Thanks. Is there any way for the Naim to auto-select source? For example, when you start watching a film, it auto-switches to AV inputs?
Too many years with Zeppelin at Mach 9 on headphones donāt help

Ahhhhhā¦ I seeā¦
Nope you have to manually switch to analogue input, but Roon will auto switch when you play via Roon app on the new unity.
Enough changes since February for a new photo and diagram. New mono amps, new DAC and new speakers! Iāam ready for the winter.

Are you sure the Speakers are close enough to the sidewalls 
SCNR 
But it does look very nice

Nice system, but do yourself a favor and add one or more transports, at least between Mac Mini and Audiolab DAC. That system deserves cleaner USB, and a cheap transport like Allo USBridge will yield big improvements to sound quality.
I took another pic today, I need better light for this reallyā¦ Meridian DSP 5200SE. The guitar is my beloved Tanglewood set up for me by Roy Gandy (Rega) He added a zero fret also, giving me a lovely low action.
What to do with old albums? See picā¦ Okie

Donāt tell me, it has been my worry for years 
Thatās the space available for hifi at the moment.
Good news is Iām looking for a new house and guess what? A proper space for my loudspeaker is the key driver for the final choice

That will make a big difference for your system

Iām really looking forward. I got the B80 4 weeks ago from an excellent deal (they are 8 months old) just because I know Iāll be changing home shortly. In the present one it is a no sense to use such big loudspeakers.
Iāll post the new set-up as soon as ready
Anyway, consider average flat size in Italy is 1/3 than in US

Two rectifiers came with the Atlantic - the 5U3C tube (Svetlana factory, which I understand is based in Russia, though the tube says āHand Made in the Czech Republicā on the base) and one whose markings are unclear but which looks the same (logo seems similar and has āO T K 3ā on the back).
I believe that it was the ceramic base KR 5U4G that I had; is this it? (sorry, this seems to be the only picture I have of it) -
The one pictured here I had replaced as the central pin was at a slight angle, making the tube sit squint in the DAC. The replacement I received emitted a noticeable hum/buzz; Lampizator therefore replaced it with the EML that I am using now, which they felt was on a par with the KR.
I didnāt find it noticeably better than the EML 274BM (mesh version) tube that I am currently using; did you find it to be superior? What is āRKā KR5U4G?
Datasheet for my EML: http://www.emissionlabs.com/datasheets/EML274.htm
i think we need a separate roon tube thread.

That speaker looks rather close to the side wall. Have you tried moving it in. 3 feet from sidewalls is my rule of thumb.
Also, having a guitar(s) in the listening room, singing along at reverberant frequencies wonāt be helpful.

I canāt put the speaker anywhere else Iām afraid. Domestic harmony rules 
The corner position selected in DSP cures any boom. I also have boundary control to use if I need it. (I havenāt felt the need yet.) Those speakers are amazingā¦
As for the guitar, I like it there easy to pick up and play, and if Iām not playing it, I can look at it. Also, studios are full of guitars and the like. I like itā¦
Really, it doesnāt affect sound for me at all.

Letās just think about that for a moment 
Why would you use win10 to run your roon core?
