Streaming Audio

This isn't an important issue but it annoys me.   On my NDX-5S, if I select the "Composer" menu item in UPnP the unit says "Please Wait", then "Restoring History" and then goes back to the menu list (Artist/Album, By Album, Composer etc.). It...

Hi tried searching the forum and posting on this subject a while back and didn't really find what I was looking for. So hopefully some kind person will be able to assist this time around    My router and NAS are on the same HiFi rack...

Can anyone offer an opinion on whether there is much to be gained from an upgrade from a unitiqute (as a source) to a ND5 XS? These would be used into nac 72/hicap/250. I don't buy that if it is more expensive so must be better - I recently borrowed a...

I thought I'd share my thoughts with the three software alternatives in the title of this post. Take this with a pinch of salt as this is by no means a comprehensive test, but only brief experimentation by someone new to streaming. Anyway, here goes:...

When I right-click an album and click convert to mp3, nothing happens.  I have "parallel mp3" set to 'true' and looks like the firmware is up to date.  any suggestions? 

I needed to get rid of some untidy rolled up Cat5e between Netgear GS105 switch & BT HH4. My other cables between NAS-Switch-NDX are Supra Cat7A & my thinking was more Cat7 will do no harm, so to hell with the expense & I lashed out £13 on a short length of AQ Pearl. I was not expecting anything other than a tidy cable run, for sure no SQ changes except maybe with iRadio, but nothing else. However I was surprised to hear a small change in detail & definition when playing from...

New compatible product dsd will be announced soon

Could not extend from a thread “UnitiServe Can’t see the Qnap NAS”, this thread was created based on personal trial to solve the problem. After a power trip, UnitiServe displayed “Empty” but the UnitiServe still had the NAS name (main folder/subfolder) in the Network Shares. Realised that the ip address of the NAS was changed. Ways to solve the problem failed - reboot NAS, reboot UnitiServe, remove NAS main folder/sub folder, keyed lower case NAS main folder/sub folder (faced the date...

I cannot access my music via Unitiserve SSD located on Netgear NAS and also unable to burn CD's.  I've re-booted etc to no avail.  My NDS can read the music from the NAS.   I've spoken to Naim and they logged into my network and said it...

There has been posts since spring 2014 about integrated Spotify support in NAIM's streaming audio products (UnitiQute, Uniti, UnitiLite et al) but then the "news died out". I recently bought a UnitiQute 2 and am very happy with it but my dealer told...

My current NAS, QNAP 412 is turgidly performing its streaming duties at times-  due to its 256MB RAM, judging from the system resources menu when I check.   I generally like the interface and would like to stay with QNAP.   I'm thinking...

Hi all,   My wife does not get along with NDS user interface, so I want to setup a Mac-interface for her. Ideally I keep my wav files on my NAS for serving to NDS.   After a lot of forum search, this is what I got. Could someone confirm or...

Hi all, I have an almost perfectly  working solution with ripped CDs on my Seagate NAS with mp3tag used to correct tag errors and take care of cover art when this is missing. I say almost because I have some cases where despite adding...

I don't want to get in to the debate of 'Wonky Twonky' vs Asset & Minim, but is there a way to configure Twonky, so that it doesn't play album tracks alphabetically? (via n-Stream) I know that I can edit the tracks in XLD, by putting 01, 02, 03 etc, directly before the track name. The album will then play the tracks as intended. I have just played all 12 Beatles albums, which are in Hi-Res 24bit FLAC. I really don't want to manually edit the track numbers! Why does 'Wonky Twonky' do...

I'm experimenting with speaker balance set at -1 or  -2 (left channel) as domestic considerations dictate listening position very slightly right of centre - works for me, wondering if you find using balance detrimental to sq?

I’m currently playing FLAC and ALAC files on a UnitiQute 2, DAC-V1 & NAP 250.2 set up, from a memory stick. Previously I was using a MacBook with Audirvana connected to the DAC-V1, but have switched to the above as the SQ to my old ears is significantly better. The memory stick is large capacity at 64GB but will never hold my music collection of circa 1,200 albums, so a NAS would appear to be the obvious way forward from a convenience point of view. Before I take the plunge, I would...

Hi All im looking at using a dac-v1 with a non naim power amp. is any one using the dac in this way and what settings have you used?

Not a mistake but a wrong choice.  Love my  nd5 into sn2 and pmc 20.23's but already know I'm missing something. Am I suffering from the early onset of upgradeitis. Should I resist or should I look to feed the demons and play Noel Edmunds...

I have an ND5 XS streaming from Asset UPnP on Mac OSX.  All is working pretty well apart from one small niggle.   When listening to compilations, n-Stream only displays the Album Artist rather than the Track Artist value.  Compilations...

Hi All An impending house move means a change in music replay. What is known of the muso? it seems a lot of kit for the money but what exactly is it? I know details are unconfirmed as of yet but someone must know something. ps im not keen on naim's...

I'm looking for a cheap-ish system for my home office.  I don't want to spend the $ for a Naim system, though may consider a used unitiqute.     I'm thinking along the lines of a dragon fly DAC + AudioEngine powered speakers.  ...

Currently have Naim ND5XS into Chord Hugo using Chord Prodac VEE 3 cable (BNC to RCA Hugo modified) and QNAP TS-212 NAS.   Historically I've been using the free Ethernet cables supplied by Virgin Media and use them to hook everything up to my...

After using the android BubbleUPnP app on a Nexus 5 against a BubbleUPnP-Server as proxy in front of my uniti 1 I now have spend a lot of money for an iPad mini 2 to be able to use the N-Stream app. To be honest, I like the Bubble-way much more yet....

Hopefully not permanent death, but at least in need of a trip to Naim hq. Monday morning I found my ns01 not working. The simple reason was that tit had turned itself off during the night. First thought was a short power cut, but the rest of the...

I have an NDX streamer and a Qnap drive that are attached to each other by yer basic BT broadband. I have been away from home for a couple of days and via BT I have discovered that I have used about 250mb a day broadband. Nothing is switched on except...
