I've asked about this but it does not seem as though there are plans to implement it.
Astonishing that it was missed out really on something [the HDX] which is a flagship device.
Given that the Serve/HDX have RS232 ports one would think a solution could be engineered via an IR dongle of serial cable to the optional RS232 interface on the preamplifier.

I am tempted to just use the Serve now to provide the stream to nDAC, but the biggest wish for the Serve (and HDX for that matter) would be to control the volume on the preamp straight from the n-Serve app (as you will now be able to do with NDX / n-Stream)
Surely, Naim could manufacture a small receiver that plugs into the current preamps to enable this feature that was left out of the Serve and HDX (i.e. the output connection to enable control of the preamps volume)?
Careful what you wish for - volume control in n-stream is not good - too insensitive to be useful and I often use the remote.I am tempted to just use the Serve now to provide the stream to nDAC, but the biggest wish for the Serve (and HDX for that matter) would be to control the volume on the preamp straight from the n-Serve app (as you will now be able to do with NDX / n-Stream)

Is there volume control on the current version of n-stream? I thought it will be available in the next release.Tog

I'm using a Uniti and have a slider for volume control,

Tog,
If you are having sensitivity issues on the n-Stream volume control you can change the "Max Volume" of the app volume slider. This changes the volume level at the top end of the slider giving you more control. It has no effect on the remote control handset volume operation

HDX SP2 will have some important bug fixes. It does not have any major new features but it will be an important release.

Are we close now to the update?

Does current version of n-stream work differently depending on which unit (Uniti, Qute, NDX) you are using it with? Why would the volume slider not be available when it is connected to NDX?
I like the "Max Volume" feature. Very neat.

@Tog - Yes
@Asenna04 - The NDX is a source component and does not have a volume control. When n-Stream connects to NDX the volume buttons are in fact for the NDX to control Naim preamps via IR. Because the Naim preamps cannot feedback the position of the volume knob via IR is is more appropriate to have buttons controlling the volume than a slider.

TJ,I realise that the NDX does not have volume control. What I am asking is does the current release of n-stream have volume control of the preamp through the NDX? I also realise that the NDX needs to be connected to the preamp via a 3.5mm to RC5 lead.
The n-stream I have seen did not have any volume control options when it is connected to the NDX. What do you need to do to get volume buttons?
On a separate note, I have always found the volume buttons on a standard preamp remote to be very sensitive i.e. you have to press very gently or else you can raise the volume too much. Is it possible to be able to customise the sensitivity of the volume buttons?

Make sure that System Automation is properly set up on the NDX in the first place.

Aha! I knew there was a configuration somewhere. Thanks.ASenna04

SP2 should be out this coming week all being well (mainly fixes rather than additional features) and my understanding is that SP3 would be two or three months down the line...

At least on the older remotes (haven't tried with the HDX remote), fine adjustments are possible through double clicking-and-holding the volume button.

@ASenna04: as EJS says, if you double-click-hold the vol+ or vol- button on your remote, then the volume knob moves at about half the rate of a single-click-hold. Also, a quick click-release moves the volume knob a prescribed amount every time.

Frank.

Yes, I know about the double click feature, but I find that too difficult to use. If you dont do it right then the volume jumps up too far.
What I am suggesting is that it should be quite simple to activate the double click feature as your standard volume adjustment when you adjust the volume through the n-Stream. It can be an option in the settings to switch it on or off.
