Streaming Audio

After criticising the instability of BitPerfect and iTunes on another thread, it now is (of course) working well again. I'm not sure why, but it is.   Still doesn't do gapless playback very well, and sometimes still gets very briefly confused on...

Is Spotify Premium the same as 'Spotify Connect', which is what is required for Naim Streamers? I've checked their website, and it's not too clear. They are offering a trial period for three months...£0.99! I'm sure it's too good to be true...

why you can not connect spotify with more than a streamer? I want to use NaimUniti and muso as multiroom. At the time, I can only select one of them. At the same time both will not work.   thank you

Hello all, purchased a a my so yesterday, and before I could set it up, my phone &!internet cable has been dug up by the builders !...... So no internet connection. Writing this over 3G..... so so my question is, is it possible to get any sound out of it until my internet can be reinstated after Xmas ? Have tried pairing with Bluetooth to iPhone 4s but the phone can't even see the my so. Also tried plugging in iPhone to usb socket, and playing music...

i use a digital 75ohm RCA to RCA cable between my NDX and Hugo using a BNC to RCA adaptor. I thought i would try a BNC to RCA cable to see if the adaptor was degrading the sound.   Anyway this got me thinking, exactly what does the 75ohm refer...

I just got the classic line Naim DAC and am pairing it with my NAC 112/Flatcap/NAP 150/Intro 2 system.  I am running an Airport Express into the DAC with a toslink optical cable.  I have re-ripped all my CDs into iTunes using the Apple...

Just some quick thoughts about this combo.  I've only had them for a couple of weeks but they've had plenty of playtime.  SU sound stage is really starting to open up a bit now and sound better and better.  I'm still amazed at the punch...

Hi and Merry Christmas. I am looking for help with the Naim app for my Android tablet. When I have my qute 2 on wireless the app can find my device. However I don't have it on wireless since it cant stream 24/192 and jut buffers. So I have...

I remember as a kid when I first got into music, listening to John Peel in bed on a clock radio. I would of given right arm to have a service like Spotify. Yet, people dismiss it as not being of the highest quality. Well, I've loved it, just finding...

Hi,   I was wondering if anyone could shine some light on an issue with our mu-so. Once up and running I set two of the radio presets to BBC R6 and R1 and left the others as they were. All was fine for a day but we suffered some network issues...

Hello, and Happy Christmas! I'm a newbie here so forgive me if this question has been asked numerous times before but... I have a Naim MuSo (very nice indeed) and an apple iMac that I'm currently using Playback to stream my iTunes library as a UPnP for the muso. However, I have thousands of CDs that'd like to add to my iTunes library and clearly the iMac isn't going to be big enough. So, I was looking at an external streaming device / external hard drive for the iMac. Has anyone used the...

99p for 3 months is being offered at the moment. No reason not to give it a go at this price ladies and gentlemen especially if you have upgraded your streamer firmware so it has Spotify Connect.   Just making you aware that is all.   To the...

Trying to update the firmware on my unitilite with a macbook air running Yosemite but unable to get the USB serial port drivers to work - it says successfully installed but when i run the updater no USB com port appears.   Anyone else having the...

For users of Synology NAS running DSM 5.1, the update released this week (5.1-5021) looks particularly unstable. A number of unresponsive/semi-bricked devices, though it appears you can roll-back to 5004. I am postponing updating my DS213j while I...

Do the new Naim Apps show a CD booklet in PDF format if the current folder contains one ? Do you know if there are MPD clients supporting this functionality ? Thanks, nbpf

whilst excited with the update news I am dissapointed in Naim choosing Spotify .   why have a hi quality piece of kit and not have a hi quality streaming music service like Tidal.   or if we had to have a way of using a streaming service why...

After upgrading to 1.7b on my Unitiserve, I discovered that all the rips I have done subsequently have no cover art. I have also tried to manually upload the cover art using the N-serve app on my iPad, N-serve app on my Mac and even the DTC on my...

Hello, I have a USB-only DAC and I would like to plug in a device that has optical and coax digital outputs. Is there a device that can do this conversion? I can easily setup a Mac Mini to route the optical input to the USB DAC, but thought it would...

Hi guys I currently have a Topic running regarding a switch, which I have now purchased, and istalled with some dirt cheap Ethernet cables. I'm waiting for some Audioquest Cinnamon and Forest Ethernet cables to be delivered. Hopefully 'Santa Meerkat' should get them to me by Christmas Eve. I am told that these cables are directional, so to get the best out of them, it's probably important to get the direction of the cables correct. This is how I think it should be, but if anyone knows...

Some brilliant stuff already this Xmas - and the 192kHz music shows just what my Uniti2 is capable of - breathtaking stuff :-)

I've looked back at several posts, regarding adding a 'switch' into streaming audio systems. I have a ND5 XS which connects directly to my Sky Broadband Router, (About 18Mbps) using a flat, screened, Cat 6 Ethernet cable. My Qnap NAS is also connected directly to the router, with a similar Ethernet cable, some 10 metres away. A post running at the moment, suggests a Netgear GS105 unmanaged switch. (£20-£25) Please could members advise the benefit of a switch, and what the connections would...

Hello,   my uniti does not play music gaplessly via the UPnP media server from a synology NAS (DSM 5.1). I have read that this is a bug in the media server with activated transcoding. So I tried to turn the transcoding off. But even with the...

I would use Spotify to discover music, on odd occasions, and I guess my kids would use it too. So some progress but, for me, CD-quality streaming would be the real game-changer. But the fact is my Qute isn't 24/192 anyway, so I won't even be benefiting from this small step. And I certainly won't be paying £370 to upgrade the board. So either I stay as I am, which is fine, or I buy some new kit so I can do streaming - sell the Qute and get, say, a NAC-N 172 XS to go with my NAP100. Or...

I thought some of you might be interested - one thing I use streaming services for is to listen to extracts of Gramophone magazine's monthly Editor's Choice. (They used to include these on a cover CD but dropped this a while ago.) I've just checked availability of tracks from the December issue. Much to my surprise, the result out of 11(ten new issues and one reissue) was Qobuz 9, Spotify 7. A few caveats:- 1) I think this was an untypical month, which for instance included nothing from what...

just got my Uniti2 from service (CD mechanism was replaced) and got upgraded to latest firmware. Great, I finally got Spotify, but my wifi is now crap. Both iRadio as well as Spotify dropping every few seconds. 10Mb+ download speed when I test network...
