Streaming Audio

Hi, just want to check on this: recently I am not able to stream anymore Atlanta Blue Sky Jazz Colours station with UQ2 from vTuner. Station is available from the list but once contacted there has been no reply of any kind. Anyone with similar problem...

Having just cancelled Spotify Premium and taken out a subscription to Qobuz Hi-Fi in order to benefit from the higher quality, I've had a few problems this weekend with hiccups in transmission. As I have Virginmedia's 152 Mb/s service I feel it's...

What's the latest on this? Last I read in Feb it was announced spotify support will be included in a streamer update in May2014; 3 months later and no update in sight. Is this still coming?

Hello, I've been reading the Naim forums for some time and found it to be a great source of information.   This is my first post and would like to ask for advice. I have read in a previous topic post by Phil that if all your ethernet cable is...

It's written in poor english and is definitely devoid of any kind of humour whatsoever.] tl;dr Gone the mullet, source first at last, moved to streaming.   Hello there, chaps, [said with Gustave H.'s mellowest tone, in front of a barley field] I have been away for a while, having taken a few months break from the forum.

Dear Forum   I curently have a QNAP NAS running Twonky, with about 1,300 flac ripped cd's and a few hi-res downloads.   Whilst I don't seem to have a lot of the wonky twonky issues mentioned here, I'm thinking about trying Asset given all of...

Hi guys, I am currently using assetNAS v4 on an AssetNAS NAS and the latest version of nStream, and ripping using DBpoweramp CD ripper.  Never had any issues with nStream displaying the album artwork before, but for some reason the artwork...

Qobuz (and perhaps others?) are offering streaming services at CD quality now. But does anyone have any knowledge (or just a hunch) as to when we might see 96/24 or similar quality available for streaming? I must find some use for the 152 meg...

Forgive in advance my lack of knowledge here but 2 questions pop into my mind when reading many of the posts here and while the answer is probably in those posts it's not readily discernible to me.   RFI: a lot of effort is expended to reduce...

Hi Has anyone else had any problems over the past few days?   It usually works perfectly but now I'm getting constant dropouts every few minutes or so.   Other radio stations are absolutely fine and so is the UPnP with all high res material...

Hi I was just making a post about wireless routers in another thread and I thought it might be a good idea to get other people's thoughts on what routers they are using. There is a motive for this, I currently run a BTHomeHub 2 and it has started to give a few problems recently - interestingly since I bought an iPad! So I have 2 options the BT HomeHub 4 currently at about £50 or one of the Asus jobbies at about £100. Any thoughts guys. btw I only plug the broadband modem and a connection to...

Some advice please folks if I may.   I think I need to back up my Unitiserve as I would be more than devastated if I had to go through the mind numbing process of ripping my CDs again. Accordingly I think I need to get a NAS but all this will...

I have got a Unitiserve which seem to be not ripping all the tracks of some cd's or refusing to rip at all-saying there is an error   I have tried re ripping the discs  but the problem remains - however when I put the same discs on a friends...

Hello can someone tell me why I get on certain flac files 2 different readings I understand the flac 1411 KB/S 44.1 KHZ that's when I rip a cd but on some flac files it reads 4608 KB/S 96 KHZ these figures are from the n-stream app   thanks

I currently have two Naim systems, one with UQ2 and Dynaudio Excite X14 and one with Uniti2 and right now Elac FS247 but soon Dynaudio Focus 160. The Uniti2 is located together with the TV so my BD-player, DVB-T-box, Apple TV 3 and Tvix are all...

Hi all,   I hope someone can help.   On the whole i am really pleased with my home set-up at the moment. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro and a Chord Chordette QuteHd, which sounds really wonderful. Quite a lot better than my old Naim CD5i it has...

Hi all the cd collection has finally drove us both nuts just moved into our new house & don't won't loads of racks in front room so it's time too box it up in loft for time being. I'm now looking into streaming I know have done a bit of reading i don't want too have too run PCs or laptops would like to use it with my iPad & could run it with my iTunes that I already have or is a rip it all again job I'm running at the mo 200/202 flat cap. I've looked at naim...

Hi, I'm looking for an All-in-One CD Ripper & NAS product. The RipNas V3.0 seems to get good reviews; and I was wondering whether anyone has compared it against the Unitiserve (HDD or SSD) versions? The RipNas uses dbPower ripping s/w and stores FLAC files; and is a lot cheaper than a UServe. I'm thinking of combining it with a Q2. Celt

Hi I have the following Naim system and wish to know where I can go from here! Naim Superuniti, Ovator S-400 and the Naim Powerline. I am happy with this but would love to progress, however I find the other Naim products confusing about where they fit...

Have we reached the pinnacle yet?   I'm guessing not, so, if that is the case, where is there still room for improvement at the replay end of the chain?   G

Hi been running a new UnitiServe for about 8 months now and still having problems with metadata. I buy most of my music in hi res from HD Tracks, often the data isn't to Naim's liking. I've deleted the downloads via...

Made a trip to my friendly dealer today to discuss streaming and a ND5XS came home with me on trial. All I can say is Wow... That is one impressive piece of kit. incredibly easy to setup, most difficult thing was remembering how to re-program the...

Having overcome my frustration waiting for spotify connect or muso to solve my general issue of lazyness in getting off my couch to switch music, I finally got the music streaming from my Android tablet to my Uniti2. I manually upgraded Android to...

I've just acquired an Arcam rLink DAC to sit in between my 252 and Denon DNP F109 network player.  I'm hoping that this will improve the slight muffled characteristic of the Denon sound.   I'm conscious of the potential impact of plugging...

I had a cisco switch that was sort of dying (In any event, I suspected it of causing buffer underflow issues in my NDS). I put in an Airport Extreme (configured to act just as a switch) as a stop gap measure. Surprisingly enough, it didn't sound as...
