Hi Fellow Naimees,I own a NaimUniti and enjoy internet radio very much! However, I cannot seem to receive uninterrupted iRadio stations of more than 128 kbps! AVRO Light Classical, for example, streams at 256 kbps but the Uniti will buffer every few...

Hi,since yesterday I have a HDX at home demo connected to my 252/300. When I switch on the HDX, the 300PS starts immediately to hum. The hum is alternating periodically, purely mechanical and sometimes so loud that the 300PS rattles. SC remains...

I'm completely new to the world of digital music streaming and such. Would the sound quality from the RipNAS & UniQute rival a CD5X/Fc2X combo? Anything special that should be taken into consideration or would a simple PC into the Qute suffice?

Hi all,Just wondering if we have any members here that have a Sonos (ZP90) and Naim DAC setup? Very interested in hearing their thoughts on how it sounds, shortcomings if any and where they think it sits in the sound quality tree against Naim CD...

Chord who make the splendid budget DAC with BT interface has released a PC as part of its new range - is there something special about this that would make it a good partner for a Naim DAC (if I could get over my stance on Windoze). It just looks like...

Probably been done but if you could spare me a couple of seconds for an opinion then i'd be greatful?Any preferences? No No's? Sound Quality Issues?It's not for a Multi-room / zone type of setup just a reasonably priced source for the DAC.
