Streaming Audio
I have Uniti2 hooked up to B&W 805D via tellurium black cables , This setup sounds fantastic on high volumes around 40-45 (on the volume Dial) ,but it dose not t sing much on lower volumes . I guess the B&W are power hungry!. I was twondering is it better to add a power amplifier to the Uniti2 like the Supernait 2 , or is it better to change the Uniti2 to Superuniti, I really don't use the CD at all these days and I depend on Qobuz mainly
Why do I have to be some sort of computer tech whizkid to listen to my music? Please advise if possible. I am running the latest BT broadband superhub with an ethernet connection to my Seagate NAS. I also run ethernet connections to my Superuniti and...
I thought I would throw this topic out there since there seems to be a clear dilineation between a preference for either building a personal music collection (whether that is on physical media or buy purchasing downloads to store permanently) or a...
Is anyone aware of a portable HDD that comes with DLNA/UPNP capability embedded? I'm looking for something very simple that can perform like a NAS to stream music to a Sony system. It's for my brother-in-law who might shell out £100 but not £300 for a 'proper' NAS. Thanks
I've been using my laptop (retina macbook pro) + NAS as a media server feeding my NDX. I'm making some changes to my listening space and want to liberate the laptop. I will be buying a mac mini + NAS to use as my media server. The computer will...
Two versions offered. Soft float and hard float. Does it matter which?
Hi. looking at cable or building one myself, if I go with Chord (or anyone else), is it the 2 RCA to 4 pin DIN cable? Thanks in advance
I notice that the NAC-N272 is DSD compatible. Is there any chance that DSD capability will be offered as a retrofit upgrade to the original Naim DAC, which I own?
Hello All, I am a COMPLETE newbie in the streaming topic and i have a simple question, excuse in advance. I am highly considering a HDX in order to store my CD library. I understand in terms of Specs the HDX also has streaming...
Hi, my HDX 2TB (2014, 1.7b) has got a new habit: After having run for say 5-6 hrs it goes offline and shows "please wait" in the display. It stays there. I can shut it down pressing the front button, then it will reboot after main switch off/on and...
My US after just being repaired in December by the new USA distributor has crapped out again regarding ripping CD's. I've reached the end of my rope so from advice here I need to bulk convert WAV to FLAC and set my QNAP to serve. I'll have the US...
Or should that be Mu-si? I've just purchased one of these and I've got to say I'm very impressed. So much so in fact that I'm considering purchasing another. I've read that you can control more than one unit using iTunes. Can anyone confirm if this is...
Hi to everyone, I own a fresh unitiserve 2tb and I have a few problems with flac reproduction. The connection I use is unitiserve to audiolab m-dac with naim digital cable and from m-dac to naim nac282 with other digital cable. The flac files...
Following the demise of Simple Audio I have bought very cheaply a couple of their latest (final) Roomplayer + streamers. The idea was that, until Naim start producing multi-room streamers with access to Qobuz, etc Simple Audio would...
I have already posted a topic about flac reproduction problem and this is the second problem that I have... I have setup my unitiserve with fixed ip at my local network. At the same network I have also with fixed ip, a small hp server. The...
First post so please be gentle folks. I am looking at the possibility of a Unitilite to replace my separates system. The only real fly in the ointment at the moment is that we have a second pair of speakers in the kitchen driven by the amp when you select "speaker b" :-) This is a real deal breaker for my wife at the moment (along with the £2k but i am working on that). Will the Unitilite stream to a non Naim speaker or would I have to really smash the piggy back and go down the route of the...
'Rights issues' prevented me from listening to Liverpool v Newcastle on iradio last night. I'm in the UK. Should have got an ND5 with dab module. Any (legit) workarounds?
My 4 'quotes were behaving badly recently: DAB signal variable, clocks out of sync', fluctuating volumes & issues with Internet switch. All solved with a factory reset after powering down everything (not rebooting) and starting again. All this was...
A new update for the Naim app which controls all Naim streaming products is now available to download for Android devices. Version 1.3 for Android features support for the new NAC-N 272 streaming preamplifier, a new link for users to easily register a...
hi all As many of you are aware the BBC recently switched off their WMA and AAC streams in favour of HLS formats (plus a "legacy" Shoutcast mp3 stream available but at lower bit rate). Naim products should now all link to this "legacy" mp3 streams - however - please be aware that the BBC themselves have admitted that the Shoutcast stream isn’t very stable at present. Furthermore, if you have a BBC station as a preset you will need to re-navigate to the stream in the listing and re-save the...
My NDX starts playing music by itself now and then. It has happened 5-10 times in the last couple of months, and initially I thought that I've simply forgot to turn it off, but now I know for sure that it starts playing for other reasons. Every...
Hi Naim, I have been having issues with the spotify connect performance of the Mu-so. My Mu-so is hard wired but suffers constant dropouts when transfering spotify music via the connect mechanism from both my android phone and the windows app. My...
Sent an email to the support crew last week about ios app issues but have had no response. Are they closed for the easter break? :)
Dear all, I have recently started subscribing to Qobuz, and am currently running it in an iPad into the USB input on the front of my ND5XS. I have compared the sound from this to CDs I own running through the ND5XS and find the quality very...
