I have an Echo Dot connected to my Amptastic Mini 1 via a mini jack plug in the dot to RCA plugs into the amp. The lead cost about 3 quid on Amazon. Sounds ok, but when I tried my laptop using the same lead but into its headphone socket I thought the sound was a bit better, a bit livelier and detailed somehow. And this was using Spotify's free version (the one with adverts) as opposed to Amazon Prime with the Dot.
My hearing is pretty crap, and speakers used are just some Celestion 5s, which aren't the most revealing of speakers, but I could tell the difference. I imagine your Naim gear will be rather more revealing.

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
