Streaming Audio

I've finally made it into streaming audio and have bought dbpoweramp to rip my cd collection to flac. Overall I'm pleased with my modest setup using a Raspberry Pi to serve up files to my Beresford dac. My question though is how best to set up naming...

Took me months of introspection to sort a similar problem last year so now i will come straight to the fountain of knowledge that is the forum.   My apartments have finally been kitted out with high speed fibre optic broadband and because i've...

As you may know I am in the process of digitally archiving my vinyl. This is a long, and let's not beat about the bush, tedious process, only relieved by the joy of rediscovering and plain discovering some great music ....and unfortunately some...

Hi all - the other day my router started failing (obviously not NAIM's fault here) but I thought I'd revert to the Optical input to listen to an external music source connected to the MuSo whilst I didn't have internet connectivity.   The problem...

Hello.   I've had my Muso for 6 months after selling my hi-fi to try and compromise with the wife and still keep some decent sounds in the lounge.   I'm very pleased with how the Muso looks and for what it is it sounds very good.  ...

The latest Qobuz newsletter contains a fascinating description of their investigation into a Sonos Connect to see if can potentially be updated for hi res. The short answer is probably not but it's well worth a read and if nothing else demonstrates...

My UnitiServe is in for repairs again and the end result will be repaired unit or possible replacement. Unfortunately, was unable to batch convert from WAV to FLAC before sending it in again. If lucky enough to receive a sealed replacement I'll sell...

Whats the situation on firmware. My nds has 3.22 and I only read bad things about 4.1. Should I wait for next one also with dsd? Thx Lars

Since the clocks adjusted forward by 1 hour for British summertime my Lite resolutely refuses to play ball and still shows winter time.   I have tried resetting off internet time and when that fails plussing by 1 hour. Still it shows one hour...

Although I am yet to audition one, on paper a UnitiLite might be the solution to what we are looking for. I am looking for a one box solution to replace my Arcam/Kenwood/Kef separates. We have listened to various combinations of Japanese systems and are coming up wanting. Is anyone using a UnitiLite on say £200 bookshelf speakers, I have a set of Kef Q15 on Atacama stands and its not an option to change them at the moment. i will try and audition a UnitiLite with my Kefs before deciding but...

Hi Everyone,   Proud new owner of a DAC-V1.   Quick question for you.  I was wondering if there is any way of turning the "Naim" logo light in front of the DAC off?   I have done a search through the forums yet couldn't really find...

So after ripping over 600 CD's to my U-Serve, the pile of CDs that I have been unable to rip, or have had issues ripping, is growing.  It's only about 12 CD's so far, which isn't too bad, but i figured now is the time to address the issue.  ...

Hi,   Does anybody use the lumin app instead of the original Naim app to control their NDX/NDS (like others do with their Linn player)?   Best regards Rolf

I have purchased the Lightning to USB connector kit from apple and can now play directly from my Iphone 6 into the DAC V1 through the USB input. I don't think the third party kits from  non apple vendors will work.   It is something very...

Hi,   I have nStream installed on both an iPad Air and an iPhone 6.   Using the iPad, the volume control is there on the "now playing screen", but is missing on the iPhone.   Same App surely?   Any ideas?    Dave.

Hi sorry for my first post being a cry for help but I have 4 days left for a full refund. 1. Won't work with my logitech harmony remote.  Anything I can do to fix this? 2. Is there a front end I can use to control like the squeezebox and logitech...

I'm testing the lossless streaming service Deezer Elite from Sonos connect into the digital coaxial input of the NDX which gives, in my opinion, a very good SQ. I tried different albums streamed through Deezer compared with the...

If the thought of having to move playlists is preventing you from moving to a new service then you may want to look at Soundiiz.com. It also works on Deezer, Qobuz and a whole host more. it is also free at the moment.   david

I used to have this on the ipad and I have to change the ipad time to UK time to circumvent this problem. Now I have the V1.3 on my Andorid 4.4.4 phone and it is doing the same thing, did not have this before. What's up on the daylight saving thing?...

One of the forum members here said he couldn't tell any difference between this and a Chord Hugo.   That got me interested and apparently Andrew Everard said during his review that he thought it compared very favourably with very expensive...

I am exploring the option of moving into an all digital environment (no CD).  I recently bought  a Muso to help me familiarise myself with the current trends, and my next step would be to introduce a Naim DAC and/or streamer; but I am...

I'm really quite fond of my simple setup:   UnitiQute with Rega RS1's       Was wondering if you guys thought I should upgrade the cable?     An audio buddy suggested:   ChordCo SilverScreen     or  ...

I received a remedy today on a weeks trial. £350 buys you a piece of hardware which improves the jitter supposedly of your source and plugs between the source and DAC. I was intrigued to see what this could do after seeing some online reviews. After a session today my first impressions were: Positives: Bass is the most notable improvment. The bass seems more controlled and solid. Space and separation seem to improve. Trebles are less harsh. Negs: It may be the change in treble but the sound...

I've a question dealing with switching between the Tuner module and the UPnP source via the Android app.   Given following scenario: 1) I select an album of my NAS and start playing it. 2) During playback of my album, I switch to a radio station...

Hi, I have just bought a Naim Mu-so and I am pleased on how it sounds. However, I have my music on Google play in my Samsung Galaxy S4, Lollipop OS. As I stream to the Mu-so using Bluetooth aptX, there are 1 or 2 audio drop off for a fraction of...
