There is no provision to add an internal HD, just the USB port at the rear to connect a HD

Although the dac is the same as 'only' the 05X, I find it interesting that a simple set-up with a PC music server to its usb input can trounce my old K-01 with its venerable VRDS Neo transport.
So, it looks like the DAC section of the N-05 seems to play a more important role in the overall sound compared to the K-01. The AKM chip in the N-05 is the 4490 which is one step below the 4495 used in the Grandioso/K-01X/K-03X. The old K-01 had the discontinued 4399. Last edited by J2020; 05-25-2016 at 05:39 PM. |

How will the N- 05 compare to the MSB Analog DAC
Probably unfair comparison as the MSB Analog DAC with Analog Power base ,MSB Renderer Module and quad USB input costs $12585. |
