Streaming Audio

If I wanted as digital player to be controlled via iPad is the Unitiserve a good player or is the ND5 so far in advance that I should keep my current NAS and unPnP server and sepnd money on the ND5 - or is the Unitiserve 90% as good so get server and...

I'm thinking to build an unattended/headless ripping/streaming box.  I think to use a windows pc with asset upnp server, and Itunes to rip in ALAC format (I need it to syncronize my Ipod). I just need something to automatically tag my files. I've...

More than 6 weeks after the announcement of the 24bit/192kHz update, my dealer (in Paris, France) cannot get any info from the french distributor (when will it be available ? who will be doing it ? what is the cost ?). Is this a general...

I'm looking for some advise on the best way to steam Pandora.to my Unti -Mini plug? -Roku Player or Apple TV player (using Optical) Is there even much of a difference since Pandora cant stream the upgraded 192kbps to anything but a ...

I have bought a SuperUniti and  I'm currently streaming from a MacBook running iTunes.I am considering buying a NAS due to a big cd collection and who will fill too much on my computer but I am new in this area and I am seeking for advices...

Has anyone tried running a Mac mini as digital out into a nDac? Just wondering if that'll b an. Prove kent over a squeezebox touch.

Hi, Apologies but I guess this could be boring topic for many. Became an exile earlier this year when moved out to Rio for a couple of years. First priority when I decided to go was my music and a half decent hifi. I bought a uniti and...

Would appreciate any recommendations for a new NAS server to compliment my HDX.Im looking to see if I can sync my itunes folders sitting on my main Windows 7 PC  automatically so that the HDX can see any new songs added automatically....

Hello, I would like to know how can I change the album art on the HDX internal database? I have many music files stored on USB flash storage inserted in the device but most times the album cover doesn't show. I tried with coping album art in the...

How does UQ/Uniti with NAP200 compare to SuperUniti and ND5XS+NaitXS? Even if the streaming part is better in SU and ND5XS, you have the advantage in having a sparate NAP200 ..

Hi, want to get one of them but still awaiting for more reviews. Thanks

Does the USB slot in the ND5 support the higher speed data transfer from USB 3.0 flash cards for 24/192 files? Or are fast USB 2.0 cards the best it can handle? And does anyone have recommendations on the best USB sticks to use?

Folks - have read and re-read the forums on streaming, and in particular on Airplay, and I have a nasty feeling that my excitement about impending(?) Airplay compatibility may be misplaced. I'm currently streaming Apple Lossless from a Mac Mini running iTunes > ethernet > aTV2 > SN > Keilidhs. Wow - a GIANT step up from my previous Classik Movie, but a change that has left me wanting 'more of the same please'. Also, I love the ease of use of the Remote app which, after a recent...

Has anybody heard of or even tried one of these?What it will do is let you connect a USB Hard Disk to your Naim DAC.    It renders the music on the HD Disk from 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 KHz AIFF/FLAC and will send the PCM...

I'm ripping many CD's on my UnitiServe and after a few (4 or 5?) it gets backed up -- won't allow me to rip any more CD's until it's finished processing the previous ones.  Is this normal?  It's slowing down an already slow process.

Just wondering. Is there any value in using a gigabit switch rather than a 10/100 fast ethernet switch when connecting the streamer to the NAS?

Ok, when changing from standard flacs to hi def flacs (or other way around) always makes my ND5 XS pop rather loud. Is this normal?

Only had my Qute a few days and have been ripping madly to a ReadyNas Duo using XLD on my MacBook pro. All is working well except the display on both the Qute and n-stream shows the track name twice - I'm guessing it should show the album title as...

I thought I would post this in case anyone with Apple kit is considering a similar setup and wants to know if it will work. Our system is built around OSX Lion iMacs and an Apple Airport wifi network, hung off a BT Homehub 3 which provides the IP...

I have had my superb Uniti for nearly a year now, but I have noticed that some articles still mention only getting digital files from iPods etc via the above cable. I thought that this was no longer required as a mod was done to the Uniti. Could...

Fans of streaming generally only need a couple of inputs, having often ditched vinyl, tuner and tape devices. Is there a general enthusiasm for a 2-3 input pre-amp at 552 level? Presumably the power supply could be smaller/cheaper than the 552PS for a...

Hi naimies, I listen to a uniti qute and want to know, which nas would fit best. At the moment im thinkin about a qnap ts-119+. Does anyone has experience with that nas or would you recommand a cheaper one with same performance. Thanks a lot

My brand new Netgear Readynas Ultra2 is not working correctly and it will probably be replaced as a DOA. However, I am not thinking of going for a Qnap instead. I read somewhere that the inbuilt uPNP server in Qnap, Twonky?, is not supporting...

I will be auditioning a BDA-1 at home this weekend.  Wish I had a Naim DAC in my hands to do a direct comparison! For those who have listed to both, what are your impressions?   Is Naim DAC worth the extra moolah?  BTW, I have...

Is it possible to play the rolling stones 24 bit 176 kHz files from hd tracks on the latest spec ndx? Thanks Jon
