n-Stream 3.2 is now available to download from the App Store. The update simply enables a new seek to time feature on all lossless file formats (WAV, FLAC, AIFF and ALAC) for new UnitiLite units only . This feature will be available for all other Naim streaming products with the release of new product software scheduled for early next year. Please note: due to restrictions imposed by Apple your iOS device must now be running software version 4.3 or above for n-Stream to work with Naim...

It would appear that quite a few Mac users include a Mac Mini with their streaming system. Not sure what Naim units that includes. I have an iMac and I have a Unitiserve SSD with a NAS, which goes through my Supernait. I'll probably add a Hi-Cap to...

Is there any difference? I'm sure I saw a review of the 5xs that said it shared the same analogue and digital sections and the main difference seemed to be the height of the box. So i is there a difference and does it justify the extra hundreds?...

Help! iTunes steals my WAV's from my music folder when I have ripped my cd's using XLD. I originally used iTunes to rip in AIFF, but after extensive tests I can hear differences in sound quality between AIFF's and WAV's and prefer the latter....

I noticed that the Media Server on my Synology NAS has the ability to downsample.  Does anyone know if it has the ability to transcode to certain zones in the house and not others? Currently, I've used DBPowerAmp to create 16-bit 48k FLAC...

I would appreciate any insight you can give on this: I have successfully ripped several CD albums of various genres successfully to Flac level 5, then transferred them to a thumb drive and played them on the trusty SU.  Oh, one or two...

I am surprised that Naim has not released network player without dac section for those using Naim dac or other dac. I realise that the new NDS has dac section as good as Naim dac but feel that with the NDX and ND5 XS you are paying for dac section...

I am loving the sound of my ND5 XS but whenever I use the better Upnp Compatibility option I lose all of the songs. The albums come up but show "no items" when I enter them. All the more frustrating as it's an intermittent problem - sometimes it all...

Over the last 3  days 2 of my Danish stations on my ns01 suddently stopped working with  IRadio. The other stations worked fine. Today I edited the address for the stream on the naim radio guide page. I changed the address I have used for...

Any feedback on the NDS - is it stable after 3 motnhs of being on the market? Safe to buy one yet?... (I usually avoid new car models for a year after they come out... wondering whether I should apply the same principle to a streamer??) Thanks

I just hit the volume slider on the iPhone version of nstream by mistake, sliding it to 100 without even realizing it - my finger somehow grazed it.  Blew out both woofers on my 6 month old Guru QM10 twos in the 3 seconds it took to turn it back...

Got my US SSD yesterday which replaces the SB Touch. First impressions are that the ripped CDs do sound a lot better then those ripped in itunes and played back thru the Touch! I also have a lot of downloads from HD tracks in various formats and the...

Hi there I'm looking at purchasing a new NAS - preferably one that is not 'locked down' like the Netgear Stora is, and one that supports RAID. Are there any particular models that Naim recommend, or does anyone have any...
