I have seen the recommendation for using a Seagate Pipeline HDD in the Uniti Core but those drives don't seem to be readily available anymore (at least in Australia). Is there a revised recommendation list and if so are the Seagate IronWolf/IronWolf Pro drives recommended? I have just had my UnitiServe 2Tb fail, fortunately with the HDD still intact. The local Naim dealer and distributor have generously offered to replace it with a Uniti Core at a significant discount. They intend to use the...

The dealer that installed and set-up the hard-drive in my new CORE selected the wrong format, NTFS instead of HFS+ for my iMac Apple network. I did not discover this until much later...and after I had ripped 1k CDs and as many file downloads from the network. And after I had created a backup HD in HFS+ . I now continually have quirky issues...i.e. a few time all music on the CORE disappeared and was un-retrievable and then returning a day or two later. What are my options: 1) reformat the...

i notice this evening that RTÉ radio 1 live has no audio, yes the logo is there at the bottom it is working fine on their app, on tunein radio. Just wondering is there a logical explanation as all other stations are streaming perfectly. I have two muso and this applies to both. The radio station is the bbc radio 4 in Ireland.

In the past, whenever my HDX has refused to recognise and rip a CD, the easy solution was to copy the CD onto a CDR, which then never failed to rip. Just recently, I've had a couple which the HDX failed to recognise, and no amount of "polishing" the disc cured things. However, as I was ripping a batch of CD's, I bunged the dodgy one back in at the end of the session, and, hey presto, it ripped fine. There's no logical explanation for this, but has anyone else experienced this strange...

I'm using Asset on my QNAP, I have Yate tagging software on my Mac and will use db Poweramp to rip CDs to the NAS. I have a NAC 272 streamer pre-amp. I would like my "The" artists listed not under T instead,for example The Beach Boys listed under B and in order to show other albums in Tidal as you scroll down on the Naim app it has to be listed as The Beach Boys and not Beach Boys or Beach Boys,The or else when you scroll down you see nothing. So there are settings in Asset under Artist and...

iPhone X and iOS 11.2.6 On the main screen when an album is playing there is a very handy volume slider at the bottom when I'm playing my Qute 2. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't really slide the volume slider as the entire app instead wants to slide off the screen to the left or right. (This is happening on the commercial release version of the Naim App as well as the current beta version which I test). It's been doing this for the past few versions. This is not NEW. If I touch the general area of...

I apologise if this has been posted already, I found lots of similar posts but none which specifically answer my question, which is: (How) can I play 320k BBC radio streams via iRadio for Muso? I can see and play 128k but can't find the 320k streams in iRadio. Cheers...

I currently use an ageing Netgear Readynas Duo with 150gb of Flac files on 2 x 500gb HD's in Raid. Rather than go to the expense of replacing the NAS plus Hard Drives I'm pondering an external Hard drive connected into one of the USB sockets on my new router, A TP Link VR2800. Has anyone any experience of doing this, will there be loss of sound quality? It seems a cost effective solution given that I do not use the NAS sharing features. The other option would be 256gb USB stick either into...

Just messing around with streaming Qobuz from iPhone X to my Nova and instead of the pair of quavers appearing on screen I'm now seeing album artwork - can anyone confirm this? Albums so far (not purchased): Thompson Twins - Into The Gap ( a fave pop album of the 80's) Nanci Griffith - Storms Marilyn Manson - Heaven Upside Down Gary Numan - Savage ....and this is weird as I've not manually updated either the Qobuz app or Nova firmware! Have the Qobuz streams changed or is this a change in...

Hello, I have recently exchanged my Uniti2 for a Nova and am very happy to date. One thing I have not been able to figure out yet is the way how to get my external headphone amplifier fired up right. Connected to the analogue RCA output of the Nova the volume of this output is so low that the headphones are almost still and no sound audible. Was not the case with the Uniti2. It seems as if the volume/loudness of the output needs to be regulated to a higher level. But where/how could this be...
dfeldmanPosted: 18 March 2018Last Updated: 19 March 2018
Am I correct in understanding that the Uniti Atom won't play Apple Lossless files served up via a server like Plex or Twonky? And if so, what's my best bet for doing lossless CD rips so that they'll be playable (and ideally still in a commonly-used format so it's not too Naim-specific)?

Hello, Who can advise me how to integrate Spotify in a good way into my system? Until now I use iPhone to Focal Wireless receiver but this sounds very poor of course! I know I can ad a NDS / 555 but I was wondering if there are cheaper options that sounds also very well in my system? Thanks, Olivier

Hi, My first post, I’m new to the Naim world, I’ve become a fan and regular reader of the forum and I thought it might be time to contribute. In 2016 I got a SupeNait Mk1 (paired with an Audiolab 8200CD) and then last year I upgraded to a 272 and 200 and then two months after that upgraded to a 250DR. The 200 just didn’t have the boogie factor of the SuperNait Mk1that I got used to and really enjoyed. The 250DR corrected that. Like a lot of people I had a bit of a bumpy ride with the Naim...

Can Naim reveal if the NDX 2 will include USB digital input? Regards,
TesilkPosted: 28 January 2018Last Updated: 17 March 2018
Happy New Year friends! Finally added today a 555 PS DR to 272. As it was stated by some here, it is just another level of everything. Sure it is the way to go if you can. Big difference on the streaming side, less on the preamp. Hope this helps. Enjoy! Serge

Hi all I see that Radio Paradise now has a lossless FLAC stream available. Are there any plans for this to be available via my 272 or is it already available and I'm such a dumbass I haven't worked it out yet? Many thanks Jay

Is there a way to sort albums into alphabetical order in the music library on the Muso? i would find it much easier to find artists/albums that I wish to play, instead of having to go from start to finish. thanks for any help!
Mike McDonaldPosted: 14 March 2018Last Updated: 16 March 2018
Hi, I've been able to get the FLAC stream of Radio Paradise on it's own app, but does anyone know if it's possible to locate this stream on the Unityqute? Thanks, Mike

Like many others my Muso still won't run from the Android app. In our house we have 3 different Android (HTC, Samsung) devices and the app just won't work. Sometimes it will play music just for 1 day and the next day it won't connect on any of the devices. I'm really starting to lose my patience with the Muso. I've tried different versions of the app but all with the same result. It's too late to return my Muso to the shop to get refund, if I had known this from the start I would not have...

Folks Just a little story about my experience this weekend. On Saturday I had downloaded some music to my QNAP NAS and was editing the metadata and lost connection to the NAS. At a similar time the music stopped too. After a visit to our understairs cupboard I established that the QNAP had restarted itself and was booting up. After some minutes it was up and running and I received a warning that I should do a file system check which I did without issue. Everything seemed OK. Overnight I...

Hi all, I have been using a Core with an internal solid state drive for the past several months. Playback is straight from the Core to a dac, so no network involved. My music was, up until now just my cd's (350 so far) ripped straight to the internal ssd. More recently I now have a USB attatched hard drive with distinct music on it as well as my cd's which I just backed up to it. My question is how can I choose which drive to listen to (internal or usb) on the fly. I may for instance have...

TOTALDAC D1 usb-cable,I have never heard about them......and yesterday I read this... ------------------------------------------------------- I just switched my Audioquest Diamond for the Totaldac USB-cable. I read all the positive comments but I was a bit skeptical,but I take the chance. The difference is immediately noticable, more detail, blacker background, more lifelike, more analogue,more flow,less sharpness without being flat or dull. I found all comments I read to be fairly accurate.

Hi there, Powered down my UnitiServe SSD before going one week on holiday ... came back and powered up again, but could not wake the US. The PS blinks vaguely and irregularly ... Another thread in this forum from 2012 suggests replacing the PS, but can someone tell me what the problem may be? Is it really a PS failure? Seems to be such an everlasting part of the system that should not ever fail. My US SSD is on 24/7 otherwise, except for holiday periods. Michael
