[. . . ] Naim CD players have long been a testament to that fact, and now the HDX hard disk music player has joined them. At the heart of the HDX is a CD ripping and data storage system employing some of the most advanced data acquisition and error analysis algorithms ever deployed in the pursuit of sound quality. It rips CD audio data, stores it on a hard disk, catalogues the artist, album and track titles and, at the touch of a screen, replays it with utterly uncompromised sound quality. [. . . ] A solid-state drive variant, the HDX-SSD, is available for those who wish to opt out of internal storage, preferring to rip to network-attached storage only. Network storage locations and priorities can be changed at will and music can be moved between locations via the HDX's simple and intuitive user interface. Browsing is a breeze Browsing your music collection with HDX is a breeze. No more peering at CDs on shelves and promising that they'll be in alphabetical order one day. Each CD ripped by the HDX is automatically catalogued through enquiry to an online database and its data added to the internal library, regardless of storage location. Genres can be assigned, or new ones invented, and even album or track names can be edited. The HDX makes you head librarian of your own music library. Find music with ease Searching for music is not limited to albums and tracks. Can't remember the name of the bass player on Antonio Forcione's Meet Me in London?The Naim Extended Music database, with the power of AMG at its heart, will find it for you. Remember the smallest detail and all your music is there at the touch of a screen. And, in case you were wondering, there were two bass players on Meet Me in London; Malcolm Creese and Davide Mantovani. Choose your interface The HDX incorporates a front panel touch screen that offers all the control you'll need. But perhaps you fancy controlling your HDX from your listening position?Well, connect a small display screen, or even your television, and you can operate the HDX with its remote handset. iPhone and iPod Touch users can even download a HDX control app from the App Store. Access your HDX from your PC with Naim's Desktop Client Application With an HDX connected to a home network you don't have to be in the same room to browse your music library.
