I turned the iPhone off and no dropouts as soon as I turned it back on it started up, Spotify would stop streaming and then play a bit and then stop.

 

I will try and emulate this again tonight!

This is why i'll be keeping the Sonos Connect hooked up to "Digital1". It seems to be able to handle no end of simultaneous connections and thats great at Christmas when the whole family can work on a playlist together.

Even more exciting IMHO is that Audinirvana are currently working on Qubuz integration for their software.

Yep, this is an exciting development, especially if it's incorporated into the Remote app.  I particularly like the statement on the site that says that Quboz will come first (I.e. the prospect of other services being integrated).

 

The downside, potentiallily is having all eggs in one basket.

 

Tick tick, tick tick....,,

Hi, I just want to thank Phil and the team at Naim.  I installed the new update and it works great.  I think spotify is a fantastic way to learn about new music or play pop hits I have zero interest in owning, but of course would love to hear.  I think it sounds very good--we are spoiled by lossless and high res music. I also find this a great way to appeal to younger consumers--like myself-- and keep the Naim relevant to a new generation.
