ND5 XS volume control via n-Stream

Posted by: ommadawn on 09 March 2013

I have just taken delivery of my ND5XS and Nait XS I have everything set up and working perfectly but I was wondering is it possible to control the volume using n-Stream. There is a section in the ref manual about system automation but I'm not sure if I am barking up the wrong tree.

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

System automation is the way to go. You have to connect the remote out of the ND5xs to the remot in of the NAIT with a cable with jack plugs. Then you need to enable system automation on the ND5xs with the settings that are mentioned in the manual. Then you will see volume buttons on the n-stream app and you can control the volume. Good luck!

My ND5xs came in yesterday. Also have the Nait XS. Not to pleased with the sound at the moment. Maybe it has to warm up for a few weeks.

It'll take about a month or two before it sounds any good. What input are you using? If Upnp lots of things need to be working properly if you haven't got the unitiserv

I use the cd input on the back of my Nait XS. On N stream this is seen as UpnP. An other thing is that I connected and hooked up the system automatisation. Now I all of a sudden own 7 -according to the N stream device- pre-amplifiers. Strange.

I've recently got an ND5XS and NaitXS.
Did this the other day with a standard (stereo) 3.5 to 3.5 cable, enabled pre amp control in system automation, opened n stream and hey presto the volume is there and works brilliantly.

Strange thing was that I have two sources into the dig inputs on ND5 and after inserting the control lead their output stopped.

My ND5 was connected to the HDD input on the Nait and I noticed that as soon as I changed to dig 1 or 2 on the ND5 the Nait automatically changed itself to the Aux 1 input.

I moved my ND5 into the Aux 1 input on the Nait and everything now works as it should.

Thanks for this post or I'd never have known that the app could control my amp.

You have to assign the Naits input you are using on the ND5XS so it must have been set to AUX1...? In Nstream you will see all the naits selectable inputs except the one the ND5 is connected to.
