Streaming Audio

Since 1/1/2014 there's a beta version of asset upnp for qnap nas. See http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?32811-Asset-UPnP-for-QNAPIs anyone trying it?

Just wondering why people bother with an NDS without buying a US? I have seen that a lot of people on the forum try the NDS and state that it 'isn't as good as their CDS3', yet nobody seems to mention what their source is or aren't trying a Serve with...

Hello, I have a first generation HDX which I am just about to send in for service. I am considering whether it also could be worth to (1) change the sound card (PCI) and (2) to change to a SSD hard drive. Any thoughts on whether...

I know.... there are several threads in this forum regarding the issue of converting and metatagging the NIAM format *.wav files. However.. I want to start a new thread with almost the same topic as I find it hard to believe that the current options are the best way to go. I honestly think that we consumers deserve better. Since I have bought my Naim system all my portable audio devices have been obsolete due to unsatisfactory sound quality – I have been spoiled by NAIM and thank you very...

Hi finally hopped Inthe streaming bandwagon. I've read that flac files transcoded to WAV prior to reaching the streamer improves sound quality. I don't seem to be able to do this with the synology media server. I have read that previous versions of...

I'm confused!   Can I use the ND5XS into NDAc to play FLAC's From a NAS?   Do I use the DC1 cable (BNC) between ND5 XS and NDAC to achieve this?   Thanks   Graeme

Hi folks,   I would like to get the advice from all of you regarding my internet radio of the Uniti.  Well, the problem I encounter is that I cannot listen to RTHK 5 783 AM in Hong Kong through my Uniti but I can listen the same radio...

Powered the Unitiqute down yesterday to connect an analogue RCA CD player. When I swetched on again the following message showed in the display "Fault 28 Bridgeco boot fail". I have seen a few other posts regarding this issue, but was wondering if...

My UnitiServe went wrong during the week (refused to hold data buffer and only dim orange lights flashing at the Ethernet socket - no green light at all). Controlled shutdown and reboot has resulted in 'blink of death' (as another forum member called...

Hi   I have tried everything and not got a solution.  What I would like is nServe to show is a single album where each track is shown with both a disc number and a track number and is ordered correctly.  I can get it to show two albums,...

My UnitiServe is trundling away converting the collection to FLAC. It's taken two days to do about 9,000 files, with about 17,000 still to go.   Looking at the encoding log, I see that about six albums (out of what must be 700 converted so far)...

As they say necessity leads to resourcefulness.   I sold my Linn Sneaky for a DAC V1. but really miss the songscast feature which I used for playing youtube music video.   there is a software called airserver and another one called reflector...

Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to either decide, or manipulate the files, so that I can decide which thumbnail is used for an artist? The main reason I ask is because where I have artists such as the Stones, their tracks also appear on...

Aside from the difference between the N Serve and N Stream apps is there a difference in the way these two combinations sound. I know there are those that think the the NDX NDAC/555ps are a great combination. I am wondering if the Unitiserve SSD...

Any idea why Uniti-Serve shows multiple Albums (though actually it is a single album) when the album is tagged with different Artists for different tracks (though Album Artist tag is same for all the tracks) ?   Any work around to solve this...

Hi,thinking about an intermediate solution to feed music to my Nait 5. Two possible solutions could be:ND5 XS vs an DAC_V1 with a PC close to. With the DAC-V1 I wouldn't get the benefit of the n-stream and the dlna/upnp benefits while using...

After prevaricating for weeks I've finally bitten the bullet and updated my Qute 2 to the new firmware. Everything worked as it should but, for my first time, it was a right pain in the backside to do and a fairly stressful experience not least...

I would like to be able to stream music services from my laptop to my hi-fi system.  It will never be my main listening source but I would like to be able to do it from time to time. I have (1) a laptop (2) a Naim DAC and (3) a...

I noticed that the Close to the Edge Blu ray has a high res needle drop version. I haven't come across the term needle drop before. Can someone enlighten me to what it is?Thanks,Renz

I get fantastic sound from the UnitiServe but n-serve locks up seemingly every week or two. Says offline via any version of n-serve and desktop client but the Radio Paradise stream continues...could be my network but haven't changed anything except...

Hi, Setup:NDX - Chord BNC - Naim DAC - DIN - SuperNait (Tuner Analogue input) NDX - minijack cable - SuperNait (Remote in) The NDX and DAC are about 1 month old and my question is: have I got the right connections? The Manual...

I've been enjoying my Qute for a couple of years now. I recently added a NAP100 and loved the results. That got me thinking would a DAC V1 and a MAC mini be an upgrade and replace the Qute or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance Lee

Hi, I've got a windows7 based old laptop running Flac files through Foobar2000 feeding an M-Dac via USB amplified by a Naim XS2. The primary question is "is my laptop a good source for hi-fi?" If not, what product/device should I use to improve...

My uniti lite with audiophysics speakers sounds beautiful but when I try to play music withvery low volumes (down to one) its still too loud as background level.Modifying the channel adaption (radio vs nas vs usb etc.) doesnt help. If I set the nas to...

Today I got myself an Ipad mini and I’ve loaded n-Stream. I’m using Synology Media Server on a DS114. If I tell Media Server to transcode the FLAC files to WAV the individual track names on n-Stream all show with ‘.flac’ added to the end. I had the same problem with Kinsky on my PC. If I turn the transcoding off the track names return to normal. Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks
