Starters Tip (NAS)
Posted by: Menx on 30 December 2010
Dear fellow Naim enthusiast….
Yes, this question may have been posted next to the million times (Suggested?)
Yet, by the look of it and to the level of my understanding, need to take the
opportunity to ask for all of your appreciated knowledge, input and experience…
Well, I have a UnitiQute since some 3 weeks.
It rules, and have so far not experienced any problems, neither disappointments
with the device… The sound, POD radio, etc is brilliant for its Spec…
Today, I use a Squeezebox Touch feeding from a USD HDD as source.
The Ripping of my CD collection into FLAC and on to HDD have really boosted the
music listening, by the core ease of access, instead of flipping covers, and feeding CD trays…
However, with a Qute on the Hifi Rack, and to make the most of it, suggest I should stream
the HDD stored music from a NAS. So far so good. The use of Ipod and N-Stream also sounds
fab and in line with elimination of numerous “remote controls”
Have checked out the list of NAIM tested (recommended?) NAS devices. Many of which still
available in stores. Now to the big deal, which I haven’t been able to figure out.
To access the NAS stored music from my Qute, do I need to have a computer up and running?
Or can it steram directly from the NAS?(Only use LapTop so that would not be good)
If using a Ipod Touch and N-Stram, can the ipod stream from a NAS also for portable use?
(When In the garden, the bedroom, garage….(depending on distance from router))
Last but final, any system (NAS) suggestion for good AUDIO play back appreciated.
(Intend to use the given NAS for audio streaming only)
Some what confused, when 28 Years old, and still not up to date with this kind of things……
Times and technology development move just to fast……
