Hi, Just comparing the unitiserve (without the hard drive) and the ND5 XS streamer. Its got me thinking as the unitiserve will rip all my CD's to my NAS in 16 & 24bit format with no problem and then I'm guessing will play them back using my Rega DAC in to the Nait XS. What benefits would the ND5 have over the unitiserve as my house has wired cat6 in every room I already have a 4tb NAS and have bottomed out the fact that Spotify isn't readily available to stream over...

I am having a problem with Sony RCA Red Seal CD 88697 056925 Verdis Requiem . The CD contains 15 tracks, but although when monitoring the rip it identifies and rips all 15, only the first 14 are displayed. If I switch the CD player to 'play' mode...

Hello all, As the title suggests, I'm currently looking for a Unicode-capable mp3 encoding tool which works in linux/unix. I'm currently using lame; it doesn't support writing tags in Unicode format though, which is very unfortunate when ripping...

Hi All, 10 years ago I built up a great Naim system comprising of a couple of nap90's, a 92 preamp, cd3 and power supply. Unfortunately I had to sell the lot to by a house :-( After many years of no hifi I managed to get hold of a used Audiolab...

My NDX has stopped working and is showing Fault 28. Can this be fixed by the user? Can the NDX be factory reset with a button being pressed at the same time as using the off / on switch? RegardsHuw

I'm just curious to know if there may be anything further in the pipeline in the way of updates for the Naim servers, HDX, US etc. I'm wondering if there would be any possibility of a tick box selection against each track/album so it could be...

Hello, I'm currently saving up for a naim streamer, either the nd5 xs or NDX, and gathering either will be a leap up in performance over my current sonos zp90 and rega DAC. My only concern is using Spotify as I use this in general more than...

I have beem under the impression that the HDX updates it's internal DB of Metadata durring the middle of the night. A multi-part question series if I may please, as it related to this; a) While this may seem like a stupid question, does the HDX have...

I tried some older DACs these days, and found out some are not syncing with hires material (24/96) from NDX dig-out. Any explanation to which technical parameters of the DAC it depends on?

Ok, so for the last few years i have been out of the Naim loop and not followed their products vis a vis hard disk streaming etc.  I have the abovementioned system and would like to know my options. So i was thinking that i should get a Qnap...

I have been using the Logitech Media Server as uPnP server for my NDX as well as the server for 3 Sueezebox players I have around the house. I actually installed the beta release and it all worked fine. I could play all music files on both NDX and...

I am using a VortexBox to stream to my ND5-XS and have a problem with albums from different artists with the same title. For example, my ND5 shows only one entry for "Up" (the Peter Gabriel album) but when I select this the songs from the R.E.M....
