Naim Radio launched.
Posted by: Claus-Thoegersen on 14 May 2013
Saw this on the Naim FB page, and it is showing up under Naim's choice on my ns01. I do not really favor stations without humans but of course since it is Naim I am checking it out.
Thanks for the heads up Claus.
Yes, it's up and running through my Uniti also, 320 bit rate.
All good!
Thanks Claus, the Qute/100 is playing it with all its mite!!
Nice alternating with Radio Paradise.
Good spot.
Same as Radio Raradise 320k, buffer drop at Hong Kong use NDX
Not true, Radio Paradise is AAC whereas Naim is MP3.

At same bit rate, isn't AAC superior?
The link above is not working for me tonight. It must be slammed with enthusiastic listeners.
Excellent so far! Definitely much more jazz than you ever get on RP! Fun to move between the two - guaranteed to hear something great at any given moment.
At the risk of stating the obvious, here's a tip - monitor RP from their website while listening to Naim radio and jump when a favorite comes on. This way you don't have the disruption of jumping back and forth. ;-)
Hi Engjoo,
Can solve it by firmware ?
Cheers,
Marco
MP3 is inferior to AAC.
I have been listening to it and find that MP3 @ 320 suits the type of music it's currently playing, mostly jazz and accoustic, better than RP's ACC. On the other hand anything a little bit heavier sounds harsh and flat . Early days yet but unless they diversify their playing list, limited Naim catalogue, other radio stations have very little to fear.

My first impression is that the music played on this station is an excellent choice and offers lots of variety. It is really an addition to what is currently offered certainly bearring in mind the good sound quality. I also appreciate the performer and applicable album is displayed with every song.

I have the same problem that Marcobb describes (in Singapore), but I have it with all iRadio streams that are 320k, not just Naim Radio.
I would very much like this problem solved in a firmware upgrade, if practicable.
Having said that, the lower bit-rate stream is much more stable, and still sounds good.

I think this problem should not be appear in nowadays.
Naim Audio, please investigate this issue seriously, then can let all peoples who face this problem to enjoy the high quality radio.
a wish list item: it would be great if they had a playlist cue so I could reference what was played after listening to several tunes, Like RP has and many radio stations. Naim....a possibility somehow?! ;-)


After reading this thread, I had a brief listen and liked what I heard.
The quality of the 320 stream was very apparent. I think it will
act as a good shop window for Naim Label. Good step forward.

Love the new radio station.Great sounding,despite it being mp3 .Does not have the choice of music that PR radio or that Scots radio station has,(don't want to mention their name) but a great start. PS.As an Englishman I would vote for the Scots Independence!
I really like the new station from Naim. What concerns the sound quality I believe it is even better than RP. ( 320 stream ).
The Naim station is already proving its value.
I've heard several artists I haven't previously
explored and, in particular, Jim Gailloreto's
Shadow Puppets. The only question is: do I
buy the CD...or go for the hidef DL? I like it
a lot, so I'm thinkin' hidef...24/96.

On my first day of listening I bought one hd album. I really like the pricing Naim has for hd vs cd, with a price difference of about 2 euros, I do not hecitate to go for 24 bit downloads. On the Linn site the price really makes the cd an attractiv choice, but then why have all the 24 bit capabilities and make the price so unattractive.
Hi,
Congratulations and thanks to Naim for the new radio station, very good quality and music selection. Been enjoying it for a week with much pleasure.
Thanks.
