Streaming Audio

If you took the preamp out on a Uniticute to an integrated e.g. Nait XS, would there be a be a big difference in sound from the ND5xs to Nait XS? If so how much. You could use the savings to make improvements elsewhere in the system

Hi, this topic may be a little basic for some, but I would appreciate any thoughts or guidance.   What I would like to be able to do is easily access my library of music via a menu on an ipad, with excellent audio...

Can anyone help, please? New Superuniti just powered up but remote control does not seem to be working (batteries have been installed just in case anyone wonders!). The SU was used in shop demo with another remote (from a UQ) and I do recall...

Hi All, new to the forum after recently purchasing a naim nait 5i (mkii) which is a considerable improvement to its predecessor. I have found the forum interesting and already very helpful in deciding my amp, speaker cable etc to those who've shared...

Downgraded my Synology NAS to Ver 3.2 to get trancoding to WAV to work correctly. Only thing i cant get is the album artwork to look right in nstream. They are coming through all blocky, low res. Can anyone recal how to get this to work correctly on...

I'm running an Windows XP PC and a QNAP NAS. The NAS is used as the PC backup and it runs a SQ Touch server. When I transfer files to the NAS I use a program called Netbak replicator, I am unable to to copy and paste or drop and drag. My son's...

For the first time ever, I opened up N-Serve on my iPad, only to see that it could not discover my UnitiServe or my NAS drive. I opened the browser on my iMac to find that my Music Store and Music shares were both shown as off line. I did a reset...

I have an NDS now and am using the xps2 that previously powered the CDS3. I was planning to finally replace my last piece of olive kit - a serviced (3 yrs ago) Supercap but wondered if it would be better to spend the cash on a 555PS DR for the...

Hi, I am looking for a hifi for my living room into hifi after years of listening to my Apple Lossless iTunes library played back through my computer with an Apogee Duet and Gelelec active speakers.  I auditioned the Naim Uniti2 through Neat...

I've been playing with putting files on a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v1 for a while now. In trying to change a setting I realised I couldn't log on as the administrator.  I decided my only option was to do a factory reset which would lose all my...

Can an ND5/NDX/NDS/HDX play apple lossless and can they access my itunes playlists? Also if I swap my CDS3 for an HDX reusing my 555ps will I notice the loss of cd quality.

Hello once again. Being a newbie is not easy in every situation, so I would like to ask Naim owners few questions. 1) I wonder how you ‘switch’ off your Naim ,Qute in particular or what is the best way to keep your Qute off on daily basis once you not listening? 2) How is your signal ground switch set up. Chassis or floating? At the moment I mute it. However what brought me a little doubt is when I mute , I still can hear a little noise like ‘ppsssssssss’ from my speakers. I have tried...

One of the perennial debates often encountered here is whether WAV sounds better than FLAC on Naim streamers. The general consensus seems to be that any perceived differences are explained by the extra processing required to decode FLAC, and the...

Anyone..... the option to change album cover has stopped working on the iPad. I've:1. Deleted the nserve app and reinstalled it.2. Rebooted iPad.3. Factory reset iPad 4. Rebooted router5. Rebooted HDX Same fault, click on an album,...

Any advantage to one of these- http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/hometheater/networking-for-home-theater-and-gaming/GS605AV.aspx Over a regular 5-port gigabit switch for streaming audio between uServe/NDX? Don't know whether it's...

Hi all, I have sold all my olive kit. Now I am left with an unitiqute´+ NAP200 into Royd RR3. (short history, can be skipped) A couple of months ago I bought into streaming with an Unitiqute. I tried the qute together with my olive system (CDi/ NAC72/ HiCAp/ NAP140). But found the Qute quite good in its own. Not long after I found an ex-dem NAP200 for a resonable price, and connected it to the Qute playing into my Royd RR3. I thought the NAP was a very good upgrade and worth the price I...

Hi, Am I right in thinking there is no synced playback between Maim Streamers (a la Sonos). Considering a Uniti for the kitchen but its adjourning the lounge so would be good to sync them up Thanks

it seems that logitech will not be making this anymore In a way, the decision makes sense, because the heart of the system was the software, which can be made to run on an ipad, ipod, laptop, android tablet. Nevertheless, the touch is a very...

My NAS keeps dropping of the network, although it can be read by my Mac. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks I expectation ...

My copy of the new Peter Gabriel So 25th Anniversary Immersion Box set arrived yesterday. Yes this 2012 remaster sounds better than any other So remaster that I’ve heard. This box set comes with a download from the B&W Society of Sound of the remastered So album in 24-bit FLAC. I downloaded this FLAC version from B&W and ripped the 2012 remastered So CD from the above box set to compare. The CD was ripped onto my NAS with my UnitiServe SSD. The FLAC from B&W was put on the same...

Chaps, I know this is old.......old news, but its one thing reading it on the Forum and another discovering it with ones own ears. Just did a test with my wife's iPod connected to the usb on the ND5 playing AAC files @ 256kbs/44.1khz and they...

Chaps, just a few impressions on the n-Serve app over the last week. Please feel free to comment and correct me where necessary. 1.Cover Art. I have noticed that 99% of the time a better quality cover art could be used instead of the one that is...

My domestic internet is supplied via 16mb/sec fibre service and feeds into a Time Capsule.  However, on high def radio channels the service gets interrupted due to buffering issues.  This is easily seen with the buffering display switched on...

Hi folks,For the first time have moved my high res files from USB stick on my Unitiserve to my dreaded Synolgy NAS. Problem is the whilst music plus plays, it is not at high res - the light on my nDAC does not come on.  I saw a similar...

I asked part of this question on another thread of mine, but I've now got stuck at a further stage- About to home dem (and hopefully love and keep!) an ND5 XS. My listening room is upstairs, wireless router with internet connection downstairs. I...
