Anyone having trouble getting Radio Paradise 320kbs ? Mine won't connect. All other stations are fine.

Same here.. In Naim's choice Avro Klassiek is now 64kbs. When you connect it through 'Location' sub menu it is still 256kbs.

 

Buffer level has wildly varied and there have been many dropouts at Naim 320kbs tonight.

Avro Klassiek has been like that already awhile. Concerning RP the problem seems to be new. At least earlier today afternoon Naim Radio worked just fine here though.

So I'm not the only one.  Been trawling through the other stations but nothing else will do.

I'm having the same issue with Radio Paradise 320kbs. I have confirmed that it is available via the standard internet route to my PC but that is obviously limited to 192kbs.

 

With regard to Avro Klassiek I'm getting that at 256kbs but could not receive it at all earlier today.

RP seems to connect normally now. Avro is still at 64 kb/s though (through Naim's choice).

Agreed RP now back.

 

I'm listening to Avro Klassiek just now and it appears to be 256kbs MP3. I loaded it as a preset some time ago via the Naim Recommended page.

I had the same problem around the same date. Clearly there was something wrong with RP. It's been playing great the last few days. I listen to almost nothing else

It may not have been RP as I did a trace route to their IP at the time and a hub somewhere in the US was not responding.

OK, I meant RP as a service together with all the route their packets take Worth remembering that the Internet has not been designed for real time traffic in the first place

It holds up remarkably well then if that's the case.

True - just like telephone lines held up remarkably well transmitting data (although they were designed for voice)... A lot of technologies are not used the way they were designed to, but sometimes those initial concept limitations do cause problems.

 

The whole point behind the Internet was redundancy so that when one node gets hit by an atomic bomb, the message can be automatically re-routed via another node. It was for text messages, not multimedia and definitely not real time.
