Help, please - NDS in house, but can't play Spotify

Posted by: Mostly Drummer on 07 November 2015

First, thanks to all who helped in getting me to this point. I now have NDS, 555DR PS, and US SSD in house and love them. They fit the bill perfectly for my needs, including the very simple setup, and most importantly, they sound great.

I got around to downloading the Spotify app tonight (I already had an account) and it appears to be working perfectly when launched from inside the Naim app, but even while a song appears to be playing I'm getting no sound. The NDS shows Spotify as the selected input on its screen, and I've switched to UPnP to play music from my NAS drive, which worked fine, and then back to Spotify and still got nothing. Any ideas on what I might be missing?

Tidal is next...

Thanks!

Never mind. I found a tiny icon in the Spotify app with which I could set Spotify to play to the NDS (it was instead playing to the iPad that has the Naim and Spotify apps on it). I thought the Spotify app was fully integrated into the Naim app so didn't realize this was a necessary step. Thanks.

Suggest you give Tidal a try with the 3 months free trial. SQ much better and fully integrated into the naim app.

The Tidal mobile app works very well also, and give you the option to download CD-quality as well as 320kbps if you have the space on your device.
