Hey folks...have any of you received the Indiegogo emails for this new digital streaming product platform from a new company called Nativ. Their product seems quite attractive (I think of it as a high-end Sonos) and it's called Vita. It comes with an 11.6" screen and you can have up to 4TB on board. Supports all the digital formats thru PCM 32/384 and DSD 256 and will stream wirelessly or wired. Supports Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, and Roon and they will support MQA soon! Also supports video. Also has a partnering product called Wave which is a hi-res DAC and headphone amp. Supports multi-room streaming to multiple products wirelessly as well. Seems interesting and a step up from Sonos is my take on it but could be much more than that. The Indiegogo drive is about to end in 2 days and I have been receiving these emails for last couple of months and ignoring them but paid attention today. The Indiegogo pricing is quite attractive assuming the full retail prices end up being what they are showing today.

Here's a TAS article on it: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/innovative-new-music-server-launches-on-indigogo/
Here's Nativ's website: http://www.nativsound.com/en/
Here's the Indiegogo drive page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nativ-high-res-music-system-touchscreen-control#/

If anyone has checked these out or has ordered either or both products, would be interested in hearing about it. Also any thoughts generally from the above would also be appreciated. At these prices, might be worth a go.
 
Dan...thanks. Did you end up ordering just the Vita (and if so did you order the basic or 2TB or 4TB version) or did you also order the Wave (DAC and headphone amp) and the associated power supply called Pulse?

Had you heard anything else about these beyond what's in the news? Any impressions from folks or industry pundits who have heard the prototypes?

Thanks,

Cyril
 
Just the basic Vita.

If it functions and sounds good, I'll put an SSD in it.

Cyril.......I have receive at least a dozen emails for Nativ. They continuously ask for advanced financial support on a product that is not ready to be delivered. Their network player doesn't impress me, particularly the physical layout. Now if it had a ripping transport onboard and had a form factor that allows rack installation without requiring the top shelf location, I might find myself more interested.
 
Cyril.......Got another email this morning. I don't know how they got my email address. I'm not crowd funding their venture. They are becoming a pest.
