I have been a big fan of the Devilsound DAC 2.0 cable, and have been on their email list for a couple of years. I thought their new product to allow USB steaming to S/PDIF would be of particular interest to this group, since the Naim DAC won't stream...

I put in a CD to rip and the drive just disappeared from the Disc Utility. The disc is stuck in there. Re-booting did nothing.Any ideas? A trip to the store?

I have a small number of DVD-Audio disks that I'd like to rip to 24/192. What is the best tool to handle this? Is there anything with the error correction capability of EAC or dBpoweramp for DVDs?I'm currently playing with the DVD-A plugin for Foobar...

Playing around with this again now that the Naim DAC is in house.I cannot find any setting that will stream at full bitrate. No matter what I select in Foobar is 320 on the other end of things.Any ideas?-Patrick

HelloI´m looking for a alternative touchscreen remote for my HDX. The question is if I use for example a "ASUS Eee PC T101MT" (OS windows 7) with the Naim DTC installed can I use the touchscreen to navigate (play, next, pause...) the DTC?Or is...

I have been waiting before buying the HDX because it currently does not offer enough internal storage for me. Now we are a couple of years down the line, I am sure Naim could source larger capacity hard-drives that meet the other specs. required.I...

I have a small amount of room for vinyl in my living room, so most of it lives elsewhere in the house, and gets regularly rotated.Having the vinyl music more conveniently available would be great, so I decided to use my M-Audio MicroTrack to record a...

Hiface works. However, while tweaking the settings in Audiomidi, i can change the sampling frequency without a glitch, but tha data all in 2-channel 32bits?It works great with my SN, but just curious if any else manage to select 16 or 20bits?

I was under the impression that the NaimUniti has a HT bypass feature. When I tried to connect a preamplifier, unfortunately, I could not find a way to hook it up so that the external preamplifier could be controlled independently. I have read the...

Hello,Since I have installed new software on HDX I can't get the system status information. When I press the button it just runs a couple of seconds and then gets back to main screen.I need those data in order to connect it to the internet correctly....

I am a recent Uniti owner (Jan 2010) and am delighted with it. Currently using it with music stored on a Mac running Itunes and Twonky. I can play ALAC files in Itunes by using a digital cable from the Mac to a digital input on the Uniti, but I can't...

Just flicking through an old Hi-Fi Choice last night and saw the NS01 in the 'systems' feature. I take it that the NS01 is basically the same as the HDX but without the option to upgrade the PS and colour screen ?. Can it be controlled with the HDX...

I have been using MP3tag to make corrections to artist names (& other things) in files stored on a networked PC and a NAS. I changed ARCTIC MONKEYS to Arctic Monkeys & re-scanned the folder. HDX still says ARCTIC MONKEYS (doesn't see the change from caps to mixed). I changed Arctic Monkeys to Arctic.Monkeys (added full stop)& re-scan. HDX says Arctic.Monkeys (OK). I changed Arctic.Monkeys to Arctic Monkeys (removed full stop) and HDX says ARCTIC MONKEYS (CAPS again!!! How on earth does it do...

I hooked my imac upto my Dacmagic yesterday for the first time to give it a bit of a play, the dacmagic tells you what the incoming bit rate is via front LED's. I played a track on the mac which had been converted at 48kHz but when I played it back it...

It's my first post here. So far I'm using the NAIM XS+DAC+Sonos(input 1) for music and I love it. I'm also connecting the DAC to TV (Verizon Fios box, input 2) and DVD (Sony blueray, input 3) via Toslinks. However, when I play TV(input 2) or...

Hi,Can anyone give me a clue on which laptops will take an express card can and have a slimline profile. Most I've looked at have ditched express card expansion.Thanks.
