Streaming Audio

From "CES 2012: Cable Company Notes from the Consumer Electronics Show""...However back on the subject of USB and USB Dacs there is a growing recognition that the "best way" to deal with the USB output from a computer is to convert it to SPDIF, and...

Very surprised to learn, as an Apple user, that I am unable to install the new update? Is there a plan to issue instructions for Mac users? Lack of thought and consideration like this can damage perceptions of the Naim brand. If there IS a plan to...

As I understand it, one of the main reasons for the shift to streaming is that we can obtain equal or better than CD recordings via download.  Also, some music may just not be available at the corner music store.I am battling to find sources of...

I am considering Uniti for some time but I am bit confused regarding how it can be controlled. I understand that there is an iphone application ‘nstream’ which should give me the best option to control the Uniti without need to use the remote controller. Unfortunately I do not have iphone or any other apple products. But I have an Android phone. I read on this forum that I can use several upnp ‘control points’ to control Uniti. And here is my question to these who use such option. Will such...

Had loan of NDX for a week and played alot of music. However, for me the CDS3 still had more musicality and less digital glare. It has gone back now and I will wait for an NDS or ND555, if it happens, unless there is advice on squeezing some more...

Hi, had anyone ever being using the n-Stream app version 2.2 (on Ipod with ios 5.01) to connect a Unitiserve-SSD (system version 1.6b)? Both devices are in the same network. I already tried to configure the IP address of the Unitiserve in the n-Stream app but it can't find the server anyway. I've noticed an abnormal behavior: sometimes when I click on 'Setup' when the n-Stream prompts 'Streamer not responding' the app just shut down. It's not systematic. Of course I've tried to uninstall and...

Has anyone does this comparison? I'm currently running my sbtouch into a rega dac. For my next upgrade, just wondering which route to go. It's time to sort out my digital front end.

My Sunday-remote wants more than just vinyl action! :) Is there any hope for re-programming NDX (or others) to accept R-Com commands?

Am I missing something, or is it designed for the iPhone and simply doubles in size (in poor resolution) for the iPad? John.

I bought a Unitiqute with a netgear NAS recomended by Naim (readyNAS Duo).  I copied all my cds from my Userve but the Qute does not recognize the Netgear NAS.  Can someone help me?  The Qute will be in another place and won't have...

Bought a Powerline at Christmas. As a relative newcomer to the Naim world, I must admit to being highly sceptical at spending so much for a big kettle lead. I have also read all of the debates both on here and PFM about cables of all sorts. ...

Enjoying a Sunday morning listening to Radio Paradise and KCRW. System is NDX, Supernait, Hicap 2, UnitiServe into Audiovector Si3 Avantgarde Arrete.Cables are Chord Anthem between NDX and Supernait. Speaker cable is Chord Odyssey.All sat nicely...

I used to own a full active Keltik system (which at the time cost an absolute fortune), but if I was totally honest, it didn't really offer much more than the Keilidh's that it replaced. I later changed it to ATC SCM50ASL active speakers and SCA2 preamp and found that the ATC system was superior in every respect - but retained my Linn Ikemi CD player Since Linn no longer support their CD players, I have decided that it is time to invest in a digital streamer and NAS etc I recently compared...

Hi Has anyone tested the above and can confirm if the Unitiserve is a good upgrade for a macMini I'm currently using. If be using with an M2Tech Young with upgraded power supply. Am I better off saving for an NDX? I don't mind re ripping......

Hi Mates, I wonder if these players could recognise HDD via their ethernet (LAN) and/or USB ports.Could they playback music files connected a HDD locally by these input ports ?In general, what is the best HDD music player in your experience to...

I think age is catching up with me or my ears are pulling my legs. I have auditioned the Uniti SSD/Naim DAC and the HDX/Naim DAC. All via digital out from the Uniti SSD and HDX to the Naim DAC. Flac and Wav files were ripped from dbPowerAmp. The flac files are stored on a external NAS connected to the Uniti /HDX via Cat5 cables. To my understanding the Uniti and HDX are just presenting the same flac files via digital domain to the Naim DAC for D/A conversion, but why it is that the HDX/Naim...

Software Version 3.13 for Naim's streaming products is now available for customers to download from the Naim website. This new software update enables some performance enhancements for the NDX, NaimUniti and UnitiQute and an alarm clock feature for the NaimUniti and UnitiQute only. The software release follows the launch of the ND5 XS and SuperUniti in the summer. While the update brings the software of the NDX, NaimUniti and UnitiQute into line with the ND5 XS and SuperUniti, please note...

HI All, I am new to streaming and new Naim.I recently purchased a Naim SuperUniti and WD My Book Live Nas.  For the last few days of setting up I have had nothing but issues with the NAS concerning album artowrk and track listings... I...

I moved my Uniti to a different room and it's on the network just fine BUT the nStream app no longer works (on either my iPad or iPhone).  I updated to the 2.2 but still no joy.  I tried re-entering the IP add (from the Uniti's profile) but...

I have just been playing around with iTunes Match, and playing it out via my AppleTV2   into my nDAC. I have to say - I am very impressed, and I love its simple interface via AppleTV. The sound quality for the music I have purchased on...

No matter what I do with cables or settings, I cannot get the MacBook pro to sound as good as using either a CD5xs or Oppo 83 as transports. They are just musically better. The Mac is close, but you can always recognize it as not as good. I'm using...

I know it is a stupid question but I would like it to be answered: Could I connect NDX to NAS "directly" by ethernet cable (without PC andinternet access) ?Will NDX playback the music files (FLAC)  tose are on NAS driver in this...

My Naim server (HDX) is in my music room. Occasionally, I would like to listen to music from this CD collection when I am working on my computer in my office room. I just want to use the local sound of the PC, without any additional devices. I tried...

Good Afternoon I want the family to be able to use the ipad to play their music and we need to create playlists. Music in on a NAS drive, streamer is NDX5S. It's dead easy with Linn, can anyone help me here? Thanks Simply

Simple question.  I note various posts talkinig about how Naim rips store the metadata/cover art.  My (possibly incorrect) impression is that Naim does it in a different way from e.g dBPoweramp. Does that mean that if you rip a CD using...
