Streaming Audio

Hi all, Will the sound be better plugging a USB into the NDX first before being fed into the nDAC and a XPS? I understand that I have another component in the chain with the NDX put in, but I have also gathered that the amount of jitter received by...

Been ripping all weekend and now have files sprayed all over my music folder. Learning the dBpoweramp editing and dynamic filenaming as I go along. It's generally pretty good, but there have been some oddities that I didn't spot as the ripping was...

will the ndx connect to your itunes library on its own or do you need to some other peace of equipment to make the talk to each other

Just received my NDX just connected it up, closed my eyes and preyed ............WOW not only did it find my itunes library (re-installed to AIFF)but sounded great.......so just wanted to say thanks to James for taking me step by step through lossless...

I have been enjoying the NDX connected wirelessly to a QNAP NAS on my home network. I just upgraded my virgin media broadband (faster internet & super hub router). I can access this new internet / router on my laptop &iphone but when I enter the passcode into the NDX it says it can't login. The instruction guide indicates that if the network configuration has been altered (as in my case) you may have problems. I referred to the instruction manual &...

I'm currently running a Synology NAS, Mac Mini, HDX, 52 etc. It all sounds beautiful  but especially good when not going through the mac mini and the NDX plays the files directly through UPnP, I still however like the iTunes interface for...

Hi, I got my NDX a few days ago and have been using it with a connected pc with J-River installed and using n-stream on an Ipad to control the music stored on the pc. On the Ipad I chose a track which is not playable by the...

I powered up my NDX at the weekend after consigning my CDX2 and my CD collection to history (not without a twinge of doubt) plugged it into my well warmed XPS. Maybe naively not expecting the level of variability in sonic performance as it has...

Hi all, Just a quick note to anyone looking for a music manager for MAC. Swinsian seems pretty useful. I have only used Media Monkey very very briefly, but it seems a rough equivalent and reasonably priced too. I point it at the music library on...

sorry if this has been asked before -- i am too old to invoke search, but is it possible to store the full liner notes along with any CD that one rips on the U/S SSD. if so, please advise how.  i find the only  info i can get is track info...

The samples that make up a piece of digital music should hit the D/A-converter w/o getting corrupted. How hard can it be? A streamer with a built-in D/A-converter should have no problem with that. When the poor samples have to travel over...

Hi all, I have promptly received my NDX and I am mightily impressed with it! I am connecting it to the nDAC which has warmed well with its XPS but now I am perplexed why the digital out is 96kHz 24bit and not 176kHz which is what recording studios...

Has anyone taken the plunge and updated their UnitiServe / Unitiserve SSD software to version 1.6c? After downloading the update in order to burn it to DVD, I noticed that Naim have not provided any instructions for UnitiServe (Only HDX). I...

Hi all Sorry for appearing dense (I mostly listen to vinyl and am a complete streaming virgin), but I have some 48kHz/24 bit FLAC files that I wish to burn to CD. Converting from FLAC to AIFF is easy, but how on earth do I get the files in a...

OK, my first ever post, so here goes....... Have settled on my preferred NDX configuration to date. Asus Netbook Win 7 320Gb HD (fanless CPU design) £220 Asset UPNP server FLAC files (installed on Netbook hard disk) Spotify & NDX internet radio via Netbook WiFi connection to Router/modem Netbook direct E/net wired (i.e. single Cat6 lead without Enet switch) to NDX NDX (with powerline) + DC1 + Ndac (with TXPS) Nait XS + HiCap + NACA5 + Monitor Audio 20SE Have benefit of dedicated...

I'm a long term Naim fan with a CDS1, 52 and 135s, which I love. I have been looking at streaming options and I'm using an Airport Express, optical link and old Deltec PDM2 Dac at the moment to try things out. Naim confirmed today that...

If / when I get hold of a NAS storage device how no I physically make a back up from a Unitiserve...I am a mac user so don't have dtc...will the nas drive just "see" the Unitiserve and then back up ?...I presume I do actually need a separate NAS...

I've just upgraded from Cyrus kit to a UnitiQute and I'm amazed by the sound quality difference. I need new speakers and I'm keen to understand which speaker and cable would you recommend befitting a Qute? My musical tastes leans towards pop, rock and...

Evening Guys,I need your help. I have a Netgear Ready NAS v2 and a Naim NDX. All of my music was moved off my HDX onto the NAS and converted into FLAC. I ripped a cd earlier. It appears in the library on the NAS however I cant see it on the N-Stream...

New to this - can anyone tell me why I shouldnt rip to WAV on the Windows Media Player as opposed to using say EAC or dbpoweramp?  Thank you Kim

Hi all, My decision has been to pursue the streaming pathway and I am preparing for the arrival of the NDX as I reckoned that the NDS requires the foresight of a 552 and that is a few years off. But what I need clarification on is how files compare....

Hi all, I have read several posts and consulted the manual for the NDX regarding UPnP streaming. What I gave gathered is that Windows Media Player Version 11 upwards can stream to the NDX (and of course the NDS and the ND5xs)..... So why have...

Hi All, I've just been in touch with the Kremlin to enquire after changing out the twin 400 Gb hard drives for either a single 1Tb, or the recently announced 2 Tb. The answer was that " this is not an upgrade that we offer". Fair...

Hi, I don't know if this will be permitted, but I have sped up my broadband from 5.5Mbit/s to 8.5Mbit/s just by fitting an I plate. Outstanding!!! I will not give the link as that implies marketing and goes against Naim protocol, but if you haven't...

Any idea when it's coming ? The new streaming boards have been out for around 6 months now so come on Naim lets get some useful functionality into this app. James
