Streaming Audio

Hello all, and thanks for reading this.I plan to buy a Naim Uniti over the next couple of years (the arrival of a second child in a couple of months will dent my wallet a little too much this year).As I'll be the stay-at-home parent, I plan to use the...

Before I had my Uniti upgraded (for the Unicode compatibility feature), I had absolutely no problem streaming music from my PC, even though I was using Windows Media Player and the standard Virgin Media router (Netgear DG834G v5).Since the upgrade, I...

Hi,I am trying to configure Hiface to work with Mediamonkey via Kernel Streaming: I have downloaded the plugin and MM sees it in its Output Plugins, but no output device is available for configuration.I know that I have installed the Hiface drivers...

I use my iMac as a tertiary source TT and CD are my primes. It is simply connected to the pre with a copper cable from MACs headphone socket, and is ALL I need ATM.So to the question itunes is taking more and more space on the MACs hard drive, I do a...

The disk on which a CD sits when it is being played by my Uniti has come away with the magnetic puck. Looking at this disk there is no particular obvious means of attachment to the motor assembly, so I am wondering how to prevent this happening again....

I've just loaded about 100 high resolution files onto my NAS (trying the Iomega Home Media Network Hard drive) under the folder "Music." The HDX scanned the network shares & found the folder & albums. I've only had time to play a couple of files,...

Hi,My wife came in to a Macbook Pro and I've loaded about 30 albums in to itunes in lossless. I've also put my Spotify account on it.At the moment I'm running it in to the front of my SuperNait using the headphones out. It sounds OK but not really...

Although being very happy with my current British not Naim setup I had a home demo for a Naimuniti today. Very impressed with the quality and the functionality except for one thing. I have most of my CD's ripped in Apple Losless in iTunes on a Mac Pro...

I just tried My new DAC with a HD wave file and at the end of the song there was at strange noise like very sharp hum. Anyone heard about that before? Is there something I should know?THanks!Vince

I must be getting old. I understand stereo, I have built a nice surround system (AV2) and I can even set at Linn LP12 up properly. BUT I am totally confussed when it comes to multy room stystems DACs etc. HELP, where do I start. Does anyone out there...

When ripping cd's to iTunes on my Mac sometimes they rip very quietly at about 5x speed and take a few minutes to rip, then some cd's go crazy, ripping at 20x plus with the drive seemingly working overtime!All cd's are ripped to AIFF with error...

I think this little gem will be ordered the same time I order my nDAC...Halide "The Bridge".

This may not be the best place for this question, but many here might know. Naim is so gracious for allowing these discussions in their forums. Ill keep it short.Is there a possible advantage to not using stock USB on a PC and using a nice USB PCI...

Hello, I have just recently purchased a Naim HDX. I am totally happy with it, ripped many CD's and connected my USB hard drive. The only thing I can't do yet, is creating a music folder (flac) on my Mac OSX 4.11 that I share with my HDX. How do I...

Looks like the Germans have done a bit of polishing on the Sonos...Like Sonos, they do complete systems (Active speakers by Adam) but it will be interesting how it goes with the nDAC....I think it supports HiRes too, unlike Sonos....

Hi,I'd like to get an M2Tech Hiface USB/SPDIF and a good cable for under £100 to connect a laptop to my Naim SuperNait (possibly Naim DAC later).I did a search on Google but there did not seem to be many suppliers. Is the Hiface normally sold in...

As I am trying to find a storage solution, I would like to know your thoughts about the following setup possibility:Netbook computerExternal driveHiface USBAll this connected to the NDAC.Anyone has ever tried this?Thanks!Vince

Reading on the web site about the new UnitiServe, I understand it will be able to rip, store and stream music. And there will be two versions: one version with internal hard drive, one version without.I am personally interested in this product, but I...

I hope I am not being inappropriate here.Just found out dCS has come out with its "budget" DAC with everything but the kitchen sink built in. And, most importantly with dCS' implementation of Async USB. The price is about $10K US - Which is not a...

Will there ever be something like the Squeezebox Touch from NAIM???Practically a HDX without the CDP and the Harddisks...where you have a display and different connections (ethernet, USB....) and then feed it into a (THE) DAC???

OK, well I may as well kick this off...!Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS Naim on the 2 new products! From description, they appear fantastic in many ways, and I have a feeling the 'Serve is going to be a real hit.....So, with the SSD aspect and now ALAC...

Jitter - What does it sound like?I have read about "bit-perfect" and I have read about "digital jitter" but no one - not one - has yet described what the effect is on the music?In all this the only consideration is whether the music is reduced in its...

Currently, for my portable computer based system, I'm using a Macbook Pro with Pure Music or Amarra to play back hi-res files. I've got all of these files backed up on a Lacie Little Big Quadra 1TB drive. If I copy them to another drive (same type),...

Not wanting to hijack another thread... How efficient is the use of a XPS vs. a 555PS when powering the nDAC ? i.e. are there parts of the PSUs that are not used ? Many ThanksStefano
