There has been an issue where some inputs, including Chromecast, have allowed the unit to go into standby incorrectly when music is playing. I’m not sure if the recent 4.6 firmware update has a fix for this, but Naim are aware of the issue.

Updated Nova today.  Still goes to standby when music playing via Chromecast which is a real shambles in the last few weeks since Qobuz updated their app - songs restart after a few seconds, and despite the Nova being wired some HD songs stutter like mad as though they'r constantly reloading. While it could be my network I don't think it is as the Nova should easily be able to pull the stream from Qobuz servers which I assume are what's at fault.  (~ 73 Mbps down, 17 Mbps up).

Analogue inputs still cause unit to switch off in the latest firmware on my Atom. It's bloody annoying. Works for Roon and Spotify ok though.
