Hi Guys,I think there are some great discussions on this subject, and I would be grateful for some thoughts and advice. I am not yet a Naim owner, but have heard and loved a CD5X and a Supernait and have mentally emptied my piggy bank, and will buy...

Which output from the Mac is best to feed a DAC with, USB or optical? Thinking about getting an entry-level dac to play around with, connected to my Mac Mini./Mattias

Apple scraps plans to cut the price of music downloads on its iTunes service in the UK.

OK, lets have another go at this - this subject is too important to get lost in another general hdx thread.I remind the readers of the little detail in the HDX specifications page:"The HDX digital audio architecture is not limited to 16 bit and...

Anyone else using Apple "Remote" to control iTunes with their iPod touch or iPhone? It is working very well for me and opens up all sorts of possibilities with equipment placement.

What is the general opinion on pc or mac based sources whats best what should we avoid

Now that would be an interesting collaboration. The useability of iTunes with the sound quality of a Naim implemented player. iTunes is a nice easy way of storing and using your music collection. Lots of nice apps to remotely control iTunes (and i...

Just seen this application which suggests control of Netstreams on the iTouch / iPhone and wondered if it would therefore work on the HDX as well:http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/iLoveContro...tron-NetStreams.html

I finally routed a network cable between my server and my SB3, which has been running wireless (mostly) since I bought it. I am all smiles and surprised by the imrovement. Quieter background, more analog-like sound, and more relaxing, with less...

What is an HDX like purely as a CD player? Would it be worthwhile getting rid of my CD player and using the HDX to play CD’s, with the added advantage of burning them to disc as I listen?
james nPosted: 18 June 2008Last Updated: 12 July 2008
Heard the HDX today - fantastic. User interface is great too. Naim reckon an app for the iPhone / touch will be released to allow control of the HDX. It's Naimnet enabled so will as well as providing an excellent source will distribute out to room...

I like many others was waiting for a Naim quality hard disk recorder - so what a massive disappointment that it appears that all it can do is rip my CDs and cannot record my LPs. Anybody explain the lack of thought behind that decision on Naim's part?...

So you have a 1,000 plus CD's and don't have the time or the patience to rip them yourself. Was wondering what file ripping services people use.Ripstyles.comPickled Productionsor someone else? If you use one, please let me know what you think of the ...

Earlier this evening I was given the chance to have one of my most beloved Bach recordings ripped to the HDX at the Summer Sounds event at Audio X in Worcester. Thanks to Maurice for letting me in, and Jason for letting me disrupt the schedule with...

Specifically, where in the process in the clock function? Is this something that is only active for local analog and the digital coax out such that the data that is sent out via cat5e/6, is actually impacted by the clock of the say, NNP 01/02 or...

Finally I had the chance to listen to the Linn ds system. Actually what I understand is the top current system, Ds Climax Climax Control preamp, and active speakers Climax 350A. I am a littel unsure about the prices, but it is not totally unreasonable...

I have tried to ask this before, but got no real answer.Because I am blind I will need to control any music server from a device wich has speech or braille output not just a regular screen. In my current situation this means either a pc running...

The title says it all. Are you running your media player as a transport or a player? I don't want this to be a d/a post, just wondering the preference. People with Netstreams setups (NS01/NS02 crowd), where are you keeping the NS unit? In your rack,...

Hi, I have just bought a squeezebox duet to go with my supernait. Currently using Chord optilink between SN and squeezbox, but still wondering if Naim's digital cable (DC1) would be better. Has anyone tried both?RegardsHallgeir

I assume that HDX has an Ethernet port? It appears to be running Windows XP Embedded.Is there a firewall in place? What protection does it have against local network denial of service attacks etc? Viruses?jon
thesherrifPosted: 18 June 2008Last Updated: 18 June 2008
this bit of software apparently allows you to direct a source (eg internet radio) to your hifi via an Airport Express! Sounds ideal...... does anyone know of /have any experience of this software ?
jon hPosted: 07 June 2008Last Updated: 08 June 2008
A thread, please, about the higher bit rate and higher sampling features that HDX supports:1) what formats, what bit rates?2) does this play from hard disc or only from over the network from some other storage?3) if it can play from hard disc, do I...

Really good and definitely the way of the future, especially when you consider that there is more and more music only available via MP3 or download. But I won’t be buying one. It’s too expensive - £4500 for a totally new source that...
