Streaming Audio

I've have looked through the posts here without spotting anything that covered this. Apologies if I missed the solution.   I stream flacs from a WD MyBookLive using Twonky 7.1.1. I recently bought an ND5 XS and used n-Stream on a 1st generation...

Hi all, I have a QNAP 212 which keeps loosing artwork/metadata on a regular basis. Naim have recommended that I replace twonky with asset on the QNAP. Does anyone have a kind of "idiots guide" for the computer clueless on how to do this ?. Any help...

Not sure if this belongs here, or in music? Has anyone heard it or read a review of this 96/24 release?

Apart from Wat who seems rather enthusiastic about DSD, is it worth investigating ?   I get very good results from plain old PCM so am i missing anything ?   James  

I now have a Denon network player (DN109?) connected to my 252 to provide internet radio and very occasional streaming duties. Perhaps not surprisingly, it doesn't sound as good as when I used my Qute for this. I've not really analysed the sound but it sounds a little muffled, and not as sharp as the Qute. Would a cheap DAC improve this? By cheap I mean something less than £250. How about the Arcam rLink at £150?

I have the Unitiserve 2TB and an Auralic Vega DAC (which is capable of handling DSD).  If I burn a DSD disc onto the Unitiserve, will it be stored and play back through the Vega in DSD format?  Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm not...

Hi, I would like to know if any of you could give me any advice regarding the comparison between using an Arcam irDAC or Rega DAC with an iMac>Sonos Connect>Naim XS2>B&W CM5s? I've demo'd the irDAC ($700 new) in my system, and it did sharpen up the sound nicely, but a Rega ($650 S/H) was suggested as a better option by a trusted salesperson, and getting it at a used price vs the new irDAC makes them comparable pricewise. I know that the Rega cannot do USB HiRes, and...

I have some decisions to make Current system is 72/140/Hc with unitqute as (flac) source into Epos ES14. I can afford one of the following upgrades only if I sell some of the existing kit and provide a small top up. Any opinions offered on the...

Most manufacturers don't make it clear of what DACs do.  Do they always upsample regardless of the input? If yes, what do they upsample to?   Route 1 Use specialised software to auto-switch computer's output according to the sample rate of...

Just downloaded spotify and I wondered if anyone could recommend the best way of streaming from my IPad to my UNITILITE  .. looking at the USB streamers I know QED do one but wondered if anyone has any experience and my best options .....

Hi All,   i have an NDX which I am currently using to listen from flac files through a flash disc (64gb) connected to the front panel USb input. while listening to music the playback suddenly stops without any apparent reason. Also on occasions...

Hi, I am thinking of getting an ex-demo Unitiserve (as I only have a NAS atm and no real backup other than the CDs themselves, downloads have been backed up on other PCs)   This particular unit is a 1TB version. I saw a thread that stated...

Just started exploring iradio on my Unitilite, has anyone any recommendations for Indie/alternative stations? thanks.

Hello Naim! Any plans to implement wimp hifi in the uniti range? It sounds a lot bettet than spotify and is apparently easier to implement. Please? :)

router went down yesterday, could not quiet remember the starting of the NAS - NDX - etc etc - but spoke to Phil (Cymbiosis) who took me through the reset and starting of starting of the system - also lost Twonky but all up and running now - big...

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I guess it is streaming related really. I had a Uniti 1, and once I got my NAS and Unitiserve, I rarely span a CD. So I sold that and moved to a Superuniti. But despite never spinning a CD, I seem to be buying more than ever! The convenience of the US is definitely one factor. But the price of CD's means I just can't seem to help myself from buying a wadge every time I go into a shop! At our local refuse site, they have a charity shop where people...

Hi all, this is my first post, I bought a Unitiqute2 three weeks ago (my first Naim purchase) and am pleased with it.  However  I am having all sorts of issues with a NAS drive and am currently best friends with the tech department of the...

I bought Rigoletto from HDTracks. It appears on my PC in a single folder, but when I copy it to NAS or to USB and look for it in Nserve, it shows up as 27 separate albums. I have tried all I can (which is not much, admittedly)think of to fix it, to no...

Hi!   Will there be no headphone connector on the mu-so? And no audio out? So no headphone listening for those who want one as their main system? I hope I'm wrong because I really want one, but never without headphones..    

Hi, I have a QNAP 212 where I rip my CD's to the multimedia folder and this shows as "NAS DRIVE TWONKY MEDIA" on my Naim NDX streamer. I am about to buy my first Hi Res downloads and am planning to save these in the "DOWNLOADS" folder. My questions...

OK guys we can blab all we like about streamers, FLAC and a young Joanna Lumley to our hearts content in here.  Actually I still think Miss Lumley is fairly fit but then I am a 104! Moving on...Yup as I said in the forum Hugo v NDX where nobody...

Computer Audiophile online magazine posted an interesting article on July 7th about lossless cloud streaming and how it will transform the way we listen to music. As someone who listens to streamed music frequently, albeit at low bit rates, I’m inclined to agree. The article describes some of the strengths and weaknesses of the digital devices we use today and where things are headed in the very near future. It makes for an interesting read and may be guide to anyone looking to buy a music...

Will it be posible to controle the volume knob with the n-Stream app when the nait xs2 is connected with the minijack cable on the back of the nait xs2 and ND5xs?   Is this discribed in a manual ( where? )

I have spent lots of time trying to figure out how to make N-Stream work without the need to turn on UPnP compatability mode. It is so convenient to be able to create playlists and queue up the song you want to listen.  I cannot...
