I have greatly enjoyed my CD5x/XS/FC2x/NACA5/TotemArro system for the past few years.   I am about to take the plunge into streaming audio.   I am currently playing with an iTunes/AppleTV/DacMagic setup.  Pleasant, but not satisfying...

Hi, since I'm not fully convinced of the NDX, I'm considering to buy a HDX now. But I'm wondering if Naim is planning to supply HDX with a full SSD (say 400 to 500 MB) in not too distant future. It's mechanically much more suitable for music...

When replaying from my NAS (Buffalo Link Station PRO in raid1 mode), it plays for maybe 10 minutes (3-4 songs maybe even 10 ) and then goes offline (When using the Naim WEB browser IF, "Manage music stores" the NAS storage location is turned into red,...

Hello all, Long time reader. First time poster. Joined the Naim world a few months ago with a Supernait. Then added a Hicap 2.Just collected a UnitiServe from my friendly local dealer. Looking to add an NDX and UnitiQute in the...

Any the NDX and CDX2.2 inside photo can compare? 

Hi. I am wondering if there are other possibilities than the little screen of the NDX and the n-stream software to operate the NDX? I have no apple products and am not very happy to have buy an ipod or ipad just for this application. I thought that...

While I am planning to upgrade my streaming audio this year, I am currently working in an iTunes environment.   Are Apple Lossless files the best way to go? I've been reading the past few months of posts on this forum.  I must admit I find...

Is it possible to access Spotify on the qute?

Hi All esp. from Naim R&D I'm looking into this IPV6 change-over and I'm also considering gradually changing my LAN and all the node and host devices on it, to provide at least dual IPv4/IPv6 support and ideally sometime change to IPv6-only network traffic. I know there are all kinds of tunnel mechanisms to avoid any change overs on small LANs, but I'm just curious if I could do it internally on my LAN as well (and not just on the outside edge). All my computers support at least...

I'm about to pick up a Naim DAC and would like to know what would be the best sounding connection from a macbook. I've heard people say optical. I assume it would benefit from USB to SPDIF converter? Just wondering how sensitive the Naim is to jitter....

Hi, Having owned the HDX for about two years (and made the latest upgrades) and the DAC for about a year,I was wondering whether there wold be any point in getting the NDX as I already store most music files on a NAS server (ripped from the...

I seem to having problems with communication between my computer running Naim Desktop Client and my HDX. I keep getting the following dialog box message : Unable to retrieve system status. The server did not respond time, or is unavailable. This...

Hi everybody, I have the NDX for demo at home and have two usage problems with it: 1) I can't fast-forward or rewind flac or mp3 files via remote control. 2) I can't pause or fast-forward/rewind podcasts via remote control. I use Twonky Server 6.0.32....

Given access to NAS music collection through the Network Share on NDX -- can I browse the native folder structure and start playing the tracks by point&click? If yes -- what software can do this?

I was going to get a D-link NAS from E-Buyer(OOS). My question can it be run with 1 HD to start with? I assume 2 drives are required for RAID setup?  I am primarily looking to move my iTunes in AIFF off the iMac.  Obviously a moot...

Several discussions here pointed some RFE / bugs in UQ, so any plans when we could expect new fw version and what will be included into it? TIA, Ilko 

Here are some screenshots

When I returned from my travels, my NDX had already arrived. After unpacking it was within minutes, that it was installed and connected to its CAT cable, and detected all files in my HDX, UnitiServe, and my computer and was ready to play. It is slowly...

Hi I would like to build up my digital music library using a dedicated storage. Now, I am undecided whether to use a MacMini or a RipNas. I also own a Sonos ZP90 and DC1, so my current plan is that it will serve...

Hi Folks I've tried to stream to my Qute from iTunes files on my NetGear NAS.  They're Apple Lossless format.  The Qute recognised the 'structure' - artists, albums and tracks - but won't play the file - it says format not...

Having just ripped c1200 cd's to my NAS drive via my Serve would it be possible to get my i tunes to see read/import them from the NAS to my IMac - A tad lazy but it feels a bit of a chore to rip them all to my Imac.... Any help would be...

I have seen some Sony device with homeshare ability. What is it? Is it like the backbone of AirPlay? Is it like iTunes as upnp server controllable from remote app? Sounds interesting...

I have a ReadyNas Duo with a Naim Uniti. At first the UPNP discovery would not pick anything up. I gave the Uniti a static IP address and that fixed it. However, over the weekend I had to power the Uniti off and upon restarted no matter what I do it...

I have a mac mini connected to a hard drive, running headlessly through a toslink to a nDAC/200/202/HC/NAPSC but I am not delirious with the SQ. All music is apple lossless, however if I convert a track to WAV and play it via a memory stick directly...
