Streaming Audio

@Bart: A project for you for a lazy afternoon: Could you compare using the UnitiServe as a streamer vs. the built in Media Server in Synology as the streamer? I would highly doubt you'll hear a difference, but if you do, I need to start...

Im looking to buy a new audio reciever and specifily one that works over a network. I play most of my music from a laptop (Macbook Pro 2013) and Id say I play about 50% from Itunes and 50% from various streaming services like Spotify, Soundcloud and...

Has anyone used the App to control the system? As the delighted new owner of a Superuniti, CD5si and a pair of Neat Motive 2's, I'm disappointed only with the handsets; to require two to operate the system, with some keys common but in...

I've held back from moving to 3.21/3.4 as I'm currently running Snow Leopard on my iMac and the firmware updater apparently isn't supported on that version of OS X - despite the fact that 25% of Mac users still use it.  I've followed the...

Hi guys, Those of you with Synology machines, do you leave them on all the time or set up some kind of power management in the settings? I'm pretty new to all of this and wonder about the effects of having the machine running at all times - wear...

Hi! Over the last months, I've been experimenting with various streamers (especially sonos and airplay), into a superuniti. I've come to the conclusion that the sonos does provide great SQ. However, I'm considering switching to a simple -...

Just received my unitiqute and noticed it came with 2 plastic connectors for the amp and the metal bits are flexible.  I do have standard naim connectors on my existing naca5 so presume these are a different type of connectors for the unitiqute?...

hi, I've bought an exdem 24/96 unit , am streaming music from my macbook pro using eyeconnect and aiff from iTunes work.Isn't supposed them to play only if wired? anyway this server isn't working properly and stops playing  several times ,...

Has anybody downloaded this yet? Comments? Mac version but the hi-fi is in boxes for major decorating!!!

i am intended to buy an nds streamer, my question is can i connect a nas drive straight to the streamer without  needing a pc or stick memory and capable to see the  music files stored 

Hi guys, I'm new here so apologies if I've missed this topic from before. I have run a search but nothing obvious came up. I've ripped a few audio tracks from YouTube using a webapp called Clipconverter. This allows users to extract the...

Hello, back from holiday I wonder if I should update my uniti1 from firmware 3.16 to 3.21. Features and drawbacks I did collect from the forum: * Party mode: I do not need it, as I only own 1 naim device.* seek2time: I would love it, but it...

Hi all , new to this forum as currently don't have any Naim kit , but aspiring to do so ! After a hiatus of 15 yrs or so , I find myself bitten by the HiFi bug , but with cash to spare to go down the Naim route . Wondering how best to go and...

I just received one of these after an upgrade and wondered if it will be okay to use as a switch.I'm waiting to pick up a Uniti Qute and I've read that these routers from BT are not that reliable using UPnP - dropped connections etc. I also have...

If you are wondering what NAS to buy I thought I'd write a few notes on my current move. A couple of years ago I bought a Drobo-fs. The main reason was the five HDD slots, allied to the price. and it has performed faultlessly .....but, the fact...

Hi, I am new to NAim equipment as I finally took the plunge and secummed to the promise of being able to have al lmy music at my fingertips and bought an NDX streamer with my hard earned cash. As much as I am in heaven with my Flacs being plaend...

The LIV Zen looks to be very good value for money, I know some here use it, and from my point of view releases more ££ to go into the the rest of the system (so NDX instead of ND5Xs for example). They claim it integrates seamlessly and works the same as a Unitiserve as far as the rest of the Naim kit and apps are concerned. a) Is this actually the case? b) Is there any functionality lost (for example while running the naim software on the iPad) compared to using a Naim store? c) Am I right...

Hi,Some of you may be aware I have had on demo a qute,nd5xs and ndx.After many hours of listening I have opted to go with the nd5xs.i tried all combinations apart from ndx into my ndac as I could not afford this option.I am at the moment listening to...

Hi all, I have splashed out on J river and imported to the library. none of the .wav files appear in the library, though they do appear under the "file" view. They list under "file" as "unknown artist"  "unknown album" which as a Userve...

A chap at work is helping me build a media server to store / serve up my music files. He's used XBMC before.  I understand it has UPNP capabilities - anyone use it for this?  Any thoughts on how it performs, or on the functionality it ...

Good afternoon all. With XMAS coming up (sorry to mention that word) and the (almost) yearly upgrade itch / fund available would like forum users thoughts opinions on the following. Wanting to upgrade my digital source 1. Add NDX but also need IPAD/ POD touch 2. Add XPS2 DR to DAC 3. Add used XPS 2 (non DR) and modify sonos with Wyred4sound mods 4. Add Uniti Serve SSD and I Pad mini Most of these I know I can demo, however the Sonos mod I cannot. The "source first" principle is leading me to...

Hi Is there anyone who could supply advice on the best way to convert wav to flac.Looking on the net there seems to be a lot of conversion software available. Do they all work?Thanks Philip

First post, been offered an NDX Network player second hand, 2 years old. Question - has the NDX been upgraded in the intervening 2 years & can the resolution be upgraded to 24/192 as i believe the unit is 24/96 currently. Thanks.

Hi there,  I jjust bought the DS 213+ and have managed to get everything set up except the raid configuration in the storage manager. When I go to the Create tab, it is greyed out. Status says it is verifying the hard disks in the...

Hi, I don't really want to end up with a 3 box source so was hoping to get some feedback on 2 suggestions for best sq. 1-ndx / psu(could only push for used xps2) 2-unitiqute or nd5xs / ndac I already own a ndac so if option 1 is in theory...
