I purchased a Qb yesterday for the kitchen - sounds great but my question relates to setup. I used the Naim App to set up and connect to the network which was quick and easy. My only concern is that I was not asked for the network password, I simply had to connect to the wireless network name. I do recall somewhere in the process that there was a box for entering a password (and another box for verifying it) but this was marked optional so I did not enter.
Any clues why I did not have to enter my network password? My wireless network is secure by the way.

From memory, I don't think you have to. Somehow it just works. While doing setup, make sure you turn loudness off and set the distance from the wall correctly.

Thanks, I have changed the loudness and distance settings.
I am wondering whether the reason no password was required is that i used the naim app on the iPad to setup, which is itself already connected to the network.

Thanks Richard, that is what I suspected.
A further puzzle - the manual states that over a wireless network the maximum file format is 48kHz but I am currently listening to a 96kHz file without any issues.

The stated maximum resolution over wireless is really just a recommendation to play it safe. The Qb will attempt to stream any supported file format over a wireless connection, and will do so without any downsampling (as was incorrectly stated in a number of reviews at the time of the product launch). My Qb can happily stream 24/192 wirelessly.
