What does "use hifi language" do when it is chosen in the n-stream setup?
Hi all. I think I remember some talk on here a while back about dbPoweramp now supporting lossless FLAC. FLAC is always lossless though is it not? My understanding is as follows: FLAC is lossless. It's a compression which is reversed when the FLAC...
Hi, I spent most of this weekend ripping all of my 300+ CD's onto my computer in Apple lossless, partly as a back-up, but also because i am seriously considering moving further away from CD and closer to streaming my music. I currently have a CD5i-2 going to 122x/150x and love the sound i am getting. So i guess my question is..What is the best way of streaming music to my amps? I dont have a lot to spend..probably £500 or so, but i will sell the CD5i-2 to increase funds if i can get the same...

Hi everyone, I have a Unitiqute into which I stream WAV files which were ripped using dbpower power amp. Currently I stream this via a standard usb hard drive connected into a technicolor modem/router which has some form of upnp software. The...
Hi All, I would appreciate any comments, pointers or general information which could help me towards a rational decision. I have been listening to analogue and digital hi-fi all my life and have now decided to move into the streaming environment. I have ripped / am ripping my 2000 CD's with dbpoweramp on my mac through parallels into the FLAC format. I have recently auditioned the superuniti into ovator's and the Linn Majik DS into Linn - based speakers but I'm afraid for a cost of about 9K...
Hi all I've recently taken the plunge and bought myself a NAS drive and a copy of DbPoweramp with the intention of starting to rid myself of the shelves of cds. I've not yet settled on a streamer although thats probably going to be an...
I selected the BBC radio 3 proms on my NDX on the hidef trial this evening - Swan Lake. My istream says 57kbs AAC, but I don't believe, as the replay is incredible through my NDAC. Does anyone know what it really is? Or is the Nstream telling the...
Hi, I have a NDX and a Netgear Duo with an in built Twonky uPnP server. Works well apart from some cover art issues (which Steven Shaw has kindly posted a fix to) but I would like to transcode my flac files to WAV using the Netgear. I tired the...

I've been mulling over the Signals DR thread, plus others here and in 'the other place' where the quality of WAV vs. FLAC has been debated. I think everyone agrees that the FLAC decompression algorithm produces a bit perfect stream, but that the...
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...
Hello, Very interested in a Uniti (1st generation unit) as a source to be connected to a 122x to be used as a CD player and streaming device. Can this be done or is it a stand alone unit? My 122x is powered by a FC2x and also have a...
Hi,I have a very strange problem with one album on my ns01 internal disk.The album will not play, instead I get a lot of error messages, each track is tried and fails. I am sure that the album played ok when it was ripped a few months back. If I...
I used this function last month to find about 500 meta data. I tried to use it last night & couldn't use this function - as if it never existed I've deleted, reboot & reload the nserve. Still no luck. Help!
Well, the title speaks for itself.Almost every album detail in the new N-Stream brings up the man with his views on the recording.Well, that's fair enough. But does seem a bit restrictive.I appreciate the man's efforts - but they are only his...
I changed my router and now have a new network. Nserve on the ipad does not see the unitiserve on the network when auto connection is switched on. It says no servers present. When i look at my albums, they are all available so i dont get why...
I took delivery of a new 252 just before Christmas and seem to be having problems with controlling the pre-amp via the NDX. It all worked perfectly with my old pre-amp and it's still working the NDAC faultlessly. All the controls are on the app but...
