Streaming Audio

Here is a dedicated thread for arguing about how it is possible that sources sound different from one another through the Naim DAC.Maybe we can keep the incessant bickering off of perfectly good threads about just about everything else.I hope we can...

Hi all,It has been a long time since i posted on here but wanted to ask some guys that might have gone through what i am at the moment.Currently i have a Nait 2 (CB), CD3.5 / Hicap (CB) and enjoy it very much. However i borrowed an airport express and...

Interesting comments on the Bookshelf Apps (Songbook) blog today re. the next Uniti software update.Original post here."We’re also hard at work on better UPNP support. We’ve had mixed results getting manufacturer support for this. Some...

Hi PatrickFoobar is doing well for me. You're quite right in saying that you need to be meticulous about metadata!Just a couple of things that I still haven't worked out ...1. Using the DarkOne skin, how can I skip further into the track that is...

Anyone has experience on this? Very keen to know the results on sonic improvement if any.

Hello, apologies if I am being dense (again), but I've been using the hdx app on my Touch for a while, and it doesn't seem to give me access to my hdx playlists. As ever, any help more than appreciated. Thanks

I ripped about 200 CDs to .wav files recently and tried to back them up to the same USB HDD that I use on my PC. I wanted to be able to move them around between PC & Mac as well as have a back up for safety. Everything went wrong. I tried to drop the folder containing music on to the HDD but it would not let me and it just dropped them all on the desktop. I was not really paying much attention to where the folder came from and was unable to work it out - I'm used to windows actually saying...

Hi,Now that I have my nDAC up and running and my Mac, Squeezebox and Pioneer LX08 BR player (sounds pretty good too) running through it I have tried to set up the remote so that it changes the input as appropriate (on the Naim remote buttons 7, 8, 9,...

Hi,More questions.I'm trying to convert my FLAC to Apple Lossless or AIFF to move them from my PC to the Mac.I can convert but only in to a single folder. I've called it Converted Music. At the moment, anything I batch converted would end up in that...

I don’t know if I can really say anything that hasn’t been said already. Out of the box it sounds really smooth and sophisticated but it’s early days. Having spent some time reading about network requirements etc. it came as a heart...

Hi everyone. I am new to the Naim forum but have had Naim stereo equipment for over 18 years. I just upgraded my system to the Naim HDX, DAC + XPS, NAC 252 Pre-amp + Supercap, NAP 250.2 Power Amp and Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M speakers. The system...

Hi - I'm hoping someone has the expertise to help answer my question!I've ripped most of my music library to Apple Lossless format using iTunes, a few things I have in AIFF and I've tried ripping to both formats and comparing them. Any differences...

Hi,I own a Naim Uniti and 95% of the music it plays are flacs from an external harddrive. I used a small Samsung 250GB 2,5" drive but it stopped working yesterday and when it worked I regulary had problems with interruptions while music was playing so...

For the last year I have tried two Western Digital NAS: 1 TB MyBook RAID in mirror mode (500 Gb effectively) and 1 TB regular (non-RAID) MyBook -- both failed. The first HDD has failed after one year, the second one -- after 6 months. I managed to...

Perhaps someone else has done this before:On my quest for hires music I bought some 5.1 music (classical, 24bit, 48kHz). I don't own 5.1 playback equipment, so I'm currently experimenting with downmixing this to stereo.Obviously there are as many ways...

When I was recently configuring my M2Tech Hiface to work with my PC/nDAC/XPS combination, I contacted the UK importer Purite Audio for some advice. They were really helpful.They also mentioned that they have a new product on the way. It will not...

Announced at CEDIA.Hopefully the Uniti one is not too far behind.

They kept this one quiet...! Available immediately, of course...Redesigned casework, HDMI port, + + ...

I have an office system based around a Naim Uniti, and a good deal of music that has been ripped to iTunes on my iMac (and some downloaded tunes, which are of much lower quality of course). Just for fun, I experimented to see how best to get the...

Hi@all!!!Finally, I bought the Squeezebox Touch.Great sound so far!!!!Can anyone guide me through a set-up of the Ipod Touch, controlling the Squeezebox Touch with iPeng???I can access the SQ Touch with iPeng only if I have the SQ Touch connected with...

I am currently using HDX with XPS, is it a bad move sonically to replace the HDX with nDAC and Unitiserve.A few reasons for this:1. I prefer internal storage and do not have a NAS at the moment but 400G (90% full already)seems not enough in the HDX...

Despite all this fascinating talk about dither and jitter, I found a fundamental problem with distributed audio last night.While relaxing with a glass of red and listening to some toons, my neighbour decided to start mowing his lawn, with what sounds...

G'day to all.Have made a few USB sticks for the ndac and they all seem to work ok. But, if I try to put more than one album on a stick (using max to convert flac to wav) I get track 1 of album 1 followed by track 1 of album 2 etc. Has anyone else...
