Does anyone have their HDX hooked up to a HD TV via VGA ? What is the output resolution of the external display from the HDX - I can't find it anywhere ?Finally, what's the general quality of the artwork that the HDX downloads itself ? I'm concerned...

Great, though scary, story from Andrew Everard at What HiFi on the preference for MP3 with the younger folk of today.....I'm reminded of Roy T's shocking conversation in the Uniti thread....quote:Originally posted by Roy T:Over Christmas I had the...

Hi FolksWith the discussions starting after the Bristol show, the one question I have is what are you going to use it with?Being new to Naim products I was initially unaware that Naim CD players do not have a digital out. Having a look at manuals...

Since Naim and others, on this forum have claimed that the HDX has the best rip software, which is superior to any other ripping software available, i.e. iTunes & EAC. This has been challenged by some on this forum and indeed the audiophile community. An article has picked up on this and puts forward a case that would suggest otherwise. The site also has a link to an article by Kent Poon, (Mastering engineer and member of the AES (Audio Engineering Society) who compares iTunes and EAC and...

The HDX may have the best ripping engine in the world, but I don't want to rip any CDs or digitalise my vinyl. So why post here - well I do want a nice office system that can play files I've downloaded to my computer. If that same system could play...

Anybody know if there will be an update to allow the R-com remote to control the HDX?I know there's a special mode to allow it to control the nVi, so maybe a new PIC is in the pipeline?Obviously, I can get the full GUI using a laptop (sadly not an...

Does anybody know if it's possible to delete selected tracks from ripped CDs using the Desktop Client?
nockerPosted: 30 March 2009Last Updated: 31 March 2009
when playing a pre-saved playlist why does my HDX only play the track I start it on and not the other 20 or so in the playlist?

Help! I'm trying to run the Desktop Client on my Mac using VMware Fusion. The Client installed just fine, however, when it scans for a Naim device, nothing appears - it doesn't connect. Any ideas?

Yes, they've easily earned my personal award for providing the best Customer Technical service! Let me explain...I had a problem with my HDX such that I could not play a saved playlist of more than 7 tracks.Anyway, I contacted my Naim dealer by phone...

We all know that to modify Naim gear is heresy of the gravest kind, where the only appropriate action is excommunication. BUT, it seems there is a thriving industry around "upgrading" DACs, streamers, etc. I have found one company which provides...

I am close to sliding down the HDX route - I think this implementation will suit me well, and it opens the door to hi-res files, and also keeps me away from ripping engines, computers in the living room, and it allows me to stash the CDs away in a...

Has anyone compared supernaits DAC with Benchmark DAC1 or any other DAC? How good is the DAC in the SN really?
docmarkPosted: 22 March 2009Last Updated: 24 March 2009
I've just noticed that when I put my HDX into standby, I hear a ground hum. That's a first for my system. It makes no difference if I move from floating to chassis ground. I don't hear the hum at all when the HDX is in full operational mode. My...

Having recently moved to an iMac from my now deceased PC, I was looking forward to the ease of use promised by most folks, the freedom from constant pop-ups, a smoother experience. In many ways the Mac is excellent, but I'm rather dismayed by how...

Hi all,All of my 'quality' listening is currently done through my LP12 SE rig and Naim electronics (vinyl only). I also have around 10,000 iTunes songs (roughly 50% uploaded from CD and 50% purchased from iTunes) that are played through a Fatman iTube...
