I've been getting this at odd times for a while.
The station just stops playing & buffer is 0%, hitting the restart & other buttons does nothing.
Go to another station & it instantly plays OK, even the same station with a lower bit rate (Naim 320k to 128k), then back to the one that stopped & it plays.
I've checked www & it seems its a common problem, all the makes, e.g. Sonos, Logitech, service providers & computer OS people all have it on there help desks & forums. Problem is they all have lots of words but seems like no solutions, so I'm not expecting a solution as I'm not sure there is one, it seems to be something that goes with iRadio & its probably not in the Naim machinery & is maybe a problem with the www stream ........

It's definitely from the source, SONOS, Spotify, Beats, MOG,etc in my opinion. Ive had the same problems numerous times with many services and have had to stop, restart, reboot.......it's computers after all. It's getting better with time and I'm sure it will continue to improve with version dot something.
The access to the variety of music far offsets the occasional technical frustration, at least for me.

I would assume most iRadio stations rotate their content on a monthly basis as I know Abacus.fm do this, when they do rotate the content it usually involves switching servers (ie to the server with the new content) and during this change over their can be drop outs that can cause the problems you mention.
I know in my case it means me having to do a hard reboot ( unplug from the mains/plug back in and re start ) with my Revo superconnect when the buffer wont fill.

I've a similar issue but just with podcasts on iradio.
I've described my issue here.
The strange think is that my problem is just releated to iradio podcasts and not to iradio stations.

After some more reading & asking around ......... I have come to the conclusion its caused by the individual station or something in/on the stream system.
I've had it with BBC, RP & others, so its not a specific station.
It only happens once in a while so is hard to pin down, but when it does the buffer is always showing 0% & its impossible to get the station to start again without first changing to another station & then back to the problem station.
My suspicion is the station or stream periodically switch or change something that requires the end users to remake to a new connection.

Hiya Mike
I get this occasionally as well. Finding out though, what part of the system, or at who's end is causing the problem, is another story. 
I just accept it now as part of the 'streaming deal'. I don't think it'll ever be perfect, 100% of the time, as there are so many factors out of our control.
