I hope there might be in the tech-world many advances, so that we should by now have an easy way out to stream Spotyfi..

 

Appreciate your replies in advance ..

Hi Paddy, you're not searching the right way I think.  There are threads about how to play Spotify on Naim very often here, and I know of at least one with responses as recently as two days ago.

 

Lots to read here

Paddy here's a few places where Hook has written about his use of a bluetooth audio device to stream Spotify from an iPad; this would work with a Uniti2 as well

Here's a thread about someone using Sonos Connect to get Spotify:

The answer is -- none of the Naim hardware support Spotify directly, so you need some other device to send it from a computer or iDevice to your Uniti2.  My vote would be a simple bluetooth audio device.

But I just did what someone suggested in the other topic: I connected an iphone to my nac n172's front usb and played one track from itunes library. Then I switched to spotify and pressed play. And now I'm listening to Jon Hopkins and can even see the track info on nac's display! So what happened? I tried this before on my ipad and it wasnt working...
