Naim's new streamers firmware

Posted by: ZedoMac on 06 September 2013

Hi there,

New on this forum, I would like to know if someone tried to update a ND5 XS with the 3.21 firmware version. It worth the risk?

Thanks a lot guys

If you look upon it as a risk, then it's probably not for you !!

...unless you want 'seek to time' and all that other good stuff that goes with it...

 

But as long as you take the trouble to read and follow the instructions that come with the update file, the whole process will be like a walk in the park

 

(trust me - I was once never a used car salesman)

I have remained on 3.17 and nstream 3.2

i resolved an album art issue today that was related to synology NAS so now my current setup does everything I desire without any issues at all.

unless Naim release a major functionality benefit, I think I will freeze!

good luck though if you go for it.

ATB, Anton

It is certainly not a mandatory upgrade.  But if you would like the improved functionality and are intimidated by the process, why not take your streamer in and have your dealer do it?

Thank you all.

Anton, you know what I mean, don't you?

Rjstaines, thank you, but I've read all the instructions!

The problem I'm experiencing is that, after download and instal the r232 driver on my Macbook Pro, the driver doesn't appear on the system profile hence I'm affraid that the computer will not communicate with the ND5 and the update will freeze it after!

The other issue about it is that we don't have a real distribuitor here in Portugal, so I cannot the the streamer to make the update.

All the best

Do you know someone with a Windows laptop that can bring it over for a visit?
