Introduction
Thank you
for
purchasing your Sonata
NP30
Network Music
Player.
We are
confident
that
you will
enjoy
many
years
of
listening pleasure
from
it. Like
all
Cambridge Audio products the Sonata
NP30
adheres
to
three core principles
-
stunning
performance, ease
of
use and
Incredible value.
The
Sonata NP30
can access a wide range
of
audio from
UPnP
servers
or
local
media and
directly
from the internet such as from our own Uuvollnternet
Radio
service or Streaming Services from other
suppliers.
The free
UuVol
Radio service brings
the
best iRadio
stations
to
your
NP30
checked by us
for
reliability
and sound
quality
with over
15,000
stations
currently
available
and more being added each day.
Our
UuVol.com
website allows
you
to
suggest new stations, manage your
favourites and other settings for
several UuVol enabled
devices
at
once, find
out
about new features and Streaming Services as we add them and more.
See UuVol.com
for more
details.
Streaming
Services are services
that
come
from
partner
suppliers. These
usually
require a subscription from them with different services being
available
in
different
countries.
In
addition
to
pure internet content you can access your own
locally
stored
music from
USB
fiash-disks
or
hard-drives and network connected
UPnP
servers.
Various compressed formats are supported
plus losslessly
compressed and
uncompressed PCM/WAV up to 'better-than-CO'
24
bit content
at
24/96
which
can be obtained from
suitable download
sites.
Podcasts
are
also
supported.
High
quality
components are used throughout including a
WM8728
24
bit
1
96kHz digital
to
analog converter
(DAC)
from renowned manufacturer
Wolfson.
A proprietary audio
buffering
and re-clocking scheme re-constructs
ali
incoming
audio
clocks
inside
the
NP30
with a
set
of
precision oscillators
eliminating
jitter
and providing unprecedented sound
quality.
The
Sonata NP30 also
features an environmentally
friendly low
power (<1w)
standby circuit.
We
have
also
developed a free iPhone(iPod
Touch
application
that
allows full
wireless control
of
the
NP30
(in conjunction with a
Wi-Fi
network).
Search for
UuVol
Remote on the
Apple
App
Store
or
browse
www.UuVol.com
for
further
details
on
this
and other Apps and features as they become
available.
Ultimate
sound
quality
depends on
the
whole
of
your system,
naturally we
particularly
recommend speakers from
the
Cambridge Audio
Sirocco
range as
these have been designed
to
the same exacting standards as
this
product.
Your dealer
can
also supply excellent quality
Cambridge Audio interconnects
to
ensure your system
realises
its
full potential.
Thanks for
taking
the
time
to
read this
manual;
we do recommend you keep
it
for
future
reference.
