Streaming Audio

I have a Superuniti that connects to a Qnap NAS (Twonky) via Ethernet for the music library. I control the Superuniti ether by iPhone or more usually via ipad. I seem to suffer quite frequently from issues where nStream loses the connection I.e. at...

Hi, wonder if you guys can help me narrow down options before a dem, please? I'm new to streaming and so I have a great number of options open to me! SQ needs to be very high as the system is very revealing, BUT my preference is for musicality, PRAT, and musical involvement (the toe-tap factor) rather than out and out detail. Just a nice clean, dynamic sound which grabs attention without making your ears bleed My other preference is for a nice clean, tight bass, I can't stand any wooliness...

I'm finally looking to take the plunge into streaming music (flac format) and I'm pondering the UnitiQute and UnitiLite. I will keep around 250cds so cd replay will feature but I expect the convenience of streaming to reduce its importance to me....

Hi,I have a SuperUniti, and my entire music library is in WMA Lossless. I don't want to use another lossless format like flac as it is not recognized by some of my devices. 1/ Do you know of there is a chance that a new SuperUniti firmware will...

Hi all I have used dbpoweramp to rip my CD's to FLAC. I believe i can batch convert these to WAV within dbpoweramp, hope thats correct. My question is though, would this create the same quality WAV file as if i had ripped the CD directly to...

I have just bought the new Marry Gauthier live album. It contains 11 tracks, but the last is a hidden track. The ripped version on the ns01 only has 10 tracks. Of course I can rip it on the pc and see if I can get the track ripped with EAC or...

In both nserve and nstream, only the first track of the playlist plays. Rather defeats the purpose of the playlist function. Anybody any ideas above the usual reboot which I have tried. Atb Ray

Hello, I am wondering why Naim doesn't support WMA lossless and limit the WMA at 320kbps ? Is there a chance that my SU will have an update that will solve this issue ? Best Regards, 

Still trying to get a grip.... Whats the best sounding way to connect/install NDX and US-SSD? Does both need an internet-connection (wired of course). Any input is welcomed! //Jonas

Hello All, Since I already have a ZP90 and both the Naim Dac and ND5 XS are similar price points. I'm wondering which combo would sound better on Redbook CD rips. I'm leaving hi-res out the debate for the moment. It's a compelling duel....

I would like to thank Paul Stephenson (Naim MD) for taking the time last Friday night to call in to my local dealer during the future of Hifi event and personally run the demo with some of his favourite music. Although already owning the NDS, I...

Help!Apple has removed the optical output from the Macbook Airs!  I need to play music from my iTunes library (ideally via iTunes interface on the Mac) through my Unitiqute at an upcoming party. The Macbook Air can send out digital audio...

Just downloaded the new Smashing Pumpkins album in 96/24 wav format from their website. Annoyingly they don't appear to have tagged it very well and artist & album names are missing, when using my UServe to feed my SU. I would be very grateful for any advice on the process / software required to sort this out and any issues like this that I may encounter going forward. Please be gentle as my music has remained computer free up until now as I have been using my UServe and...

I have found that I can control which music my Qute plays from my NAS quite nicely using the Windows version of Kinsky. I can also adjust the volume and use the mute control, but I can't make in play the radio stations. I have not been so...

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...

Hi all.Apologies if this has been raised before (although I can't find it). I have a Unitiserve and Synology DS212J NAS. In keeping with with the common view that a physical connection delivers better sound quality I've connected the Nas via an...

Now that Squeezebox is no longer promising refining developments, I am trying to equal or (I hope) better the "spotty" Spotify experience it delivered by other means.  For the first time, I have installed the Spotify client on the Mac, and paid...

I dreamed about the next generation uniti! It will provide in one box NDX , DAC, CD , tuner but no preamp or power amps. It will be the multi source box to build a system. It opens plenty upgrade paths as preamp, power amps and PS within the Naim...

After ripping nearly 1000 cds last year after I bought my NDX, most of my new music added have come from down loading from iTunes and then, changing the format to WAW.  1. Is the quality of the music, doing it this way, highest possible or...

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this question, but I have no idea! Tonight I was having trouble streaming iRadio through my Uniti (the buffer drops from 100% down to 0% Stream cuts out and then after a time will buffer back up to 100%starter...

Hi all, Currently I get no album art whatsoever from my flac files on my D-link 320 NAS, despite naming thumbnails in the various music folders album.jpg or cover.jpg. I've tried searching through a few older threads on this issue, and am I right...

PD -> double post adca

Hi I'm thinking of upgrading my current NAS a Buffalo Livestation as the ruddy thing keeps duplicating tracks - not physically on the drive but when my SU receives them. However this issue can't justify the upgrade alone so my first question is around sound quality - if I upgrade from this cheap as chips NAS to something like the Synology DS212j or the QNAP TS-119P II could I expect to hear a reasonable improvement in sound if nothing else in my current environment changes ie is the change...

Hi, Unfortunately my NDX no longer responds to key presses. This may have happened after I did the last firmware update, but I am not sure. I very seldom use the buttons on my NDX, but they have definitely worked in the past. The unit can...

Chaps, Still on my quest to attain the true HiFi sound, I have heeded the very good sound advice by the Forum on a previous thread I posted relating to the Naim Dac and the ND5 streamer. Originally, I was going for the UServe - ND5 XS - NAC 152 XS - NAP155 XS, then discovered that the UServe also streams radio and has a better nserve UI and the Forum generally considered the NaimDac to be superior in SQ to the ND5. Therefore, my choice became: UServe - Naim DAC - NAC 152 XS - NAP155 XS.
