Streaming Audio

Does it work How do you set it up Thanks

Hi all, From the beginning I couldn't stand the fact that the HDX sorts artists or groups including the prefix "The". I'd love an ignore prefixes when sorting on artist option! After a long time, I've decided to rename all the artists on the...

Hi Has anybody any advice on how to format metatags so that they show up correctly in the n-stream app? I've just bought an ND5-XS and my music files are already stored and tagged on my PC (for the moment). The problems I have are...no artwork...

I haves a Mac-Book Pro and 3rd Gen  i-Touch.All My iTunes library  music is on ALAC.I want to load my i-Touch with music that I can play through my Volvo car system.Unfortunately the Volvo only acceptes WMA, WAV, MP3 files.I want to preserve...

I am beginning to wonder, which kind of species on which planet Naim is trying to server with their streaming products. The issues we can read about on this forum are so out of this world, that they have never been heard of before: Incomatibility...

I recall seeing somewhere you can transfer playlists created on n-Stream from one i device to another. Just got a new one so want to transfer my playlists to my new device. I believe its done using iTunes but I can't see how. Any advice or...

Dear all,I made an interesting discovery: I just connected a Samsung SSD-drive to the USB input of the ND5XS - and this sounds great! Isn't this wonderful? Fairly large storage (quite affordable 256 or 512 GB SSDs are around), and this with zero...

I was just checking the Logitech website and found no links to the SB Touch et al. and searching on the net I found this.Has anybody else read this and felt a little bit put out, to say the least (says a Touch and Radio ...

Morning all, quick one if I may. I've decided to go for an NDS, but I can't justify keeping the HDX as a server, partly because a much newer and bigger NAS would cost much less than it's worth, but also because the NAS can live on the shelves...

CAS vs ND5xs as transport Has anyone done a proper comparison of a typical CAS (non-Mac computer as source) setup versus ND5xs as a pure transport? Home demos are not available in where I live, and I find it very difficult to compare...

I've just installed vortexbox on an old server I had going spare with 3 TB in RAID5. I've started ripping my CD's and can see "vortexbox media server" in the UPnP section of n-stream but when I go into it there is nothing listed in music >...

I realise that there is a significant cost difference with these two options, particularly if you factor in the DC1 cable with the NDac.  But has anyone done the comparison, particularly within the context of a full XS system and would like to...

I am now ready to drop a few dollars on two downloads from two separate hidef sites--one will be the Avison Ensemble's 24 x 192 version of Vivaldi's Opus 8--including "Four Seasons".  This runs 112 minutes and consumes just under 5 gig.  The...

Having just installed 4 Crabtree double sockets into the wall, fed by a dedicated 6mm cable from the mains distribution box, I now have to decide which kit to connect with only 3 Powerlines (all I can afford at the moment   ...

Very often DTC (ver. 2.0.11.1165) starts not showing the right pannel and the scroll bar. Usually DTC works fine for 2-3 days after installation and then these elements disappear. If they have disappeared nothing can bring them...

To set the scene briefly:- At present I am Naimless and in the hi-fi wilderness having previously owned Naim equipment for around 25 years. I have a little Denon all-in-one system with a pair of Eclipse TD307II single driver speakers. A very enjoyable little set-up actually but certainly not up to the standards of replay that most (all) of the good people here are enjoying. The plan is to eventually get back to Naim with a one-box system, either a UQ or UnitiLite probably. However, our...

I am told by a friend that by using SSD, his SBT+Naim setup has gone from 3 to 6 on a scale from 1 to 10. Anyone here has experience on that ?  

I have no idea where to start... have just bought Unitiqute - at £850 for an ex-dem it seemed rude not to! The UQ is essentially to get some music in the loft where I work 2-3 days a week (or more). It will also take in from playstation 3, and I have FM and DAB aerial sockets available. Internet a bit of a sore point - using 3G modem/router with external aerial. Poor speed between 3pm and 9pm weekdays (and weekends) but otherwise OK, though probably not enough to be able to enjoy internet...

Maybe a daft question but can you mix cat 5 & cat 6 cables in the same set-up? I have a long Cat 5 between router and DS via wall ports. Goes along outside wall and is quite permanent so on practical grounds I have no desire to replace any time soon. However I have various Cat 5 patch leads between router, switch, NAS, DS, wall ports etc and wonder if there is any benefit inchangingthese to Cat 6, bearing in mind how cheap andeasythis would be to do?

Just upgraded my Naim N-Sats to SBL mk 2s, what a massive difference, I liked the N-Sats but hankered after SBLs after reading all the rave reviews...managed to get a 1 owner set with all packaging and boxs as well as original receipt...sitting here...

Picked up my new US-SSD yesterday, but having issues with getting Naim Desktop Client to link with 'Scannable network shares'. Reformatted my Synology DS212 from scratch last night, and this morning, I created a new read/write directory (called 'Naim'). I can see the folder in the Naim Desktop Client (under Tools\Music Repositories\Scannable Network Shares) with status 'Online', however when I try and activate the share, the folder comes back to say it can't activate, and then reports status...

Hi everyone, The reason I'd like to see AirPlay coming to the Naim streaming/playing devices is purely for convenience: listening to something on my Mac or iThing and sending it to the main rig to gain in scale and immersion. No other use for me,...

I've just seen the story about Bruce Willis threatening to sue Apple for the right to bequest his downloads to his children.  Couple of thoughts: whose kids want their Dad's music collection? I suffer from no illusions that my carefully...

Naim, please update the iPhone software to fit the iPhone 5 screen ASAP...thx
