Streaming Audio

I thought I would post something on using metadata (tags) to organise your music collection for streaming. It may (or may not) be of interest to others particularly those starting off and ripping a CD collection. I didn't plan it like this it just...

I've recently bought a Unitiqute and consequently I'm expanding my collection of downloaded music fairly rapidly.  I've noticed that the file listing in n-Stream often takes quite a while to catch up when I've added new folders or reorganised...

Dear all, Why naim don't use the "Gracenote" DB for database query on their ripping system ? It will best for worldwire people to query their national album. Marco

I have edited a few albums on my ns01 that the Naim software could not identify, but what happens with this information  is it stored locally or transmitted to one of the data bases. If it is stored zlocally is it part of the backups performed by...

In the car? at a friends home, in my (as yet undetermined portable device)... Dont tell me to take my US with me...  does anyone own a Naim car stereo deck or do I need to roll Bentley to get into one?

Hi all, Just trying to get some advice. If I play music from my Mac Mini (2012 via optical) into my Naim Dac using iTunes and BitPerfect, is it any different in SQ than playing through a Naim streamer, say NDX? I have a flac library and use a...

Anyone interested or not yet seen, Tone Audio (the US online mag) has reviewed the nDAC (w/ and w/o the 555PS) in their latest issue.

This summer we are celebrating the staff, suppliers, retailers and customers around the world that make us ‘ A Great British Naim ’. We want to know what Naim means to you, so we are inviting our social media users to share their stories of Naim with us. Get involved by visiting us on Facebook and telling us just what Naim means to you and your story as a Naim customer (past, present or aspiring). The best entries will be featured on the Naim website and the single best entry, as judged by...

So last night Unitiserve starts playing up...ipad can't connect...desktop controller can't see unitiserve...uniti can't see unitiserve...no amount of shut down/ restart changes the situation  .go switch off and go to bed disgruntled....this...

If I have a UnitiQute connected via ethernet cable to the network, would it be ableto "grab" the iTunes Library in my iMac in my study room? My library is in Apple Losslessat this moment. I think it works wireless but I prefer a more reliable wired...

New to the forum. Just purchased a Uniti.  Loving it so far. I tried to stream from my Macmini. Was able to operate with playback. No luck with allegro though. Allegro synced to my uniti, but somehow couldn't read my music library at...

I may be going crazy but playing tracks on spotify premium seems to sound better than playing the FLAC equivalent on iTunes with BitPerfect. I have optimised my BitPerfect settings as per the manual. Both options I have streamed from Mac mini into the...

I am committed to digital replay at home, but nevertheless still own a CD5XS.  I use the cd player as a transport into my nDAC, and at this point it does seem rather redundant to my uServe and NAS.  The only advantage it seems to provide is...

Since July 13. I am a proud owner of the NDS with 2x 555PS-DR Power Supplies and I can tell you, it is fantastic now after playing a while The Sound is near to my 555CD with 2x 556PS (which are not updated now to DR) Fantastic! Thanks to NAIM...

I use US->NDX and would like to improve my nstream search experience FROM browsing either a list of artists sorted by artists OR list of albums sorted by albums but with cover arts displayed TO album list sorted by artists with cover arts...

Have just starting the process of ripping my CDs to my new HDX ( plus NDac/XPS). Everything is going well so far! However I'm sure I have seen that double albums, Handels' Messiah, in this instance, can be combined into one.Can anyone tell me how to...

 The world of high-end hi-fi is becoming increasingly connected. CDs and vinyl are being replaced with digital music formats, and hard drives and streaming devices now help us find, store and enjoy...

Today I wanted to login to the vtuner site to get access to one of the stations that is not listed in the dtc list of vtuner stations, but I know is on the vtuner site. I wanted to use the mac address of the ns01, and tried to get the system...

My friend plays his music from iTunes on his computer to a Naim NDX. If he records in WAV format to iTunes his NDX doesn't see the track. With recordings in ALAC or AIFF he has no problem. I am sure its an easy fix???? Can anybody advise?

It may just be me but B&O have slipped out an odd little wireless bridge called the "Playmaker" as an attempt to tackle the threat posed by Sonos and move them deeper into streaming territory. It is an interesting yet really odd product; B&O seem oddly coy about its abilities beyond claiming both DLNA / AirPlay compliance with support for the usual range of file types. In theory it has potential but dealers seem as confused by this new device. For one thing there is no...

I recently changed a NDX5 XS with a Unitiserve 1GB and i have a few perplexities. -When i rip a cd and try to do other things like listen to music I get Errors and the disc freezes inside the unit.To eject the disc i have to softwere shutdown the unit and sometimes restart it a few times to eject it. -What is the normal temperatures ? My unit show 51° C HDD, 55° CPU and 60° C Arm Processor. Does the unit have a safety temperature protection? -A few times when I played ripped cd , the unit...

On another thread here which discussed limitations to file transfer and storage on the UnitiServe outside of ripping in the box (and by reference also the HDX/NS0x series swell)  the following responses were given to questions...

Hi All Has been running a Mac Mini headless for several years now and never had a problem but yesterday I was unable to see what was going on with the Mini (Screen Share) on my iMac. Mini connects via ethernet to a 1 Giga switch which also...

Hi Friends, Probably discussed earlier on the forum, but I couldn't find the according threads: does anybody now how exactly volume levelling works when streaming from a NAS. Does it affect sound quality? What piece of software is exactly...

Hi, i have a question.n-stream 3.0 for unitiqute and the unitiqute provides the function reverse or forward? with either the remote or with the application I can not quickly scroll through songs.  tx! Enrico
