Sonata eight months on…

摘要

I just re-read John Bamford's review of the Cambridge Sonata NP30 network player in the February 2012 issue. I have been using one for eight months now. Many of my audio friends are chasing computer audio with varying results while I have chosen another path. I agree with John about gapless playback but have been told by Cambridge's technical support that a firmware upgrade for this is on its way. As for the sound, I am running my player through a DacMagic using a coaxial interconnect plus a replacement power supply in the form of the 120VAC Pangea. This arrangement gives me immense satisfaction for playing 16/44 and 24/96 FLAC files.
