Qobuz music streaming facility and NDX

Posted by: MarcB on 03 April 2013

I just bought a NDX to update my hi-fi system. At this time you need a PC to run the Qobuz player to access the streaming facility, and you cannot use the NDX only as you would do i,e for an internet radio.

Does anybody knows if Naim has a plan to include à Qobuz player into the NDX and update the n-stream app to support this function, or what could be a solution using some external device keeping the quality level of the streamed music.

As Qobuz only seems to be available in France I doubt this is high on Naim's agenda. To this day they haven't incorporated Spotify yet, which is a global service. Although, given their partnership with Focal, who knows. In the meantime, your best bet would be to get something like an Airport Express or Apple TV, if using Apple, or a Sonos or Squezbox (they work all both platforms, IOS/OS, PC and Android) connected via a digital coax cable to your NDX. Of course you could just use a standard PC or Mac via SPDIF converter.
