Advantages of MinimStreamer

[Jota]

Naim produced a white paper on their top of the line streamer and commented on their finding that transcoding the FLAC files on a NAS reduced the effort on the streamer. The streamer itself would have to do the transcoding if it was fed FLAC files, making it's processor work harder, raising the power needed and therefore the noise level inside the streamer. Naim concluded this could have an effect on sound quality.

As always, try for yourself.
