Streaming Audio

Nice to see the formal announcement for the NAC-N 272 posted on the Forum includes trickle down hardware technologies in the physical unit for new buyers (Statement-derived volume, eg) and enhanced firmware capabilities for existing compatible units...

hi.. you know tell me a usb dsiplay for my unitiserve? I read on the net that not all are compatible. thank you   Ric from Italy

my God its a night and day difference ! I have a naim streaming system in one room and another System from another manufacturer in my other room. hope Naim can get this squeezed into their streamers as an update.. And not wait for spotify to go higher...

I need to install a second GIgabite network switch.  First switch is attached to the Netgear N600 router (all ports on that are Gigabite), and the second switch will be also be attached direct to the router (i.e. not daisy-chained).   The...

Hello, I just upgraded my HDX SSD system to 1.7b and have now the screen always on and showing the Naim disk logo. I’m able to control it without any problems using n-Serve on my mac or iPad and Desktop Client on my pc. The system status there show my HDX running the 1.7b version. However, when I connect with a web browser, I got first the “Firmware Upgrade In Progress - Do Not Switch Off” then the “Firmware Upgrade Failed - Please Contact Your dealer…” screens each time I restart the HDX. I...

I cannot get spotify working to stream via NDX from the Naim app. It asks me to open the spotify app and when running on the iPad it will not stream through the NDX. Am I missing something here?

yesterday I spoke with my Naim dealer and he told me that in Bristol Naim will announce a new firmware that will allow existing streamers to receive Tidal service.

Hi I know a few are using this on sonos. I am curious to see if makes any appreciable difference.

When Naim first released the UnitiServe and DAC they had no streaming products so the use of the UServe as a hard disk player connected via DC-1 to the DAC appeared to be the the prescribed position.   Since the release of Naim's streamers there...

hello people, I hope somebody out there can help me as I have probably hit a button some where and changed the parameters on the 282. By default my ND5 streams through the cd input on the Nac. Now every time I press the iPod button on the app or...

Linn has adopted an open source software development model, see  http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac . Why have they done so? What is Naim going to do? Why? How could a successful strategy to cope with present and upcoming challenges in software...

I have a USB Flash Drive formatted to MS-DOS (FAT32) This is loaded with music and plays perfectly when plugged in to my ND5 XS. I also have a USB Portable Drive, formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This has video files, and music...

Hello. I'm setting up my DAC V1 - hooked up to a Mac Powerbook running iTunes and Bitperfect. Using the Naim online setup guide to configure the DAC. The instructions refer to running the Bitperfect test on the menu using the "Bitperfect test files"....

A new problem has arisen since upgrading my NDX and UnitiQute to the latest firmware.  When I select a player, select UPnP as the input (or leave it selected) and select a track to play, the music seems to be streamed correctly BUT doesn't...

Hi, I am new to this and have purchased Asset UPnP, I find it drops out a lot. Is this due to the software or my WIFI connection?   Thanks,

Can any Mu-so owners successfully manage to send tracks to the player using any control point software? Even windows media player 'Play to' service doesn't work for me. Neither does bubble upnp. I get a '501 action failed' error. I think this...

Is there anyway to turn off the source lights on the Dac-v1 (like you can on a pre amp or the nDac).   Hoping there is, as it is the only one illuminated in my kit.   Scot

Reading the forum as one does most nights , I offen see people using unitiqutes as a main source for there system, running them though small DAC's. Which makes me think there is a market for a shoe box streamer. So how hard would it be for naim to...

I have an ageing cordless DECT Panasonic phone/answering machine which operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.9 GHz   I was wondering whether it is likely to interfere with the quality of the wifi connectivity (iPads, iPhones and...

Hiya all   My Uniti broke so I took it to the nice folks at Infidelity to go back to Salisbury.   While I was there I did an impulse buy of a Mu-Su - is a birthday present for a friend - but I "borrowed" it until my Uniti comes back.  ...

After reading many posts on this subject, I want to upgrade my NAS drive. It seems that the overwhelming agreement is that Qnap and Synology are held to a 1-all draw and its take your pick as to the UpnP server you use accordingly. My bias atm is to a...

I will be taking my ND5 XS to a friends house shortly, just to see what it sounds like on his Naim system. I'm not going to drag my NAS over there, so will use a USB drive to do the demo. All my music is stored in FLAC, but I would like to demo FLAC...

Hi all New to these forums and NAIM. I auditioned and paid for a NAIT 5Si to drive my Rega p2, Arcam cd 75 and B&W 603 floorstanders. However the amp is not ordered yet and I have the shop demo on loan until I have to confirm my decision on Tuesday. I have since been thinking seriously about a streaming device (ND5 XS) however adding that to the amp is pretty much the same price as the SuperUniti. So my question is which will give me the best sound overall: the NAIT + ND5 or the...

hello my mu-so suffers from random stoppages at least once every session.    It doesn't matter whether I am streaming Spotify or music from my NAS or even if I am watching TV or listening to Internet radio.   sound disappears for approx...

Contemplating going from HDX-SSD / DAC / 555PS(DR) to NDS / 555PS(DR).   Library sits on ReadyNAS Duo.   Mainly WAVs ripped by HDX-SSD but most new additions are downloaded.   Wondering if I should look at ditching the HDX entirely, and...
