Streaming Audio

I have a Supernait/Hicap and some Harbeth C7s, and my Mac Mini is my source, using the optical out. It's the latest mini on the market, so apparently low jitter. Overall the system sounds good, even with Mp3, but anyone serious about hifi would say...

I am new to Naim and the forum, so please excuse me if the subject has been covered already or please point me in the right direction. If not does anyone have any positive experiences of isolation / coupling etc. etc. of an nDAC which currently...

Having solicited advice on here with respect to which NAS option to use as storage for my iTunes library to work with my NDX, I am edging towards the QNAP TS212.  Being a complete novice to all this, it seems this decision is only half...

Ok, so I know there isn't such a product, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it   I'm using a SN/HC2 on fraim, which sounds fabulous, but looks...unfinished. There is a gap (currently filled by a Sonos ZP90) that is just yearning for a...

Naim design some superb kit. But apart from the entry level stuff such as the Qute, once you begin to climb the ladder, it is assumed and expected you will progress to an analog preamp based system. Perhaps ending up with the 500 Classics...

I have an NDX and  a Uniti Serve. I can see the uniti Serve on my network , i can control it happily from the desktop client but when i go to the n-serve app on my IPod it says server not found. Previoulsy it has worked perfectly - any ideas anyone ?

So, I am currently using my Oppo BDP-95 as media player by going digital out into my Naim Dac. I have owned a ND5 XS for a couple of months ago and thought it was ok but I wasn't that impressed by it. Today I own a Naim Dac and thinking...

I just bought a new Mac Mini 1.5Tb server. Setup was a breeze. Copied over everything without issue and I'm away. Sounds nice. One nice new feature is the full HDMI output which means that when playing video (either downloaded, ripped or...

Hard to know where to put this question but seeing as ripping threw it up..... I'm noticing as I'm slowly ripping my collection to FLAC that some CDs particularly one's in vinyl replica cardboard cause dBoweramp to need to do a frame by frame rip...

Can anyone recommend a streamer without a DAC that would slot neatly between the UnitiServe and the Naim DAC ? Preferably at NDX SQ level, of course  . As I understand it, the Linn DS range all include DACs. Thanks, Jan 

I got the NDX upgrade notice from my dealer, i will go to upgrade it tomorrow.  Anyone know is it only improve the 24/192 support only ? Any other improve ? Cheers,marcobb

Anyone has made the comparison? I already has ndac and thinking of a streamer, should it be ndx or nd5? I could probably use the extra budget for a xp5xs.Appreciate any thoughts you would share.

I'm sure this is a stupid question but... If you have a Unitiserve serving an NDX can you control what you're listening to via the n-Serve app? I am aware that n-Stream controls the NDX, buut can either be used? It seems a pointless question, but I...

You meet a lot of people on this forum who obviously use iTunes as their media library. I have found iTunes very possessive in its approach. It will add tags which are unique to iTunes. I felt rather offended by that, which is why I have banned...

Not sure whether I should really be posting this in Padded Cell, but ... Spent a frustrating hour or so yesterday trying to setup the Netgear N600 ADSL Modem/Router which I have bought as a replacement for the (IMO) unreliable BTHomeHub2. All...

Hello, May I suggest few small improvements to nstreams used on my my brand new iphone to control my Uniti? (app version 2.2) GENERAL 1-Is it possible to add a numeric info for volume? 2-Some UI management features should be added. In example to...

 Has anyone done the following software update announced on 19th Jan 2012? What are the improvements? http://forums.naimaudio.com/di...nt/13111295372708974

Hi, I am new to this great forum. I am seriously considering adding a ND5 XS this month to my 5i. Have already auditioned the ND5 and to my ears it sounds very good. I have a question - does the ND5 stream Apple Lossless? Most of my CD collection is...

Hi all I recently got hold of a squeezebox touch and have been using the analogue out through an 82/High cap. Just out of interest, I tried the digital out through my AV2 and discovered that the volume control on the squeezebox still works. Presumably it must be re-writing the PCM at a different volume to the original incoming file? So the question is, as the squeezebox seems to have a usable volume control of its own, and other than my AV2, I will only be using that one source, do I...

I own a Nait XS and am basically very eager a buy a Naim streamer to complete the system. I am currently opérating a Squeezebox Touch via a Cambridge Audio DacMagic into the Nait XS. I am absolutely satisfied with the way it works. It's very comfortable and stable. Operation via iPeng on my iPod/Pad is perfect. I can rewind and fastforward within tracks, it plays AACs, FLACs, WAW and all other kinds of formats without a glinch. Having read through many of the posting on this forum, I have...

Have read many threads recommending a NAS. I use PM thru a HiFace into my nDac and am very pleased with it; PM recommend moving the iTunes library to an external drive which can then be accessed from the MacBook. This would be very useful as my 250gb...

With all of the talk around the ND5XS and the NDS, I thought I would muse aloud about this. When I put together my system last year, I opted for the UnitiServe/nDAC route, using the uServe as a ripper and as a player of the ripped music via SPDIF...

I have just sold my aging Linn Ikemi CD player and intend to replace it with a digital streaming device, for which I have already set up a NAS and ripped my CD's (FLAC) in preparation. I have already had number of streamers on home dem and prefer the sund of Naim in my otherwise all ATC system (SCA2 pre-amp and SCM50ASL loudspeakers). My wife and I found the Linn Akurate at £4.5K to sound too clinical for our tastes and actually prefered the warmer sound of the Naim ND5XS (£1.9K) - despite...

I wish to play music off a laptop through my Naim DAC. The missing link at the moment is the USB to S/PDIF converter. But which one would you recommend? In the Naim DAC white paper there is mention of the M-Audio Transit USB which no longer...

My interested was piqued by the Cara Dillon Live at Grand Opera House recording. Membership looks to be pretty reasonable. Anyone use it ? James
