I have iTunes on my Mini set to automatically rip CDs when inserted. But more often than not, iTunes fails to do this. I see what I think is the "import" screen flash briefly before disappearing again. iTunes doesn't now know there is a CD in the...

Hi all,I am in the process of buying a All-in-1 System.I heard both systems on my ProAc. Both sound fine - had no direct comparison, unfortunately. Both are around the same price.I am not sure what to buy...!?Naim has built in CD Player and tuner. The...

Howdy doody.I am using XLD for mac for ripping now as in essence I have moved away from itunes.Thing is when ripping a compilation it puts each artist in its own folder. More over albums which are sort of compilations or have acknowledgments or just...

Struggling with Uniti list mode/meta data when using UPnP... I'm accessing FLAC & WAV files on a Seagate NAS. The tracks play just fine on the Uniti, but on the Uniti display everything gets merged under "unknown" album, artist list selections. So for example, on my NAS drive I have: /Music / Pink Floyd / DSOM / 01-Speak to me / 02-Breath / ... / Tangerine Dream / Tangram / 01-Part 1 / 02-Part 2 Then on the Uniti display in list mode I'll get: >Music > Music Album > Unknown >...

I have been lucky enough to acquire a new Naim DAC from my dealer today. To put things into perspective for you I want to use it instead of a Dacmagic used with a SOnos wireless system to stream music from my PC to my main system...

You lot are a bit slow aren't you?I got the latest Naim Newsletter "Connections Winter 2009-2010" by post today.In there is a news article regarding the upgrades provided by the (imminent) HDX software update.As predicted, it mentions that music...

Can someone explain (in plain words for a computer novice) the difference between a 'Streamer' such as the Linn DS products and a Dac such as the new Naim product or the ones that where around already in the 90s.Is there a difference?Hans

I've got a Nait XS, MHDT Paradisea DAC and Squeezebox Duet. Monkey'ing around until I can get my hands on the Naim DAC. The output impedance on the Paradisea is 800 ohms. I've tried both the CD and HD input on the Nait. I get distortion unless I turn...

Played a Hendrix track from the HDX and it sounded appalling...as if it was being played in a cocktail shaker full of sand. Put the cd from which it was ripped into my normal Naim player and it was virtually unplayable...gaps, loud crunching noises,...
