Best source...?

I too am interested in the 3D Lab Nano, but there is very little information on this device in the UK, or indeed very little information that is not written in French.  Looks like they might need a UK distributor?

Hi Confused have you tried to make contact with 3D Labs or any of their French retailers? I really do think someone needs to take this for a test drive. To say that people are raving about this product across the channel would be an understatement.

I think my interest is perhaps rather too casual at the moment.  Buying some sort of "streaming bridge" is very much on my to do list, but I fear that the product that would have me splashing the cash possibly does not exist at the moment, however, I am quietly looking around to see if perhaps it is out there.  At the moment, most folk appear to be interested in sound quality, which of course I am, and also integration of streaming services, Qobuz etc, which I am not.  I think my dream product would have AIR beating sound quality and in terms of functionality would do most of what iTunes does.  Specifically, to be able to allow individual tracks to be rated, sorted by rating etc.  Something that could read iTunes metadata without too much hassle would be perfect.  Does such a machine exist?  Not that I am aware of.  But I am happily looking around at what's out there, plus it appears to be a fast developing  area.  I realise that very few people will want what I am looking for, but there you go, I guess I'll be sticking with AIR for a while.  I'd love to take my PC out of the audio chain, but you can't have everything.  I think my point re the 3D Labs is that it has caught my interest with respect to sound quality / price, but I would want to know a lot more about functionality before trying to organise a home demo or similar.

Just posted some new info re the Nano here. Hope to have an update very soon!
