Wifi volume control on Naim pre

Posted by: Arthur Bye on 17 January 2018

Is there a way to control the analog volume on a Nac 552 through wifi?

After having a Nac 272, I am totally smitten with controlling everything through my iPad. Well done Naim!

Now I would like that same single control point on my main system (NDS/552/500) The Naim app allows pretty much full control over everything except the volume control with the NDS is there any kind of work around for this? Perhaps some kind of third party wifi remote control re-sending unit?

i don't really want to have to wait around for the Nac-572 pre at whatever insane price it will be.

Full disclosure: I do find the actual remote control (NARCOM-4 and NDX/Uniti remote) is more accurate and sensitive setting the volume — there is an irritating lag when using Wi-Fi. Still, better than nothing. I think the digital volume controls, with numeric display like on Qute, are easier to control over Wi-Fi than the analog POTs.
