Streaming Audio

It doesn't look like there's any talk about this pream on the forum. Anyone demo this? How does it + say a 155 or a 200 compare to say the SuperUniti?

I have just updated my dvd Audio extractor. This ripper supports both dvd audio and extracting wav or flac files from blueray disks. There is it seems a problem with blueray disks where the program only can extract 24 bit 48 khz files, but this will...

Hi Mates, Which one of the input sockets of the NAC 552 preamplifier should be used toconnect NDS optimally ? CD input ? Input 6 (AUX) ? Thanks for replies.  

mac mini and rega dac .......or uniqute??  cost wise its about the same but which is better sound? using a CD5Xs and 202/napsc and 200  thanks

I am wondering if other HDX owners have had this issue. Mine is the HDX 2TB current version - one year old. Started today, during HDX internal stored rips & in random areas of random tracks it would stop then start again & it is still doing it. Only for up to a second , sometimes less. The HDX internet radio is unaffected, plays fine. I really hope this is not the start of a hard drive about to fail ! I emailed Phill- he is on leave (lucky Phil !) ...

Hi folks, For music streaming I currently use an iMac (with attached Drobo HD storage), iTunes and Audirvana into my DAC via USB connection. Although I'm very content with this arrangement, I'm contemplating using a portable computer-based...

My kitchen zone (Sonos ZP90 + onkyo amp) is ready for an upgrade. I have a Naim set up in my lounge (NAP250, NDAC, 282 + NEAT Ultimatums) and it is open plan via my dining room to the kitchen. I have sonos zones in the rest of the house and because...

Hi I've seen one suggestion of the TC electronic impact twin Firewire to Spdif interface being slightly better than a HiFace for sound, so in terms of daily use with iTunes playback from a MacBook will this actually...

I wonder why a Ndac is considered to be an upgrade to the ND5xs? The ND5xs already has a DAC inside and what sense does it makes to operate 2 dacs.? Sorry. But I'm new to this.

The most frustrating aspect of my current computer audio set up (MacBook Pro > Audirvana > Hi Face > NDAC) is waking up the power book. Can anyone suggest a way to wake it up via an ipad while the lid is shut? I'd like to run it...

First off, I've not been around the forum much and I know very little about streaming, computing, or engineering and TBH I haven't read the thing all the way through. I hope you will forgive me if I'm either re-hashing an old argument or being naive...

I thought I'd start a new thread (in the relevant forum area) having received a really helpful reply from Simon-in-Suffolk on the subject of why all Lossless formats aren't *necessarily* equal when it comes to playback (see the thread "Radiohead's...

Wonderful new unitilite but why only ipod etc 5th generation? I can use my 4th itouch as a remote control - fine, but can't connect via usb. Is this really the case?

Hi all. I'm in the process of ripping my CDs onto an external HDD for playback via my mac mini and into my Supernait. ( At some stage in the near future I will be auditioning a Naim DAC so this needs to be considered ) I'm new to this ripping...

After somewhat dubious performance I finally bit the bullet and decided to replace my BT Homehub with an Apple AirPort Extreme. My ND5XS and n-Stream are working superbly, faster than ever. However, this is the problem.... i've been running...

I dimly remember there was meant to be a major release of new firmware for the streaming products around Christmas, then it was to be very early in the New Year. Now we're well into February, anyone know if and when it's coming?

Following the successful 172 XS, naim should be interested to make their fabulous streaming products available in the i-series, too. The ND5i borrows heavily on naim's development experience of the NDX, ND5XS, NDS and 172 XS, and packs (almost) all of...

The title is the total of my question...  I want to know if a reader-writer cd/dvd for my macbook air could be used in the usb front plug of my UnitiQute. Thanks.

Hi everyone. As the title suggests really. My good old 3.5 is 16 this year and I'm expecting to say goodbye someday in the next year or two. Anyway, I am looking for a solution to work with my Supernait. I'm considering the NDX plus Q NAP or else going the way of the Naim DAC and some other source. I don't really need to stream music all over the house and I'm guessing I could just plug the DAC into the S/nait and plug my MacbookPro ( with an attached HDD) to play the music into the DAC. Is...

Steaming with Windows Media player and an old Acer laptop ,upgraded to windows 7 pro,plus a iphone with the nsteam app..and uniti .no problems! Bought myself a new Ultrabook windows8.and now the problems begin,the iphone takes a age to connect and...

Does anyone have any experience testing these two streamers against each other?  Does the NDS beat the Klimax DS/1 for sheer detail, clarity and musicality? Can't help but think reading into various forums/reviews that Linn still has the ...

Hi all. Looking for some inspiration as getting exasperated now! The N-stream app refuses to find my Uniti in 'wired mode'. It WILL find it in 'wireless mode' but even in wireless mode when using UPnP it comes up with 'No Servers...

Hi there, Probably a silly question but for those of you that are using recent mac minis that have no built in DVD Rom, what do you use for an external transport? Is it just a case of any old USB2 DVD Rom or is there more thought involved in the...

I have bought a netgear 5 port gigabit switch to improve performance. I currently have a virgin superhub wired to asset NAS, NDS and Unitiserve.  Tried connecting the super hub to the port 5 on the switch and the the NDS, us and NAS to 3 of...

I am attempting to use a MacBookPro running iTunes and Airfoil for streaming to a Wadia151PowerDAC.  The Airport Express is attached to the Wadia by toslink cable.  The MacBookPro is attached to the internet via wireless DSL modem. When...
