Streaming Audio

Currently I have both my Uniti & UnitiServe hard wired via Ethernet to a gigabit switch connected to my router. As both units now sit close together, could anyone advise if it would be beneficial from a sound quality perspective to now feed the Uniti by the UServe via coaxial or toslink? I also assume I will then be able to use NServe (ncluding its queing / track forward & rewind etc) rather than NStream for playback? All thoughts welcome

Just downloaded the 24/192 edition and my Superunity hangs :"connecting please wait"While in itunes on my Mac it plays fine ...Anyone has a solution ?

Hi, I have recently purchased a SN and NDX . I am looking for new speakers preferably floor standers. Room size is 3.5 m by 7m . Budget around 2- 2.5K £. Music taste is mainly hard rock , rock and electric blues . I have seen the naim 400s which look very big for my room , I have home demoed PMC 23s with the SN and NDX the dealer had given me for a home demo. I plan to do so again once my new kit has run in. I liked the sound though some songs had a boomy bass at the dealers demo room and at...

Just a quick question. If a compressed file at, say, 192 kpbs is burnt to a CD and then ripped at say 320 kbps, then will any further compression occur compared to if the CD was ripped as say a WAV file? In other words, do compressed formats...

From the Naim site: Double storage with new 2TB hard drive Naim’s HDX and UnitiServe along with the NaimNet servers NS01, NS02 and NS03 now have double storage capacity through a new 2TB drive which offers space for approximately 2,400 uncompressed albums. The new hard drive also allows the user to save music downloads or music ripped prior to owning a Naim server to a ‘Downloads’ folder on the unit easily from any operating system (Windows, iOS, Linux). Does the above (in red) mean that the...

I have recently bought a UnitiServe which will connect to my SuperNail, I would really appreciate some advise about setting up this system. I have an iMac with a Time Capsule wireless network, although the UnitiServe does not have a wireless...

Considering options for moving to a streaming set up ... Budget dictates that it's probably only a source upgrade at the moment; the likes of the SU is out of question at the moment. Obviously a demo is necessary but I was just wondering if anyone...

Help! I have burned two discs using 'Disc utility' on my iMac. (Not sure if either of them are correct) The first disc : 1.6c software updater.iso.I put this in the Unitiserve SSD, and after about 30 seconds it ejected the disc. Then...

Hi,In my current system I use an ns01 into  NDAC as my only source.In a serious attack of need for new tweeks, I have been thinking about the earth switches on both devices, how they should be set.I seem to remember that both ns01 and ndac has an...

Hi guys -- I think it's time to ditch the CDX2 and move to a streaming solution, and I'd love some help from the forum. I tried searching this and various other fora, and while I think I've managed to glean some information, I'm still a bit...

I'm only getting a low bitrate version of Radio 3 through Naim Favourites on my ND5. I am outside the UK but I can still get the 320k version on other devices, so I don't think this is the problem. Is it the same for everyone? Chris

I have noticed that the n stream app is not picking up album art work that is black and white/monochrome (it appears fine on my other dnla clients). I add some colour via an editing tool and hey presto it appears on n stream. Has anyone else come...

Hi all Is there likely to be much of a difference in audio quality if I stream from my mac/ext hard drive to my Uniti, or hard wire it into the router? I've got a standard Sky router and a very awkward set up if I'm going to hard wire, so would...

Hi, apologies if this questiion has been asked before but what tags am I missing as when I view by albums on the n stream app the album title appears twice? Any advice welcomed, thanks

Hi all, Please note that I have been reading posts and trying to understand what is better.  Ignoring the NDS for now, I am trying to astertain whether it is the internal power supply that makes the NDX better than the ND5xs.  I am also...

If I open my UnitiServe there are several folders under Music: EX, HQ, LQ, MQ. What do they stand for? I would assume HQ, LQ and MQ refer to he quality of the ripping but All my ripped music is in the MQ (Medium Quality?) folder and I thought I...

Hi, There is one radio station (it is called RMF Lady Pank) I want to listen but somehow I cannot add it into the ‘added stations’ menu on the Uniti. I can see it in the vtuner menu when I log in or type Uniti’s MAC address, I can listen to it on the pc via browser but when I add the station URL (vtuner’s url) my Uniti says that it cannot be played. Is this the case that not all stations are available for Naim stremers?

Hi there! What is better: To let Asset transcode the FLAC-file on my PC to WAV or stream it in Asset as a FLAC, using the default "FLAC as is" replay? When I check FLAC as WAV, the ND5Xs shows in the info the file as WAV...

Last week I took delivery of my first Naim components consisting of 282/250/Hi-Cap/DAC/Stageline/UnitiServe. Everything is breaking in nicely and I am enjoying the system more every day.As of yet I have not been successful in streaming any of the...

Hi everyone, I have a problem. On my Naim Desktop Client when I prompt all genres on the right pannel, they are not sorted by name (alphabetically). Is there something to do in order to solve this ? this is really annoying when I want to assign...

Hi all, These questions I prefer to ask the forum about before speaking directly to my dealer, as I like to be prepared beforehand. I am under the impression that the NDS (and logically the NDX and ND5x) can extract information from its...

Hi all, I am aware that the NDS is out now and will be Naim's pinnacle digital product, but logic is getting the better of me as surely inputting a *.wav file into this gives an extra component in the chain than going straight into the nDAC? Thus...
