iPhone application for Uniti
Posted by: Snevets on 09 September 2009
Hello all,
I remember reading somewhere that you can use an iPhone to control the Uniti.
Does anyone know what application to use or if one exists?
Thanks

During the BBQ Naim people in the factory demonstrated their development of new software for the iPhone to use with the HDX. They are still working on it.
They expected that the definite software is available in nov.2009.

Plug Player. It controls a "UPnP Renderer" which I believe is the computer's media player, if I understand correctly.
I don't think it actually controls the UNiti directly. But that is a moot point i suppose.
It also allows you to control another copy of Plug Player, or stream music to your iPhone (is this how the DAC works?).
I bought a copy in order to use it to control my Foobar and it was unusable to me. Too slow, limited control, glitchy and crashtacular.

paul,
The iphone controller for the HDX will not be compatible with what the Uniti is doing. Streamnet vs UPnP.

I think what Paul was alluding to was iPhone control of the HDX analogue output not the StreamNet output which is available for download on the Apple Store now. This application is not just for the NS/HDX but for NaimNet/Netstreams in general.

There are a number of areas to UPNP.
The server, i.e. twonky media, allegro (HDX when they update the software?)
A control point, (plug player for iphone, songbook mac)
Renderer, (Uniti)
I have no idea about the new HDX software for iphone, but it will need to be a Control point in order to get music to come out of the uniti, its a simple as that.

Three applications:
1. PlugPlayer - UPnP control point OR player, used in this case to control streaming from a UPnP server (such as an HDX, running the latest software) to the Uniti (or, any other UPnP device used solely as a renderer). Does not control volume, input selection, CD transport control however.
2. Forthcoming app from Naim, used to control the local playback output from the HDX (also works with NS01 / NS02 / NS03 servers for single or multiple local outputs).
3. iLinX - used to control streaming to NaimNet room amps, IP cameras, other DigiLinX integration.
