Streaming Audio

Has anyone got or trialled the simple audio Roomplayer II? Have currently got a sonos connected to a Rega DAC but am interested in seeing what 24 bit has to offer. Looks like sonos have got no imminent plans to add 24bit to the sonos despite the...

Updated to new version - ability to adjust volume has been greyed out & isn't working. Also got random error message saying file format unsupported - for a ripped cd! Rebooting the Qute fixed the "file format " issue, volume control still playing up Also why is the ability to use the new elements coming "Summer" for everything except a product bought 10 minutes ago? - really poor

A lot of attention is being given to these "new" power dacs without an analogue section at all. I wonder if Naim would ever consider this approach since it has huge advantages in terms of cost / SQ and their network streamers might benefit from...

HelloUntil now I have used a windows based twonkey media server and as a better choice an Asset (which is the best) media server, mainly to stream music to my Naim ND5XS (Firmware 3.09). To control the server and the Naim, I had Elyric, n-Stream and...

Can anyone tell me how I can listen to radio shows on the BBC iPlayer via my Qute? My machine is Windows7, and I want to do this wirelessly. Thanks Gavin

I have been reading the 'NDS Appeciation Thread' with some interest, and if I am honest with myself, a little envy every now and then.  To those of you investing in this aspirational piece of hardware, enjoy... However I had an epiphany...

Hi I don't want a NAS. But I do want to backup my unitiserve hdd. Can this be as simple as connecting a USB drive to the serve? Thanks. Jason

I have an external hard disk attached to my Netgear router as NAS. When I set it up as network share, UnitiServ can play all the AIFF files with no problem. However, if I change the NAS to music store, all the music could not been seen by Unitiserv...

Hi Mates, I intend to buy a single bay NAS which could work hand in hand with my streamer (NDX).What models should be taken into consideration ? Subjective exprerience ?Any posts welcomed.

Just about to add an NDx & UnitiServe to my system and wondered if I could use the spare capacity on the Time Capsule as backup rather than adding a dedicated NAS drive. New to streaming and any advice would be appreciated

Hi. I downloaded Steely Dan Gaucho today to play on my Naim Uniqute. There are two issues which wondered if anyone else has experienced: 1) the nStream iPad app reports the files to be type Wav 44khz when they are Flac and supposed to be 96Khz 2)...

My set up is iTunes from iMac, stored on NAS or on board mac. USB output from Mac to Terralink X2/ PSU (USB to CoAx converter) to kit DAC, and then to NAC 82. Seems like a pretty standard looking USB cable. I've noticed that the USB (small...

Hi all, What do you think, it is worth to invest in an more expensive optical cable?At this moment I use an entry Oehlbach optical cable. Will a wireworld supernova for example improve?Maybe someone can post his own findings between an entry...

Hi all, I have a (network) problem with my HDX. I have an older Windows XP laptop on which I have set up a folder with a number of downloaded music files, merely some music for my kids. Hence I don't use it very often. Recently, I...

I wouldn't normally do this, but I'm cross-posting something I've just written on the Gramophone Forum - I suspect there isn't much common readership! I think the topic is relevant here and I would be interested in Naim owners' views. Paul Having recently taken the plunge and bought a streamer capable of playing 192/24 downloads (Naim SuperUniti, with thanks to Mr Everard), I'd like to buy a few. Well, I have bought two or three, stuff on the Naim and Linn labels, but I'd like to buy more...

Any sign of the new NDS

Hi all DSD downloads are getting more popular by the day. Haven't downloaded any as I own a superuniti. Anyone any knowledge on potential DSD playback on superuniti in the near future? Or is the superuniti hardware not be able to handle the...

Dear all, We've had a Uniti in the house since it came out and now need to send it in for repairs. As we already have to hand it over to Naim we wonder whether we also should take advantage of some of the other options at the same time. In...

A post on Naim's FriendFace page on Friday seem to suggest a lot of activity this week! New stuff? I'm waiting for a full classic pre/dac/streamer. Tog

How is it that Cambridge Audio can update firmware via the internet for their "stream magic" brand and Naim cannot - just a thought. Tog

There seems to be an increasing number of CDs being re-issued as remastered 24 bit. When I rip these to my NAS using my HDX SSD, they only show up as 16 bit. What is the chance that at some point, there will be a software upgrade to allow them to be...

Have some problems with a.m.  new unit to transfer CD to my mac mini.Some CD will not identify from the super drive and will eject.Has anyone had the same experiences?Maybe I shall change the unit.My windows laptop identify the CDs without any ...

Is there any way to get the HDX to play from an external site via HTTP or HTTP Live Streaming? So I could have a small bookmarklet in my browser and drag an URL from a webpage and drop it on the bookmarklet which then hands it over to the HDX...

Hi All I'm interested to know what do the Mac users out there typically use as a file format? My current setup is ND5xs, iMac, all cd's ripped to AIFF in iTunes and everything is wired from a connection point of view. I'm currently using the...

Having to manually add in album covers and sometimes even track information. Problem is when I select the cover art in nserve, everything looks fine. When I then go into nstream a few mins later, there the cover art is missing on the album view, but...
