Streaming Audio
Something strange happend: Suddenly NDS can only play tracks in random order (jumping from track 1 to track 9 to track 6......) I suppose it has something to do with the app (ipad), I tried to restart but with the same results. Thanks in advance!
Some of you may recall I previously had some issues with a UQ2 and my network which I never actually got to the bottom of. That was returned and I bought a new Linn Majik DSM. Same network, no different configurations, same hardware - not one single dropout or issue in over 2 months. However, I do miss the Naim sound and have been considering whether I just had a 'bad one' in the UQ2. I have been fortunate enough to borrow a SU for a few days and am literally running it side by side with the...
Evening All, I've been happily accessing files on my Synology NAS from both my Uniti2 & Mu-so via my HTC phone. Recently changed to an iPhone and although I can see the album folders in the Naim app I can no longer see or select any tracks. Any ideas? Thanks.
Anyone know or use this? http://www.tonido.com
On Wednesday I took my Melco N1Z over to my dealers, Signals, to have new firmware installed on the disks by Alan Ainsley, Melco's main man, and Tim Lawson from Kog audio who're the distributors. Although I'd not experienced it, apparently there was a bug in the old firmware that caused the HDDs to show an error, requiring a reboot of the player to clear. Whilst Tim dismantled the Melco, and I quaffed a cup of excellent Signals coffee, Alan explained the history of the company. I didn't...
New version of Audirvana arrived today with DSD upsampling added and a free month trial of Qobuz for Audirvana subscribers
Can someone remind me how to restore or copy files from my NAS to HDX? I know it's done in the DTC and that there is a move album monitor but can't remember how to move individual albums to the HDX.
I have recently upgraded to a 202/200 and after both units have been serviced I'm about where I want to be amp wise I do realise that a 282/250 or 272/250 are better sounding amps but I'm very, very happy with what I have at the moment. I have been offered a trade in deal for my UQute 2 against an ND5 XS that I have on home demo, if it were being used alone then the UQute would being staying with me as I have a real soft spot for what it does and how it sounds but I am only using it as a...
My Airport Extreme crapped out on me a few days ago... it's about the 4th time it's happened, so I think I'm going to go with a simpler solution... after reading some feedback on this forum it seems like an ethernet switch is the way to go. Any suggestions on a good quality switch? I picked up a cheap D-Link on the weekend, but it's going back as I'm getting drop outs with it with 24/192 material. Former Setup with Airport was as follows: Cable Modem / Wifi Point > long ethernet cable...
I seem to remember a post that indicated that the naim streamers are not identical as digital transports (i.e., using their digital output to feed into an external DAC). Could someone please remind me, AND: what might be the reason for the sonic differences: aren't all naim streamers using the same streaming module, and isn't the digital signal more or less coming directly from this module? Many thanks! Stefan
I am trying to stream via Qobuz in CD quality from my laptop to DAC using the windows application. There is a WASAPI mode and a WASAPI exclusive mode. From what I understand exclusive mode is the way to go for bit perfect transfer to the DAC without other apps being able to interfere with the sound. I cannot get the WASAPI exclusive mode to work properly. It crackles during playback. I am using a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC into a NAC62/NAP180. I have tried increasing the buffer size and cache...
At the moment I have 200Gb of apple lossless playing off a mac mini through audivarna linked to iTunes . I haven't updated the DAC V1 I'm not great a software etc and would be very grateful if someone could advise the best way forward - upgrade the DACV1 - does it have to be tested again with bit perfect - whatever that is! - move on to the newest audivarna - use this instead of iTunes? use their iPad remote some idiot proof instructions would be hugely appreciated Thanks!
A few nights ago, I hosted a dinner and invited guests to append songs to a playlist using an iPad and the Spotify app into my NDX. For all its deficiencies, this works very well for me and the family , usually. But, during the party, guests were constantly f*****g the play list. After, I was inspired to revisit the Squeezebox Touch and iPeng Party, to see if it even works any more. Does it ever! This seems to be THE answer to the problem. Offer the guests iPeng Party and they queue up with...
Does anyone know how to do this or even if its possible? The UnitiServe manual on page 24/25 states that music must first be downloaded to a PC and then copied across to the Downloads area of the US, but I cant see how I can do this with files from Deezer. Can anyone help? Many thanks Ray
Ever since Phil Harris recommended it to help diagnose network problems (see http://forums.naimaudio.com/topic/spotify-airplay-app-and-upnp-discovery-issues ) some forum members have been using this handy little app. I just happened to notice an announcement today that there's now an Android version available, which some might find useful. It also includes a WiFi tool, which Apple will not allow on the iOS version.
It looks like the new release of iTunes (12.4) has temporarily "broken" BitPerfect - songs play for a few seconds and then repeat. I've had to disable BitPerfect to play anything, so no automatic bits and sample rates for now. No doubt it's all BitPerfect's fault of course, not Apple's - naturally ��. Maybe it really is time to look for an alternative to iTune$...
Currently, my system comprises of: HDX, SuperNait 1 and Neat Motive SX2. I’m very happy with the sound quality and have no need to upgrade … but … my HDX is one of the earlier models (the one with the 2x 400 GB drives and no PCI/RAM upgrade. As far as know, no streaming services will be incorporated in the HDX. Since I’m also the happy owner of a mu-so Qb, I’m listening a lot to the Tidal streaming service included, in fact: so much that I haven’t bought a new CD ever since. So I went to my...
Can a 272 (or I guess any Naim streamer for that matter) find and play music off a VortexBox? Since it runs LMS I don't see how it could, but I am by no means an expert. My VB also has Samba Server & DLNA server, but I am not sure that means anything. I might have a line on a 1 year old 272 for a good price, but I don't want to jump into the weeds and find out I have just bought myself a bunch of headaches and more unexpected expense before I can use it.
Hi A mate of mine, not on the forum, has a Qu-b and has the app running on his Samsung mobile. However, the only radio options listed are: Any ideas as to why he's not getting the full list of options? Many thanks
Wondering where theoretically the earth should be established for an HDX-nDAC-202 setup. It sounds best to me on the DAC, but trying to get my head around if the HDX or the DAC is the 'source'.
Thought I ought to share this with those of you who have been struggling with Tidal drops outs, are looking for "direct" Qobuz streaming and would like both of these in one control app also with access to your ripped music. Apologies to those already in the know - but this was news to me. Thanks to Blenheim for pointing this out to me (see the last few posts on the "Tidal Keeps Stopping on the NDS" topic). I gave it a go last night and it worked first time. No drop outs on Tidal, access to...
After the High End 2016, there are tons of new streaming devices / vendors soon out there. DAS Model 2 (digitale audio systeme) calls my attention- does anybody know this company? thx, ralf
Hello, I want to know whether the signal out din connections (A or B, not sure the difference between them) can be sent to SONOS connect RCA inputs. I want to get SONOS speakers but continue to use cd, vinyl. Has anyone done this? If so, where did you purchase the cable? thanks Jamie
Hello All , I have a 2TB Unitiserve and DesktopClient on my PC, all wired connected by LAN and all was working well until I've made some changes in the LAN configuration. I've resolved all the connection problems you can imagine and all is fixed now ... except ... : the "downloads" folder has disappeared from the "scannable network shares" in Desktop Client. Windows explorer is seeing perfectly Unitiserve unit and his folders, especially the "downloads" folder and all of its contents. But I...
I stream music in various parts of my house via the same network, which has one hard drive and an NDS, an ND5-XS, and a NAC 272 connected to play music in different (nearly) stand-alone systems or through the whole house system. I sometimes use Spotify and/or Tidal to listen to music before I buy it (so I tend to have a running "to do" list of songs/albums to sample in "Your Music" as opposed to specific playlists, which I've never made). I am set up to control the streamers with multiple...
