I really need to process apple lossless via upnp. Using a MAC for storage i have tried various upnp server software. All have been either buggy or really slow. In fact the only Upnp software i have been happy with is the one that comes bundled with the latest squeezeserver software (tested using flac), unfortunately this doesn't transcode from alac to flac. So i am left with the option of either running with dual storage (flac and alac) or spending £300 for a hardware upgrade. This is really...

Hello all, I have now almost finished ripping the full CD collection. I think I am up to about 1200 albums which is an amazing amount of choice to have at my finger tips and is greatly increasing the range of what I listen to. One...

anyone had a total failure,no power indicated. can hear the transformer buzzing . purchased just after the release day /////nd5 back to dealer. £2000 gear shouldnt have this type of failure at this age

I have recently changed my internet service provider and replaced by mark 1 BT home hub with a "n" spec router.  To my ears there has been a small but noticable improvement in sound quality but one problem is still unresolved. I downloaded a...

Yeah I know - Asset runs on Windoze or its ugly cousin Windoze Home Server but I've been playing with Asset UPnP again for the last few days and I still like it. Actually I like V3 a lot - It's quick , runs most codecs and handles Cover Art at...

The Streaming Audio forum has 3000 posts since the first in August 2006!  Not much activity until 2008 with the release of the HDX.  No stopping since then. Moore's law???  

Being a Mac user and a relative newcomer to quality audio streaming I am wondering what ripping software other Naim and Mac owners out there use? I am currently using a last generation Iomega Stor Centre Raid for my music (which I intend to...

Hiya If you delete all the albums on the server - how do you get it to remove the artist as well? I now have an artist with no albums under it but can't find a way of removing it through the desktop client - should I just delete the file on...

Can anybody point me at a really simple set of instructions for setting up a NAS as a music server for my planned Naim streamer purchase. I'd like to have a good number of CDs ready ripped before getting the streamer.I have purchased a Qnap NAS as it...

i have supernait with hicap and creek cd50mk2,i also have a squeezebox v3 into sn by coaxial. thought my source is not naim's.so i want to get a naim's source.i did search the forum,to find which is better between ndx and dac both on bare.but it is a...

Just listening to ND5XS/nDAC/XPS2 and I'm impressed :) I borrowed the ND5XS for the weekend and will write down my conclusions on Monday.

My NDX has just got back from a trip home to Salisbury to have the 24/192 streamer board fitted. It's warming up again nicely and certainly sounding in fine fettle. As others have said, n-stream is noticeably more responsive than before. Great job ...

Hi,  My existing computer that has maims desk top client running on it and I assume it controls my Naim network. I run a nServ SSD which controls my Nas, then into a NDX etc. Two questions: If I change computer will I have to...

Bought a second-hand pair of Klipsch RF-82 II and a Naim Nait 5i for my office, if nothing else it will keep me from falling asleep! Now, I have a Macbook Air combined with a Apple Thunderbolt display in my office and I need to stream audio from...

After spending more than a week in:-setting up the NAS (the latest Synology 712+);copying the music files into the NAS while preserving iTune file structure;hunting for the cat. 7 lan cables;extracting the embedded album art from the 15,000 plus aiff...

Evening. I have a nDAC (with FLAC update) but when playing FLAC via USB stick, there is background clicking/popping. The files in question are Talking Heads 'Remain in Light', the HD Tracks "hi-res remaster" released as FLAC. Converting...

My old router (a Belkin) played 24/192 files (such as Meet Me in London) played OK from UnitiServe into nDAC.  A little buffering if the NAS was doing anything else but on the whole fine when the system was dedicated to playing music.I have...

 I know this is not a Mac forum, but many here use macs, so maybe others have experienced something similar.I want to use my Mac Mini as a share for my ns01. This means I have to enable file sharing on the Mac. The machine is a Mini from midt...

I just downloaded and installed the new 3.13 streaming software update on my NDX. The DSP software has been updated for the first time in a while. I've not noticed any downsides to the release and the NDX sounds just as good as before if not slightly...

Having bought 'Meet me in London' at 192/24 to play on my SU, I find my mains over Ethernet, which is perfectly happy at 96/24, won't play it satisfactorily, the buffer running out every twenty seconds or so. The gear is Solwise Gigabit, theoretically...

Looking for a server device to store my music, I was studying the U serve specs. I wonder about the Power Supply offered identical to any PC. I do use Power Lines on my system and I am very pleased with the results. I expect to be able to Upgrade...

Hi, I have a u-serve-ndac-xps ...I have moved 4 weeks ago into a new place.  As soon as I move in, the system was set up and everything went fine until about 10 days ago.  I was listening to music and the music stopped playing for a...

For what its worth, there is an interesting review of the Naim ND5 XS in the Awards 2011 issue of Hi-Fi Choice magazine (Issue No. 352).

This might be quite a sensitive topic so I need to tread carefully. I have a UQ in my bedroom that is quite some distance from the modem and is separated by two solid wooden doors! As a result, I often suffer from wireless dropout. Naim has come out...

My HDX is the preferred UPnP server to my NDX.  Would the HDX's UPnP performance be improved by adding a power supply, or is it only the analogue side of the HDX that benefits from external power? Reason for asking is this: currently have...
