Nothing has been announced.  The only people that know are Naim employees and they are not permitted to share this information.

If you need Tidal now i would look elsewhere. However the NDX is a great local streamer though.

Which will last longer -- your next streamer, or Tidal as a going concern?

 

Just one way to think about options and decisions as a consumer.

Monty, ask yourself why you want an NDX in the first place.

That is a bogus question, you have no way to anticipate the longevity or brevity of Tidal as a business operation, in addition long-term much of the music market is moving towards subscription streaming. Having a high-res streaming option available on a device is absolutely a critical capability in many peoples purchase decision.

agreed. I've spent 2 years ripping my 3000 CDs and listen more to Tidal than i do to the rips. Vital Naim support various streaming sites including Tidal

Monty, you run a Mac Mini as do i. I also have an NDX, and for me i prefer the Mini In SQ terms. I Also have an Aurender on loan and prefer this to both. It also has Tidal integration 

 

But if you prefer the NDX then there are other solutions for Tidal. Although i think you are correct that these services need to be incorporated into Naim's solutions.
