Streaming Audio

Just a quicky If I wanted to connect a ND5 XS to a synology DS212j via network cable, where do I plug it in? The NAS only has one ethernet out/input and this is for connection to a modem, right? Sorry, very new to this. Regards

OK, first off...I'm quite surprised to be on this side of the forum fence and quite a jump it is getting my head around all the technicalities and jargon but I've decided to go the HDX (1tb model) 555 Dac route as this best suits my future...

I am running the latest n-stream on the uniti but album art doesn't display. FYI, my music files resides in a NAS (synology ds712). They are ripped to flac using dbpoweramp and I have album art tagged as well as the album image file 'folder.jpg'...

Can someone tell me what the unitiserve is ( doing ) when turned on but not being used..it makes  a sort of v quiet ticking sound ( random ) as though the hard drive is actually doing something.   Also does anyone else find that they can...

Hi guys, hope you can help on this one...... After so many problems with an Iomega NAS I bought a Synology DS212 and I'm having problems finding and playing my 24/96 and 24/192 files.All other music can play fine using the inbuilt media server on...

I've yet to read a satisfactory explanation of why the Naim ripping engine is superior to others so was interested to read comments on the Stereophile website from the Sound Organisation. Links aren't allowed (google - sound organisation stereophile naim nds) so i'll quote - Naim’s server products sound so great for a couple of reasons: First, they rip into WAV, which is an uncompressed format that requires less processing to play back than lossless formats like FLAC. For example, there is...

I have now read through hundreds of forum messages and am still confused. What I would really appreciate is a simple set of instructions telling me how to do it. Objective:   Play ripped CD's and downloaded music through a UniQute as well as...

Can anyone tell and clarify me the differences between Unitiserve-SSD and NDX in music playback? Of coz US can rip CD and play internet radio and NDX can have digital radio supported. However in music playback, both can stream music data...

I have a UnitiServe Hard Disc Player / Server. When I follow the link from this unit's web page to Set IP Tool I get the instructions for the Desktop Client Interface. Although written for the HDX I presume it also applies  to my...

Hi   If I didn't want to use my iPad to control NDX via nStream, is there an app I can use on my iComputers?   I see something on the appstore called Qute Control for UQ but don't want to take a punt because it is not free [and feedback reviews are variable!]   Cheers, Julian

Hi! I just wanted to check if the ND5XS is able to play whatever audio-file from an USB-external-HD.So I just put about 300GB music on it. The external drive is now on FAT32 and has an external power supply. And how nice: the ND5XS...

Any moderator or someone with first hand experience have any exposure to the difference between the stand alone DAC + 555PS vs the NDS with its internal DAC + 555PS?  if one has a server and a DAC + 555 PS, would it be a sonic gain or loss to...

With more hi-res content appearing on iradiothere is likely to be some good live material that I would like to be able to capture from my hdx. I understand how I could do this by running iradio on a pc, but I would like the functionality I had...

I have nstream installed on both my iPad and iPhone; it works flawlessly on the iPad. It works for a while on the iPhone, then decides it's going to load and exit instantly. The splash screen starts, then just exits. This all happens in less than 1...

Hi All, Just a couple of questions... I recently purchased a couple of Linn Studio Master downloads and while they are beyond superb and better than anything I have heard before and have noticed that I have to crank up the volume on the...

Hello there I have what may seem a simple question....when I have finished ripping my CDs to the unitiserve I feel that some further backup will be required! I understand that the unitiserve can only back up to network attached storage? That being the...

I'm looking to get some of the albums I've ripped via my Unitiserve and NAS into iTunes so I can load them onto iPods / iPhones etc.I'm using Max to convert from wav -> m4a but am struggling to get track names and numbers converted across.Is this...

I've not used the sub out on the SN in the past but I do have a REL sub. Some time ago I had the sub hooked up via the speaker cables but, while it gave some extra body in the mid range, when I disconnected it I found there was a lot more clarity...

Using a UnitiServe SSD contacted to a NAS, all control is fine with the N-Serve (iPhone) and Desktop Client (PC), try to change the Genres of some albums using the direct control of the UServe Mouse port and VGA output, go into System...

I have a specific little issue with iRadio when trying to add new stations on a SuperUniti. When searching with the Naim remote I was looking at all stations listed under New York — currently there's 465 — and when I try to go the last one from the first, reverse scrolling from 1 to 465, the system hangs, and the station playing stops. I can reverse scroll under other geographical locations with the remote. Perhaps this is unlikely but has anyone else noticed this or would like to check out...

I'm running twonky on a readynas. 99% of the time I go into twonky from n stream and select album artists and everything works fine. Today I thought I would browse by genre, and it gave me a list of albums. Selecting albums gave me a list of something...

Has anyone tried comparing CAS via M2Tech Evo versus ND5xs all feeding into nDAC? I currently have the nDAC already, and am looking for a medium-term solution before getting something serious like an NDS. NDX is a little out of my price range at...

I have a Virgin Media Superhub Router wiich is fine and connects a SB Touch (toy before taking the plunge)to my Asset NAS 4TB server and will soon be connecting to either NDX or NDS. My question is - why do I need an Ethernet Switch (Gigabit?)...

Another dumb question but all contributions gratefully received. I am a MAC user firstly and am using XLD to rip CD's and Switch to convert existing files and as a tag editor where necessary. So far so good. The problem I am having is with...

To Drobo or Not to Drobo Thought I'd document my experiences with a Drobo, what it is, why I chose one, and what I now think of it having had a play. Why did I buy the box? I have been toying with ripping my DVDs for a few years, but have felt no real need, and so have been using an old PC as my NAS for my music files, with a couple of external USB HDDs; but whilst fitting a couple of lights in the house a fortnight ago I turned off the power, and the old PC refused to wake back up, RIP.
