Streaming Audio

My NDX has the original 24-bit/96 kHz capability but when I stream iRadio and UPnP (FLAC or WAV files ripped from CDs using dbpoweramp) into my Accuphase DAC (DAC-30 with 192 kHZ capable) the signal seems 'lost' every time I switch from FM radio to...

The baseline is in the title. So, as a happy owner of a Naim kit (NAC122/NAP150) I'm struggling to buy or not to buy Unitiqute, primarily because of reported issues regarding unexpected non-responsivness, while listening to iRadio. I would fed my DAC...

Am currently running a 4-year old Buffalo NAS drive.   Everything is backed up on external USB drives, but I still feel like I am living on borrowed time, and need to make a decision on a new NAS pretty soon. It appears I have waited...

Dear Naim users,Note that I am enthusiastic about the Unitiqute in combination with my music library in .wav. I am now trying to find a way to get some songs from youtube via my macbook to my Unitiqute. Do you have any suggestions what the best way is...

The NDX + nDAC + 555PS was very good when I auditioned them recently in my system. The only problem was the 2 extra box count and the mullah! The cost is staggering indeed! Looking for a cheaper alternative, I tried the Berkeley Alpha DAC. The...

I have the nDAC, with the original firmware but haven't installed the firmware update. Source is Unitiserve. My understanding is that the main purpose of the update was to allow the DAC to playback FLAC files. The Unitiserve can do this anyhow. I...

in an US>NDX setup, does anyone know how i can control via n-serve app, which just seems so much better. Must require a specific setting for NDX, but dont which one... thx lars

Hi folks I'm very lucky today as our IT support company has loaned be a brand new MacBook Air for a couple of weeks to trial. Nice! Whilst playing at home tonight I managed to connect to my US, select music files and copy them to my...

I would be grateful for advice regarding the most simple way of listening to FLAC downloads -ie hardware to use-am I right in thinking I could use a laptop to store all the downloads plug it into a Naim DAC and plug it into my 200/202 & get SQ...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if and how i can connect the 2 with a fibre cable? Thank and regards Salvo

Anyone tried to hook up an audio-gd DAC/mac with Naim amp? I'm trying to compare this with the CD5i-2 and see how it performs compare to cd5i-2? seems it's a cheaper option than with cdp.

Hi, My system consists of CD5xsSuperNaitHiCapFlatCap2 Should I use the digital or analogue output from CD5xs? I wish to add a streamer or hard disc player but I'm completely confused! Should I sell the CD5xs and buy a...

After all the brouhaha surrounding the now rather anticlimactic recent nStream release I spent some time to peruse Linn's Open Source software website. It struck me that if they are true to their word they have probably got it exactly right. There...

Hi I can buy a demo model of the Naim DAC at two thirds of the normal price. I was saving for the ND5XS with FM/DAB module but this made me doubt. I have the NAP/NAC 155/152XS, the CD5i and JMR bliss speakers, quite a nice and musical...

Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and Naim! I just received my ND5 XS and am now awaiting the Headline which I plan to use with it. This should arrive in a few days, and the anticipation is killing me!! Still its giving me the chance to get the ‘backroom’ stuff sorted – CD rips, tagging, network issues etc. I seem to be going round in circles at the moment, and wonder if I could get some help and advice. Over the past year I have been using a laptop setup as a Vortexbox. This was connected...

Hello! Does anyone know if a Sonos Connect / Zp90 sounds better than an Airport express? Seems a fairly cheap upgrade. It's for streaming from Spotify premium and iTunes into a Supernait.  Thanks.

I've just received the update disk, but there are no instructions for the Unitiserve, only the HDX. Has anyone out there installed it on the Unitiserve and if so, how? Keith

Sorry if this has been covered before but I didn't find anything when searching the site. Anyways... I have almost decided upon keeping the ND5 XS I have over the weekend, of course my parents came for a surprise visit so I have not been able to...

I thought I'd throw this one out to the forum... I was having a nice cup of cha with my dealer yesterday and amongst other things the conversation came around to the NDX / ND5 XS. Although he had at that time no ND5 on show as the ones he had had...

Hello all!  Can I stream directly to the Superuniti from iTunes or Airfoil/Spotify? I'm currently using a Supernait, Hicap and Harbeth M30 (well the Harbeth's are on their way after a home demo) and I stream my music wirelessly (Spotify...

Some, not all, FLACs stops at exactly 19 seconds on my ND5 XS?!?! Restarting the FLAC just stops again at 19 seconds. I am running latest Majestic uPNP server on my Mac Mini Server and it doesn't matter if I use wifi or ethernet on the...

what would i need to buy to play vinyl through my Uniti

I dont think this has been asked. But does anyone have views on how these options would compare. I didn't realise till today that you could use a vortexbox to act as a streamer with mpd software. Any help greatly appreciated.

Is random on Uniti (qute) the same as shuffle on IPOD? (restating the title for those using the forum app) I made a playlist called "party" in mediamonkey and exported it as as m3u file to the NAS and it shows up no problem on the n-stream under...

Anyone else had the problem which is  ive just upgraded to V1.6 on my HDX, now the Network shares are all offline and a red dot  on the front panel of the HDX which according to the manuals indicates a username and password issue....
