Firmware 3.21 available NOW! Mac version too!!
Posted by: badlyread on 13 August 2013
Has anybody downloaded this yet? Comments?
Mac version but the hi-fi is in boxes for major decorating!!!
Does it work for files ripped in WAV?
It does - on the ND5 XS. Moving the slider on n-Stream seems to be a bit slower with WAV-files than with flac, but ceratainly I am able to scroll through WAV-files (using Playback as UPNP-application and streaming with cable-LAN from the hard disk of a MacMini - most simple setup I know).
Is there any way to use seek2time besides n-Stream, i.e with the remote control or directly on the streamer? I think the small bar on my iPhone with n-Stream isn't precise enough to search a certain "spot" in the music. I mostly "jump" too far, or too short.
Having got over my crisis and successfully installed the new firmware on my ND5XS I can confirm that Seek2Time works on PCM WAV files transcoded from both FLAC and SACD ISO files using JRiver.
Not tried S2T using the handset remote but it certainly works with nstream on the ipad.
I am updating my wife's MacBook Air just for this release. I hope everything will be alright since I have some bad experience in updating my NDS from 3.15 to 3.17 using someone's windows laptop.
A happy updated SuperUniti for me! Is s2t and multiroom really the only new thing?
I only have one device, and like to listen to the whole song ...
I really hoped for a new nstream app with improved layout. Maybe next year
Regards.
Seek2Time does not respond to the remote and as far as I can see you can't add this function via the Handset Keys settings.
The DSP image has changed in this release so what's the consensus on how 3.21 sounds? Is it a change for the better? Patrick seems to think so on this thread https://forums.naimaudio.com/to...rmware-3-21-fault-36.
The Hama USB Adapter, Serial 9 pin, SKU #00053325v2 worked flawlessly with my previous Naim Uniti.

I don't think the sound signature is changed. My SU sound apparently the same.
I haven't seen any claims from Naim that the new firmware release will improve sound quality. Presumably they would have highlighted any such improvements if they had engineered/noticed any
Cough, cough... Apparently Seek2time isn't working (at least when transcoding to WAV with Asset).
Thanks for reporting this Murkku -- saves me the bother of doing this firmware upgrade.

Hi Hook,
may be it is too premature to jump into conclusions. I just updated my NDS to V3.21 - without any problems. In parallel I downloaded the latest version of nstream (V3.3). And although I am transcoding from FLAC to WAV in Asset seek2time works fine for me...

Just updated my NDS - flawless process. And.... Seek to time with Asset transcoding to WAV from FLAC works for me too... Thanks Naim!
Maybe a fix was in the new N Stream app which I also downloaded today.

Confirmed!
The new N-Stream 3.3 fixed the transcoding/seek2time problem.
2nd try on a NDS was successful......Mac Package is more than was expected. Well done finally. Thanks to the development team of NAIM.
Forgot to mention, I used the Mac updater - I also run Win 7 under parallels, but thought I'd give the native updater a go. Worked well, so hopefully no more complaints from the Mac owners club.
Im having problems on my mac with the updater I followed instructions but the installer dosent recognise my usb to min usb cable in the drop down window, I have downloaded the usb update . which also for some reason doesn't want o run as .dmg
Hi Mohamad, the .dmg is a disk image. When you double click it you should find a new disk in finder within which should be the installer.

Brilliant many thanks , I got it and updated my Uniti2 , working perfectly
but what is seek2time and how to use it
Hi guys,
Update process went flawless, 15 min, done. NStream is alos updated now. Seek2Time works perfectly well with all file formats; I use Assett UpnP on a wired pc. Some people made note of problems with Internet Radio; I have no problems whatsoever.
well managed update Naim !
It's a miracle - I've managed the update without help from my son! It all works perfectly and the seek to time function in the app is smooth as can be.
Mohammed,
Seek2Time is simply that in nStream you are able to now drag the time slider to fast forward / fast backwards in a track.
Enjoy!
