them with Källa. To me the differences between them were small compared to the massive improvement over my old Vitus. My network is probably a bit d...

Thanks again Fredrik. It certainly is very impressive! Have I missed an explanation why streaming from the NAS sounds worse that a streaming service? Is it because of the extra network traffic required to transfer the data from the NAS to the wireless router, so it can then be broadcast over wi-fi t...

Thanks Fredrik.

So does the encoding of the source data and any required conversion affect the sound at all?

So many variables that need to be narrowed down for a like for like comparison, without even considering the effects of the network configuration. For example I thought I would just do a quick comparison of Qobuz vs NAS by comparing the same track I’d bought from Qobuz on my NAS vs streaming direct ...

I believe an assessment is being made by u252agz very shortly!

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments about my review. A small update - 007 has now moved on to its next tour stop and I am the proud owner of 006 as of this morning (nerd alert: as a fan of Patrick McGoohan's classic 60s TV show The Prisoner I find this quite appropriate). In the interim I ren...

Well, here we go. Källa 007 arrived with me on Friday morning. Huge thanks again to John at Kantata for arranging its tour schedule. To give a bit of background, I believe I've already experienced a step change in digital sound when I listened to my current Vitus RD-101 DAC around eighteen months ag...

Have I missed any theories for why NAS replay isn’t as good as streaming services? Does it depend on how the NAS delivers the stream? Wav or flac, always padded to 24 bit or natural bit lengths as MinimServer allows? Is there some inherent difference in the stream from a NAS compared to steaming ser...

Huzzah! I’m hoping to hear one of those two soon.

Congratulations Fredrik!

Can’t wait to hear it.

Yes, three resellers in UK.

I was just wondering whether there were any Brexit issues. Thanks for everyone’s help.

Ha, then you would change your signature :-)

Matt

Hopefully! There’s not enough room to specify I haven’t heard the KDS Organic, but the Vitus was so far ahead anyway. Given Fredrik’s track record I have very high hopes.

I suspect Fredrik’s attention to detail is unmatched in the whole industry.

The big question for me is are any of these units making their way to the UK? Given my previous experience of Lejonklou products, I’d be happy to buy one sight unseen!

As opposed to a non gender specific lead? Sorry, couldn’t resist it. :-)
