It has to be said that after living with HDX and various Naim amps over the last few years.....the SU is a pretty impressive bit of kit.
And that's just with WAV from nas(HDX back up when it was around).
Shame that under ill advice I converted everything to WAV from flac and don't get the full benefit from the ap. (When playing artists and album name are 'unknown' ) on SU display.
Great one box solution, yet to try anything hi-res.

Yes, the SU is a great piece of kit. Obviously no match for much more expensive kit at HDX level, but still very good for what it is. If you can't see your metadata, presumably you ripped on the HDX, but converted to FLAC on a different device. To make the metadata visible on a different NAS/UPnP server you would have needed to convert it to FLAC on the HDX before you got rid of it.

Well surprisingly I don't think the SU is far behind HDX, SN+HCDR!
I had the HDX originally set to flac and was told Wav was better. So changed it all in the HDX. that must have changed it all in the NAS. HDX sold and too late.

If you have a friendly dealer, you might be able to borrow a demo HDX or Unitiserve, and use it to convert the files back to FLAC. This should give you files with metadata that is readable by non-Naim servers.
