Streaming Audio

I believe that we are a few years on now since this subject was discussed in an earlier thread in this Forum ... And now, the Naim HDX and the Naim DAC are both with us (along with all the potential that they offer). One of my US-based...

Sounds crazy, I know.  I have an Audi Q5 that has an internal hard drive that will *only* accept MP3.  I can't download CDs or anything I have recorded on my 64 mb ipod because the "jukebox" feature only will record mp3 format.  The...

Just read my instruction manual after 18 months of owning my HDX. I read that if you shutdown using the remote or via the front panel then you must switch off then back on on the back panel. I have never done this! Has any damage been done? What...

Hi,When I use the DTC and on the tools tab under settings and function, there appears a UPNP tab,  With supplied information from the NS01 that seem to imply that it can act as a UPNP av server. Is this correct? And is there a way...

 Hi, In my collection of albums ripped to my ns01 I have 19 albums placed in the unassigned category, obviously because there is no information about the album, so everything title, and tracknames are unknown. But there are also a...

Dear Friend, I tired AIFF file on DAC via memory stick, but it just doesn't work.... +___+so what kind of files supported in DAC by memory stick?and does every kind of memory stick sound the same in DAC?? Thanks

Hello, did somebody compare both DACs side by side in a Naim system? Or any experience with the Young DAC in a Naim system? I have a Naim DAC but I would simply prefer a DAC that can be connected via asyncronous USB to a PC/Mac and I do not want...

Hi everyone, When using a USB drive I have been unsuccessful in listening to music. What format does it have to be? Any tips to troubleshoot?

 My HDX is located in my sitting room; a large USB drive is directly attached to the HDX, storing a set of 96/24 FLAC files. My office laptop (linked by wi-fi to the home router) can access (via UPnP on Win XP) and play files stored natively...

I've been using Asset upnp for the last few days and have to say it works very well with the NDX - particularly with my DBpoweramp WAV rips, which is to be expected I guess and the reason I decided to use Asset in the first place. It has also...

OK guys (I take it 98% here are...) I need your help here. Appologies upfront as I am sure this has been covered and discussed to death but reading through old topics I get completely lost. I'm on the verge of jumping into streaming audio...

Dears, I am very new here and using naim only 2 months. I bought DAC last week, but still cannot find a way to connect to my macbook by upnp.is it possible or there is a need to buy something more to connect both of them?? Thanks

Sorry this question may be non-Naim-specific, but . . . I have a collection of Mac's, new and old.  Support is sun-setting for my G5 PowerMac Dual 1.8.  It is maxed out running OS X Leopard 10.5.x (latest) and has the distinction of housing...

Hi all, Thought I would share this experience in case it helps anyone. I have a ReadyNAS Duo and originally stocked it with 2 x 2TB Western Digital Green drives. The performance was OK. A week ago one of the drives started giving me...

Hello all,  Any ideas for a simple low cost streamer that can deal with a UPNP server. Thinking in the 100s of dollars, so the discontinued Roku Soundbridge, Netgear MP101, Play station etc. Needs to have a dig out, pref sp/dif. This...

Greetings all,MacBook Pro (optical out)/DacMagic/XS, or iTunes/ATV(2)/DacMagic/XS? (1) Is one of these options superior? (2) Based on my google research, optical out is the best way to get digital audio straight out of my MBP....

This is probably a silly question, but does anyone know if there are any issues with downloading hi res flac files to a PC over a wireless network? I know it's slower and I don't intend to play them wirelessly, but is thereany possibility downloaded...

Can somebody suggest me a good command-line tagging program for windows?I tried  mp3tag and it's a good program but I'm looking for something that works in command line.Any suggestion will be appreciatedThanks in advanceMB

For the sake of simplicity and economics I'd love to go for one large NAS to accommodate my photo, video and audio library. Can I stream for example hi-res audio to nDAC while my son is streaming HD video to his PC in the other room and...

This is in no way a Naim bashing tread as those who know me know I'm a Naimophile and very happy with the big stack of boxes connected to my SL2s. I am less enamoured with the functionality of the one black box that makes my n-Sats sing. I...

I have just set up a new VortexBox appliance for use with my Qute, and most everything is working well.  I just had to designate the location of my music files on the VB as "/storage/music/flac" in the DLNA configuration panel. However, I...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has tried setting up multiple systems to access the same library on a NAS? In particular I was thinking of a Naim Streamer in my lounge using uPnP, Sonos in the bedroom and kitchen and my PCs in the...

Downloaded to NAS from LINN-store. Why can't N-server or NAIM desktop client show artwork, ??? Tried to drop a .jpg file directly into the Shared folder but still no artwork is shown. It's working fine when downloading from NAIM store

Are there any tester who have managed to get the ISO disc image for SW Version 1.6 from the download link provided from Naim? I tried the download under MAC and under Windows in in both cases I found no iso file. Recommendations to solve...

Hi, I would like 2 folders on my Western Digital NAS so one can be for albums and one for singles. This will stop my main music being full of singles which i listen to less. I have tried creating a second folder next to the original but my unitiqute...
