Streaming Audio

Hi all, I've been reading threads on here with great interest. I'm both a Mac & PC user and am just about to start building my library again from scratch. The question is what is the best format to use? I'm happy to have 2 libraries (one for my iPod, the other for my Hi-Fi) as I think 320 MP3 files are fine for my iPod but I know lossless is better for home listening. I see the HDX uses WAV files but many on here prefer FLAC, AIFF or ALAC files for streaming. If Naim use WAV then I would...

Hi,I've been having problems with intermittent connection drop-outs to my UPnP server.I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with Foobar V1.0 (+UPnP component v0.99.19.1). I'm connected by wire, and the network connection is ok because internet radio seems...

Hello everyone!Hopefully somebody can help me with a problem I recently have with my Naimuniti (I'm otherwise absolutely pleased with)!Streaming webradio (any station) the uniti seems to loose connection in unregular intervals. The dropouts last from...

Hi allJust set up a HiFace from my Dell laptop with a DC1 lead into my Uniti. I've played FLAC tracks (ripped with dbPoweramp) via Foobar2000 and music from Spotify. I think it sounds fantastic for the money, except.....I am getting annoying 'clicks'...

Unbelievable!I could not be happier with the DAC and how it has transformed my system; I damn near danced a hole in my floor this thing is GOOOOOOOOD! I just got it so it will be interesting to see how its sound develops over the next few months.I was...

Just curious: what are you guys using in terms of headphones for the Uniti?In view of keeping it simple, I would not rather use a separate headphone amp; so is there such a thing as an Optimal universal headset for the Uniti and what is it?Currently...

All,I am about to send my Apple TV away for some surgery and just wanted to get a view from folks here. There are a few different ways you can modify Apple TV for more storage1) Software hack to enable USB (messy and needs to be redone every time...

Has anyone managed to get this to work with the Uniti?

I quote:"Important: Files should never be added to or deleted from Music Stores via an alternative computer operating system.Note: This is because Music Stores contain not only the ripped CD data files but also the associated database and meta-data...

Somewhere on the forum I found a very useful link to a 14page PDF on troubleshooting the Uniti. I have looked all over but cannot relocate it. Can anyone provide a link to this very useful document please.

Hi all - two posts in 24hrs; this is feeling like home.I have an issue. My Naim DAC has introduced latency into my system. The challenge is that I have an open plan lounge, diner and kitchen which has two zones because of the space (a nice problem to...

Hi there,My existing kit is a CDX2/202/200/PSC2.Im thinking of ditching the CDX2 and going DAC/streaming route. I'll most likely be keeping the 202/200.Thing is I have no idea of what it involves. I'm pretty technically minded in terms of IT but have...

Now I have finished the first bunch of tests over Naim DAC. The setup was Logitech Transporter/DigitalCable/DAC/XPS/282/2*HC/250.2/ProAc D28.Digital Cable was Klotz RAC coaxial and VDH Optocoupler optical.Klotz was a tad better than optical. Better...

My current iTunes library lives on a NAS, controlled by iTunes on a MacBookPro.I have upgraded to a Mac Mini and want to run this headless instead of my Apple TV into my SuperNait, allowing me to get rid of the noisy NAS.I want to transfer my library...

This might interest some of you...Autechre's new album 'Oversteps' is also being released as a 24 bit download from Bleep.comHere's hoping more future releases from Warp/Bleep are coming in high quality!

Good evening, just a quick question. When the HDX is full will it rip CD's onto a seperate NAS drive or would you have to rip the CD onto the NAS using you PC etc?

I've got a music store set up on my new NAS, and I can happily rip CDs to the NAS, and also move music from one store to another.However, I've got quite a lot of downloaded FLACs, which obviously reside elsewhere on the network. The HDX sees and plays...

Does a Naim DAC with Squeezebox Duet match or better a CDX2?

Hi I thought it might be usefull to share some results from the Naim NAS test tool:I have a home built NAS running Ubuntu Server. quote:Specifications:OS: Ubuntu Server 9.10 64-bitKernel: 2.6.31-19-serverMotherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-DS2H (F1...

Hiya,I am just planning the wiring etc for our new house, and as I have a room especially set-up for my audio ( Naim)/ visual and computer equipment I had assumed I would be able to get audio to my speakers (@ 12-15 m away) fairly easily (I do not...

HiMy old (12 years) CD3.5 has never been serviced, although it plays quite fine, occasionally tracks might skip but overall its been quite a loyal friend to me.I was looking at the new price of a CD5XS (£1700)to partner my Naim Nait XS which...

I just sold my Lavry DAC and am now looking for a high quality CD player. Am I mad in the context of the current trends?I used a Lavry with a Sonos and a iPhone but I just didn't get as much enjoyment out of it as I do with a CD player. It is strange...

Hey out there!I am just ripping a couple of my CDs to iTunes on my MacBook for streaming. Now I came to Heather Nova's 'South', and both my MacBook and iMac do not accept it. The drives endlessly try to read it, without success, and only pressing the...

Hi there,can I connect a Win + ASIO to the Naim DAC via USB?Thx Ralf
