Streaming Audio

Please be aware that due to planned maintenance to systems at Naim HQ in Salisbury next week (W/C 5th August) you may experience some performance issues with Naim Radio on your network-connected product. Normal service will resume after shutdown as of...

Firstly, thanks to all those who take the time to help out on the forum! My CDS2 died recently, and like so many I decided to explore streaming.I managed to find a nDAC and hooked it up to the XPS and the above feed. I backed off several...

Since I have read/learned lots from others who have contributed to the forum, I thought that I would post my thoughts on the Qute with added power amp.  I demoed a NAP 100 and used the Qute as the source via preamp out (RCA Chord Cobra 3) and...

Still pretty new and pretty amazed by my Uniti 2 paired with Ovator 400s. ––– Still hunting for the PERFECT streaming solution. I'm 100% Mac biased so Windows and Linus solutions are sorted out by definition. At the moment I'm using Allegro Music Server (AMS) which elegantly grabs any iTunes information – unfortunately the app lacks good support for Cover Art and (as it is based n iTunes – no support for FLAC files). For FLAC files I'm trying/using Asset UPNP which streams these files like a...

I upgraded my mac yesterday with the latest OS X upgrade and iTunes and straight away my N-stream would not pick up the server. Rebooted everything...no dice. New it must be the upgrade as neither ND5 or OPPO 105 woulbe pick it up. Has anyone else had...

I completed the software update for my HDX last night without any problems - but since then my Music Store scans and then comes up with Error. It has never done this before in the 2 years I've owned it, so I can't see that it is a coincidence. I am at...

Just bought myself an M2Tech HiFace dac, using it with my IPad and camera connector kit, it is a neat tittle thing, apparently I can play 24/384 , if I had any !Anyone else using these new compact dacs?H

Fiddling with Spotify on the iPad through the NDAC/555PS this morning - a new venture for me - and even the 320 'excellent' setting is not up to it for serious listening. Is their a provider out there delivering CD quality on tap? Not sure...

Dear Folks, I borrowed the Teddycap 12V/4A to power up the synology 211j for test my streaming system. Now, i can share my feeling to everyone here. Overall of the song had big improvement that mention as below. 1. Background darker...

Hi  Having updated to 1.7a, I must admit to struggling a bit finding the additional functionality. I was planning to use the shadowed Mp3 copies of my wav files to load my entire music collection onto my iPod but as yet I am a little...

Hi there, just started to "like" MinimServer. Reliability is great but user interface is something I'm having my issued – especially when it gets into "scripting" or things/items/expressions MinimServer handles different from other UPNP servers. Tried my luck the so called manual but fail to get a decent "AlbumArtist" item/tag/seletion. MinimServer's approach on this does not work for me...* Would like to have something like album PLUS albumartist BUT NO compilations Possible? Can anyone...

Do you guys have any advice for an iPhone to nDAC cable of a decent quality? Should be based on lightning (iPhone 5) connector. Thanks

Just downloaded a new app update for n serve, now showing version 2.6 with added support for 1.7a software

Im thinking of having a change and setting up a mac mini into the dac v-1 via usb. But wondering what music player to use on the mini. I know the obvious choice is to use itunes but all my music is stored in flac and really dont want to convert...

Just had Phil Harris run some checks on my HDX 2TB HDD version which I had been having issues with. All in his own time mind you, when on holiday, thank you Phil ! Looks like my HDD needs to be replaced (under warranty so no issue there), the...

Hi Folks I've just been converting my Various Artist albums from iTunes over to my NAS, and I seem to be seeing some odd behaviour. For my ReadyNAS v1 in nStream I initially see four options: Browse Folders, Music, Pictures and Video. ...

Hi I'm new to all this so forgive me if I appear inexperienced!  My Uniti 2 is a couple of weeks old and all inputs (analogue/digital/ phono stage/ UPnP streaming etc) are all working fine. When I plug my iPhone 4 or a USB stick in (I...

Maybe one of you Synology nas owners has an idea . . . I really think that this is a nas issue, not a uServe issue, but I'm not sure. I can create a useable backup 'store' from an empty shared folder on my nas, and can run a full backup to it...

I've recently bought an ex-demo NDX and until yesterday, it played great.  Since yesterday evening it just stops after having played two or there tracks from an album. The buffer just runs empty and then its over... I also tried it with a...

Good day ladies and gents, Yesterday I entered the 21st century and downloaded my first ever album.  It was in FLAC format which I converted to wav in DB Poweramp.  I created a new shared folder on my NAS and copied it across.  On...

Has anyone tried this? I am currently running MacMini (old gen) - Rega DAC - Nait5i (c.2004) - B&W CM5. Would a 2nd hand qute be a good way to go to replace the mac and rega? Would certainly be neater! Then take the qute through the 5i for now then pickup a 2nd hand nap250?

Hello all, I have an issue with file conversion on mac, and was wondering if anybody on this forum knows what's going on. The issue: I rip via iTunes into AIFF, and use Metadatics from the app store to edit metadata of my AIFF files. That works fine....

I'm looking to buy the unitiqute in the new year, and hope this can be done. CanI use my ipad to switch sources on the qute using the nstream?Also is does the nstream operate like the squeezepad?What does the home screen of nstream look ...

Hi,I am trying to connect UnitiQute 2 through his preamp output with coaxial RCA cables to outside power amplifier ( 2X300W ) in order to override it's own amp. Have set up speaker type to NONE, everything else seams to function fine except there is...

I have a Mac and have linked by internet it to my Naim and while I can now play most of the songs from my i tunes library, other song appear on the Naim but cannot be played. How can I fix this ? Thanks for any input
