Streaming Audio

I am amazed so many have opinions on my last post, it is clearly important for us, and especially Naim. Now, I follow up with this, How does an NDS/555 rate against Chord DACS, TT, Hugo, Dave ect. I am specific about NDS/555, NOT NDX ect. I ask for a...

A nice black Hugo returning to conversion duties tomorrow. Imminent and unexpected China visits mean portability will be of benefit.   Will be interesting to compare directly with the 2Qute.   G

Is it just me or is Qobuz shrinking?  Fewer new releases and things saved as favourites suddenly no longer available?

I have recently had occasions when my normal BB speed has dropped conciderably. It is normaly between 12 and 13mbps when measured on my iPad. This is fine for my needs. However a few days ago it dropped down to 1mbps. I decided to ring sky an ask for...

As noted in another thread, I'm (now) running CDX2/282/HiCap/250.2 in my primary system and considering an NDS/US SSD/555PS so I can digitize all of my CDs. I appreciate everyone's previous thoughts about various Naim and non-Naim options, but I have...

I've been streaming for a few years, but always with CD's that I have ripped to a NAS. Having recently bought a SU, I thought now is the time to start investigating hi-res downloads. Qobus and HD Tracks seem to be two of the more popular sites from reading other posts, so that's where I started looking. Of my four most recent album purchases, this is what I found - Kylie - Light Years. On Amazon the CD is £7.74. On Qobuz it's only available as a 16-bit CD quality download priced at £11.82.

I'm close to taking the plunge on an NDS/UnitiServe SSD/555PS so I can digitize my CDs and network the library. My current setup is 202/250.2/HiCap/CDX2/Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M, but if I get the NDS, I will probably also at...

Hi folks   I updated my Unitiqute2 to the latest firmware version last night, and all went without a hitch (apart from having to lug my old PC into the living room because I don't have a laptop here!).  Anyway, all is well, apart from the...

I am serving music to my ND5 XS using PLEX Media Server, both on my Qnap NAS, and on my iMac.    The connection between my iMac and router is by WiFi. The conection between my Qnap NAS and the ND5 is by Audioquest Ethernet cables, via a...

Looking for a musical DAC under 400, any suggestions? Nad D1050 seems to get reviews with a reference of being musical...

Since more than a month I am having the problem that the Naim app won't connect anymore to my NDS. I can however get the NDS to play using the Spotify App but not the Naim software itself.   I am wondering if any of the NDS owners are having...

Excuse me if this topic has been explored to the death, but when I rip cds to my Synology by XLD, it only plays one track at a time. Ripping with iTunes does it as it should.   Is there a setting I have missed? Your help would be appreciated.

An interesting day a Julians H's today first a short country tour over Ashdown Forest in a Lotus Elise and then change over to J's Caterham. At my age the 7 was just a bit too hair shirt and literally fly in the teeth stuff, (micro aeroscreen). Great fun though. Originally a session to compare my 2qute and John's Hugo with various input and output connections. System used 552/555/500/SL2s Overall Chord Electronics 2 - NAIM NDX 0. Inter Chord battle result, Hugo 1 - 2Qute 0, close in sound,...

Following on from my topic about problems streaming HD Music over Powerline Ethernet adaptors I have now had Cat5 cabling installed and my Mu-so is connected to the main Modem/Router via a single switch (with the switch PSU on a different ring)....

Dear audiophiles,   For some years I use the following system: 152/155 XS preamp/poweramp, CD5XS, ND5XS, Headline-NAPSC and JMR Bliss speakers.   I recently got Tidal and Qobuz which I use trough the frontUSB port of the ND5XS. It was a...

we only have the Internet radio stations available on our naim device, there are lots of heart radio station but there is no heart North East, why not and how do I get it?

Does anybody knows if the Nac -172 xs has wirelles connection at 2,4 GHz or 5 GHz or both ?    : 

Anyone at Naim can tell me when ND5XS will support Tidal, like it supports Spotify?  Merci

A streamer only sees files and folders as they are stored on the server, right? Something like that, anyway, but it seems that things aren't quite that simple in Naimland. Here's a screenshot of the last played list on my Superuniti, and the same on...

I have to say that the HDX is a most wonderful music machine.   Sometimes I still need to ask some questions...   If I delete an album or several in the "downloads" folder of the HDX via Windows, all works perfectly.   I just wanted to...

and this spade is that the Naim streamer update procedure is an absolute pain and the update emperor is dancing gaily in the nip around the place.    I'm amazed at the number of apologists here for the current update process. I know the...

Any reason why it' s not working for me??.   Muso is new.. Gapless playback works fine from same feed on NDX based system.   thanks....

I have both a Unitiqute and a Unitiqute 2 in separate rooms linked to a Synology DS215J, one hard wired and one wireless.  The system has run perfectly for several months (except for the dreaded NAS firmware 5.2-5565 update, which was solved by...

I have admired Naim from afar for years, and when the MU-SO arrived could not wait to delve into the world of Naim :) and was I amazed, yes. my enquiry is to see if I can connect and play my Rega Planar3 turntable through the analogue input via a...
