Hi everyone   Has anyone perfected a setting for this value? I'm using the native Mediaserver software on a Synology DS214 play with a wired ethernet connection to a UnitiQute 2.   This value is having some effect on my connection...

What is the minimum separation distance between these devices? Is it normal to place HDX right on XPS?

Can the n-serve or n-stream apps be used to control the nnp02, please?

Experimenting I've 'batch converted' my Little Feat albums from FLAC to WAVE using Dbpoweramp.   When I look in the source file I see both FLAC and WAVE files now, but the WAVE file has a little musical note to the left of track title where the...

Most thoughtful article I've read on the topic: http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/reader/streaming/   One interesting point: streaming has precedents in the original classical chamber concert programs, player piano compilation...

I have noticed a lot of forumers mention connecting their streamers over wi-fi. I understand why that is - because their internet connection comes into their home remotely from the hi-fi - but it is sub-optimal for SQ and there is a possible alternative. In my house the internet wiring comes in upstairs and the UQ is downstairs. So I have a Router upstairs. I then have a Range Extender downstairs that connects to the Router over wi fi. I connect both the UQ and the NAS to the Range Extender.

Better texture to music, separation of instruments, well defined bass - and most importantly tames the very high end. Here's a tip - adding a $5 choke on this cable clearly helps. I like it enough that I'm going to order a vodka for the Nds. I...

Hi, this is my first post but I have been a Naim user for 11 years and currently own a CD5, a Nait 5i and a pair of 25 year old B&W DM220i speakers. I have a very large cd collection and after recently moving house and as yet to unpack the Naim system I have found that I am currently listening to my music by streaming iTunes and Spotify from my iMac via an Apple TV to a temporary set up in my lounge (Cambridge Audio amplifier and small bookshelf speakers next to the TV). I am...

Is there a recommended CAT level of cable to run with naim gear - does it make a difference? Building a house and need to spec cables over next week or so, so any advice from somebody in the know greatly appreciated. Cheers

I need some help to get n-Serve working ……… I have a feeling I ’m missing something stupidly obvious, but bear with me as I’m a newbie at this streaming & apps m’larky. n-Stream works fine, no probs, it all worked straight out of the box. n-Serve will not “discover” the server – tried many times, junked & reloaded the app, played with DHCP on/off & a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember. I have come to the conclusion it’s a problem with the app as the manual IP address function...
