Streaming Audio

Anyone tried making a DAC from a Raspberry Pi?   There are some options from Wolfson and Hifiberry which look good on paper. I'm curious about whether I could improve the sound of a UQ this way.   Anyone tried it?  

Hi, I am running a SU with 3.21 firmware, latest version of Naim app on iPad and iPhone, a Synology NAS 411j, through an Apple Extreme router attached to a Virgin Superhub 2 used as modem only. Occasionally in the past, the SU has lost the UPnP but...

I'm looking for an Itunes alternative to sync my ipod classic.   I just need a simple sw with 3 fetaures: 1) it has to know when new songs/album are added to the lib and trasfer them to the ipod classic once connected.  2) I need into the...

Hi to all.    I'm trying to tune in to the Naim Radio 320 feed bit it only buffers to 30% then Zero and then disappears but the 128 stream is fine but sounds a bit inferior to the 320 feed.   I was wondering how I get over this problem...

I've downloaded the rather fine new album by A Winged Victory for the Sullen, from the Erased Tapes website, which doesn't have a download manager. I've put the files in the UnitiServe download folder and while they play fine, no album art shows - just the 'Naim' cd logo. The download had a JPEG of the art, which I converted to .png in the Paint programme. I recall having this problem previously, and there was something about needing a special folder file, I think. All that is in the Atomos...

Has anyone had problems with the Album artwork. Since installing ios 8.0.2 on the ipad mini and updating the Naim app to 4.1 the artwork has screwed up, When attempting to get the correct album artwork by choosing "Not this album?" all...

I have a UnitiLite and the new app worked until today. On startup it now shows "ROOMS" with my unitiLite displayed for selection. When I select it I get the message "Streamer not responding". No options are available except "Add room manually". I can...

Until my ns01 arrives from Naim hq, I use my old squeezebox receiver with Ndac. This is ok, but cannot play my 24 bit files. But the ndac can, and it has worked earlier by using usb sticks, both with wav and flac files. But now nothing works, with 3...

Would be nice if naim could get rid of the trolls and the people with stinking attitudes.

I am desperate for help with updating my Uniti 1.   I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks and recently purchased a USB to Serial Adaptor to enable me to update my software from 3.17 to 3.22 on my Uniti streamer.   I have downloaded the...

Hi to everyone !   I bought the XP5 XS for my streamer and everything changed !   More musicality, more detail, less harshness, the bass is much more controlled.   I did a direct comparion of the SQ of the Naim streamer with a...

Apologize in advance in this has been asked already but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Is Spotify connect working for the Uniti's (Qute specifically) now? 

Just noticed the new ap update. I wonder if it solves the problems the initial ap had and wether spotify ect have been added

Here is a guide I've written to help people with Setting Up Audio Networks, and to help deal with the common issue of Radio Frequency Interference.   It has benefited greatly from the assistance and most valuable input provided by Mike B and...

I've downloaded a King Crimson show from the dgmlive website. The files are FLAC, and are stored on my Synology DS213 in a folder labeled HD downloads. This folder is separate from my naim_music Store (adjacent, not a subfolder) created when I ripped...

About 2 months ago, my HDX just died.  Turns out it was a crashed main hard drive which was replaced under warranty (although shipping both ways was on yours truly - $160.00).  Well, got the unit back from the US service center and it plays...

Hi! Have any of you tested different media servers to deliver the music to your streamer? Can you hear any difference in sound quality between the different media servers? I’ve been told that different media servers can sound different and that it’s important to choose a good one. Last week I tried three different servers but was not able to hear any difference in SQ between the three in my stereo system. The media servers that I tried were: Twonky Media Server installed on my Netgear NAS...

I went for an audition at my local dealer today, primarily to test the KEF LS50, which were amazing - issue is while i was there I noticed he had a pair of B&W Nautilus 805 for sale at £399 - they were a trade-in and he was looking to sell them...

Hello there, I just received my HDX back from Naim to fix the Hard Disk. Looks like they replaced the screen as well as the new one is much brighter than the old. Whilst the HDX was away being fixed I bought a chord QBD76 HDSD DAC. When the HDX was returned I connected the HDX to the DAC with an optical lead. This works fine. I’ve just bought a correct specification 0.75 BNB to BNC lead to replace the optical with the digital coax as this sounds better. All seemed fine, but there is a major...

after getting the new app on both my iPhone and iPad (both with ios8) I cannot get to grips with it and my server. the only way I can get it running is with the remote. To get any sense out of the selection of folder/album/track for me is impossible....

I have a unite and have recently had an upgrade for my apple app.  Now the Apple has lost all control to the upnp.  HELP

Sonos unit with digital out? AirPort express - stream via airplay? Hook up iPad/iPhone directly? The third option seems to be the best in terms of not introducing an extra power supply unit, but is not as convenient. Thoughts?

After enduring at least 90 days with Spotify uninstalled on my SBT, due to an issue where I got "bad gateway" and no playlists, I cleanly reinstalled it today.  Into Naim DAC/555DR via DC-1, it is still my favorite way to listen to Spotify...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get back into streaming having previously run a vortexbox which sadly died . My original plan was for a V1 with a mac mini but now that the money has been spent on a new car, sofa.... etc. I'm investigating some of the cheaper options. I will keep my Beresford Caiman DAC, NAC 72 and NAP150 but have been looking at either a Raspberry Pi or a Cubox running Volumio. I think I would store the rips on a usb hard drive. Hopefully this would come in at something less...

If anyone is interested, I seem to be able to get Radio Paradise 320k again.
