What's the best optical connection between Mac Mini & nDAC? Someone has suggested Wireworld Supernova 6. However, IIRC the cable can only support up to 24/96. How does it fare against HiFace 2 using BNC Naim DC1? Thanks, mikapoh

I have upgraded my 1 year old uniti to the latest firmware 3.16 and tried the latest version of the app and really like the improvements. Older versions were so very slow that it was unusable (maybe of a slow WLAN?). Now it is really fast and the...

What's the experience here with the below three optical cables, has anyone compared them against each other? I only read some reviews but haven't actually had the opportunity to listen to any of them: 1) Wireworld Supernova 6 2) Audioquest Optilink 5 3) Silflex Glass Toslink While good things have been reported here on the forum recently regarding the SQ of the Supernova 6, we haven't had anyone reporting on the other cables. Out of the three the Audioquest 5 is the most expensive one but...

When you push music through a USB cable, the data, which arrives in blocks, includes narrow bits which represent the high frequency portion of the music. Within the current USB cables, these bits are largely lost because the cable isn't fast enough to...

Hi! I'm sorry if I've overlooked this, however I'm just wondering if it's possible to increase the size of the text on the superuniti display ?  Thanks!

Hi forum members, I am very happy with my Naim system composing of XS pre/power amp, FlatCap XS and the ND5XS. Apart from my NAS stored music, I also use the ND5XS DAC section for other digital sources. Main one is the Digital TV Settop Box that is connected into the toslink of my ND5XS. I have two other sources I want to connect to the ND5XS: an Airport Express and a DuneB1 blueray DVD. Here is where the problem is. Both the Airport as the Dune have tosslink digital outs. The only spare...

Hi chumsI have been using Steinberg Clean for years to modify my rips from vinyl, but Clean won't run on Windows 7. Which restoration software would you recommend?

Hi Guys,Really simple this one and I'm sure it has been asked many times before, I'm PC based and have been using dBpoweramp for a couple of years now with which I'm perfectly happy, now the problem, my friend has just bought a SuperUniti but he is...

Currently at 400 of 2,000 (?). I'm ripping to FLAC on a VortexBox appliance using a mix of VortexBox auto ripper and dbPowerAmp. 1) I wish it burned calories 2) Prompts me to bring up the subject of a Computer Audio Wiki again 3) I...

eYesterday I set out on an experiment to find out how much difference there is between my bare ns01 directly into 252, and ns01 into ndac with my 9 year old xps2, and with powerline on the ndac.I was really surprised to find that the difference was...

Hi All, I’m looking for some assistance with the latest nstream update. I've just downloaded it and now I cannot access some of my music folders on my nas. I initially thought it was a permissions issue, but when testing from the nd5xs using the remote, I have no problems accessing all my music folders and can play tracks from any directory. It only occurs when using the nstream? I didn't have this issue before updating to the latest version, so hopefully has also encountered this since the...

Hi everyone, I have read a great deal of the past discussions on this topic, but i remain confused so maybe you can help me? My current system consists of CD5x/122x/150x/FC2x/Naca5/SqueezeBox Touch/Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M. I use the...

If I wish to listen an iradio podcast with my UNITI I've to go in (for example) PODCAST BY LOCATION / EUROPE / ITALY / RADIO3 RAI / BATTITI) and I see a list of the last podcasts available and I can listen to one of it.I can store one of it...

I'm not the most technically-minded, so perhaps I'm a bit mixed-up here. I have a Superuniti, which I sometimes control with my wife's Ipad. Other than an initial 'server not found' type response when I first updated NStream, it doesn't seem to...

A friend of mine has recently bought the Cambridge Stream Magic 6/NP30 combo. I'll have to admit it has a very, very decent sound and feature set.He's also updated the firmware over the past week. He had the choice of letting the machine do it...

Hiya all, complete newbie here. Will be buying a Superuniti after I flog off most of my conventional hifi (non-naim). I would like to try and understand the whole concept a little better? What NAS drives do you recommend and why? Kind regards 

Hello all,who knows 1 USB Mouse which is compatible with the Userve?

Hi naim community, it's my first post and I hope what I want to talk about is a new topic to the community. I want to talk about small steps to increase the sound quality of the SuperUniti. How does have experiences in tuning a SuperUniti? Since June,...

I recently did the firmware update on my Qute- sounds great! Then today did the Audivo board swap. Powered up fine, went to factory settings to reset settings, said success. Then it went to Analogue, and will do nothing but volume/mute. Remote now...

I find it odd, or think that most people would, to land in this situation at least partly circumstantial. My experience leading to this point: (a) Owned 282/250 few years, which I've enjoyed more on than off with nDAC/SACD-player-SA7/Cremona-M;...

I have just moved into Naim-land for the first time and am delighted with my Unitiqute.  I have ripped all my CDs into FLAC using EAC and have them on my PC which has Windows Media Player.  All the folders look fine, showing pictures and...

If rumours cited by MacRumours from The Telegraph are to be believed Apple are set to introduce a new version of AirPlay that works directly using its own 'ad hoc' wireless connection rather than a wifi network.  Could this be the reason for...

Hi I've just bought an ex demo Superuniti to partner with some preowned Kudos C10's. All working ok, the C10's seemed a little light in bass and very bright in a typical sized dining room however the characteristic seems to be changing a lot...
