Whilst reading the positive review of the new Naim DAC in HIFI World and also one of the reader's letters I read that whilst the DAC will read from a USB stick NAIM do not provide a direct computer USB input on the new DAC because of the inherent...

Hi all,I am just building a house and want to centralise all my computer/music gear in a single area in the cellar.I will have a seperate cinema room and TV corner, but want to listen to music properly in the lounge, but I would like to keep my kit in...

Apologies to ask this question as I have searched and found it discussed many times, but reading the posts has only left me more confused than I was before. Really sorry to ask, but I have an HDX which is going to be full very soon. I understand...

It would seem The Beatles Stereo Remasters released on USB will not play on my Uniti, either directly from the stick via the USB input or saved as a FLAC file and streamed through uPnP.It plays perfectly on a PC using Foobar2000 however. Some albums...

My NaimUniti regularly requires a restart, using the rear rocker switch, when it fails to initialise an input following a pause in play.The most common culprits are the iRadio and iPod n-link inputs.The display goes into a loop and the Uniti will not...

Hi, I have a quick question for those using an Airport Express. I have a Netgear NAS and wish to be able to place it away from my router (in the living room) so it can be tucked out of sight and sound. I have an airport express which I previously used...

Is there any benefit to using an external power supply, such as a 555PS, on both the HDX and DAC? Or is the power supply just used with the DAC?

I have a feeling (not strong enough to make it a statement) that high quality Red Book records (like XRCD24) can be indistinguishable from hi-res master tape.I didn't make direct tests on the same records but for example Super Sound collection from...

OK so I have never contributed here before so if I am asking a question that has been done to death already apologies...just pop a link in and that will be that...otherwise here goes.Has anybody compared the audio results using the likes of a Denon (...

Somehow I can't seem to find the HDX client disc in the box with my instruction manual.Is there anywhere that this can be downloaded?Thanks!

For any and all Foobar users out there with iPhones/Touch, you can now use Apple's own "Remote" App to control Foobar.http://wintense.com/plugins/foo_touchremote1) Extract the component to your components folder.2) Ensure you have Bonjour installed...

Is anybody else having trouble with this £95 cable?I have to restart the Uniti or disconnect and reconnect the n-Link every time the unit is paused/stopped and left for a while.When I attempt to listen to the iPod again a 'Please Wait' Input...

Currently I have c.60Gb of a variety of 128/192/320 and ALAC files covering >600 albums, stored on a NAS, syncing with 2 Apple TVs, one connected via Toslink to my SuperNait, the other to the main TV in the lounge.I have been gradually replacing...

Hi,can I tell by the serial number whether I listened to a pre production DAC or a real production DAC? From which number on is a normal production DAC?Thanks!

I'm sure that this is a common question, but I cannot find any answers as yet.I am considering the HDX and it seems that an internet connection is most important to realize its full potential. It would be pretty difficult for me to hard-wire an...

The Chrismas card season has been declared open, digital whishes to all of you!!

I currently have my HDX hardwired to my router which necessitates dragging a cable across floor ... not ideal aesthetically!I understand that I can connect via the mains using some hardware from Devolo ... I've just done a quick search and there...

Hi all,what is your experience with Internet Radio streamers? Has anyone found a good-enough kit to do justice to a NAIM Setup?Thanks and regards,Salvo

What are the best USB Flash Drives to use with the HDX? Are they all pretty much the same?

Actually I am feeding Uniti from my brand new M2Tech HiFace and Amarra /iMac at 192k/24 bit and it works I am more than surprised. I do not know if it is downsampled or not internally, but sounds very good.

Does NaimUniti read ID3v2.4 tags?Tom

Had my first HDX crash this evening. While playing Merz' Loveheart, it got into a loop and sounded like a scratched record, repeating every few seconds or so, and then finally rebooting.I'm not complaining, as long as it doesn't make a habit of it,...

HiFollowing some issues with ripping a couple of CDs with XLD, I have had to rip a couple using iTunes to WAV. Clearly this won't enable me to include tags automatically on the files, however is there a way to post-process them? I'd like the...

Which Naim cd player have you compared or replaced with the Weiss Dac2?I am making arrangement to demo both the Weiss and Naim dac in my system. I have a Empirical Audio USB convertor for the Naim, and plan to use firewire for the Weiss.Hopefully,...
