Streaming Audio

Hello, I just took home a new Unitiserve and started ripping a few CDs and putting some music in the Download folder, and have it hooked up via DC1 to the nDac/555PS. All is fine, except that I often hear some crackling in the music replay and can't understand or pin point the reason. It is not constant, so I'm sure something it is something specific causing this, and I've checked all my cables. I also hear, but only from from time to time, a small (1 - 2 sec) repetition of the audio being...

I bought one of the new model Apple Airport Expresses and thought it might be worth sharing a few thoughts for anyone considering using one in their audio setup:The size and appearance are very similar to the current AppleTV, only in white and with a...

The perennial I am sure but here goes.I am using the above combination saving my music to the NAS in FLAC format with jlegs labelled as 'Cover' in the a Ropriate folders. So far so good. I want to start saving as WAV but so far without much...

Is there really no "PEOPLE" in N-Serve?  -I have only just installed it, but I cannot find it.This is a problem for me because I can find tracks by searching in Desktop Client (DCI) which I do not find using N-Serve. also is there a way to...

 Is the way the various data/metadata are searched and edited documented? In DCI you can see "properties" per album or per track (depending on the album) which apparently cannot (always?) be searched.  Then there are the   People...

Can someone shed some light on why I am experiencing better sound with a CD rip vs a DVD-A rip? I've downloaded the DVD-Audio Extrator and set about ripping a copy of The Beatles 'Love' album. The settings within the program were: DVD...

I have just read the HiFi+ review of the SU. Well there are two reviews actually, one by Chris Thomas and one by Malcolm Steward. Both extremely positive, however Steward says something that confuses me: "…if you want the finest performance use a decent quality CAT6 patch lead for connection to your network, particularly if you wish to exploit the SU's hi-definition capabilities. (Be sure the connection between the SU and your NAS/music storage device is unshielded CAT6 from end to end)."...

Ok, new Hdx and on some cd's getting clearerrors from the rip... But no errors from the ripping report...  Any help?  For the money I frankly expect perfection OR a clear. "hey polish up the disk and rerip"

A little while ago I purchased the Unitiserve – and now, having ripped well over 150 cd’s, am hooked on the concept. I’m finding that the album information (like others?), that is presented is infuriating, in it’s inconsistency, inaccuracies, oddities, and very occasionally, by just being totally wrong. This is making the finding of a recording rather time consuming sometimes . I’ve concluded that I would like to do is enter album data, or edit what is there by direct keyboard entry via a...

For some reason my n-Stream app has stopped working.It will sometimes detect the Uniti on set-up but then fail to find it when I try to change inputs/volume etc.Other times it simply fails to detect the Uniti at all. Internet radio is working fine...

A purely academic query prompted by a different thread.If you're streaming files with artwork embedded from a NAS to a Uniti using n-Stream on an iPhone as a control point - does the Uniti read the artwork and then transmit that data to the iPhone?Or...

Can this be used without the remote control? I understand the remote that comes with the duet may be needed for initial set up, however does the IPend or the logitech official app work as a substitute for the official remote during the set up...

Got an odd problem that has cropped up with my uniti.  Specs/network first: uniti is wired and always has been, music served by Asset running on a windows home server.  Uniti is running 2.0.23.10733 firmware.  Network is laid out...

Im sure this is has an obvious answer but can someone explain the term "gapless playback" with respect to network streaming. It seems to be mentioned as an issue for certain streamers, and im wondering what it means.

I have a Naim Stereo Hifi system (HDX, Supernait, NAT 05) in my living room. To listen music in the kitchen I am thinking to buy a  Sonos Zone Player Z5 speaker system. The question is that if it's possible to connect the Sonos Zone player with...

Just downloaded McCartneys RAM album in hi res to my ds212j NAS. Appears on my mac directory and through synology's online interface file browser, but I can't see the album on my nStream app on on my nd5 xs. Can any one help? Have I missed something...

I've searched the forum but it must be that my questions are so mind bogglingly dumb that noone has dared to ask before...... 1.  If I place a 'music' folder on my home-pc (which the HDX is networked to) can I download music into that folder...

I listen quite a bit to iRadio and enjoy the diversity of the radio stations immensely and it's suitability as background music. One of my favourite stations is the above station which sounds very good despite its 64 kbps limitation. Recently I've...

Can a UnitiQute connect to my Uniti Serve wirelessly over my network?  I'm trying to figure out if I can use it as a wireless headphone amp/streamer?    Thanks.  

Just come across something that wasn't obvious to me from the Asset help files. I'm currently transferring some of my favourite LPs to digital format for use with the NDX in my study AV system (alas, there is no way I can fit a turntable in...

Dear all,I have added Jazz FM on 'Added Stations' (128 kbps AAC via vtuner*) on my ND5XS and have assigned it a radio preset. Somewhat annoyingly, when I select the preset (or select the added station directly), the ND5XS often takes _minutes_ with...

Dear NDX-Users and Connoisseurs, Why are tracks played in alphabetical order instead of the normal order of the the track numbers (in some albums)? This becomes particularly disturbing when you listen to classical music or an album where the...

I have asked what is the difference between wma 9.2 and wma 9.2 lossless but cannot find an answer of the web and sadly none of the forum members are able to help. My plan now is to see if asset can be used to "read" wma 9.2 lossless files so I...

I see that Linn have written and open sourced their own UPNP media server.Available for Windows and OSX, with a Linux build underway.Anyone tried this yet?

What is the difference between the 2 formats ?  I have downloaded the trial version of dbPoweramp and my goflex nas (with built-in upnp server) will allow my ndx to play cds ripped to windows media audio 9.2 but will not those ripped to 9.2...
