I have Tidal Hi-Fi level subscription. Under Settings-Streaming-Quality there is a choice Hi-Fi (lossless) and Master(the best audio experience). There are also Sound Output choices. I use a 272 as streamer pre-amp,NAS with Asset and as such can't play Masters MQA through the Naim app controlling the 272. Would it be better for me to leave the Streaming setting on Tidal to Hi-Fi or do I derive any benefit to placing the setting on Masters or might that be worse not be able to utilize...

When I rip my CDs, I have my UnitiServe SSD (US) set to store in WAV format. Subsequently I have been encoding the stored WAV files to MP3 320kb and set it so that any new CDs are stored both to WAV and MP3. I have then transferred a number of the MP3 files to a USB drive to use in the car. Unfortunately, I have found that about 40% of the MP3 files generated by the US will not play in the car; nor will they play using other players such as iTunes, Windows Media Player or Beat. The 60% that...

Hi, I am running a 300/272 and controlling using the Android app. My first phone was very slow, and I would get problems when things just grind to a halt. I bought a new phone which is much faster so expected the Naim App to be smooth. It is not, the problem I get is when the phone blanks the screen for inactivity (30 seconds by default), when you access the screen again to wake it up. The screen does not restore, it gets the naim app to completly reload, and fails because it notices another...

last night's new version is moderately better, but still has a host of design sillyness. My favourite is the Edit Metadata page on Core where the heading is clipping and appears as "... . .... . .... .. ..." bottom volume slider is still much too close to the apple app change bar. maybe the third go at "improved for iphone x" will iron these things out?

Tried replying to prev thread by DRPO but it's now closed to new replies. Am experiencing exactly the same issue with DSF files of Mahler symphonies when more than 25 mins in length. NDS will play the first few minutes in excess of that and then stops - eg 8mins of a 33min track, 3mins of a 28 min track (similar to as DRPO described). Files are on a Synology NAS. Doesn't matter what the UPnP server is eg minimserver or asset on the NAS or Asset running from an imac. Files play fine on Roon...

Hi Everyone I just upgraded my UQ to the latest software (Version 4.4) in the hope of trying Spotify and/or Tidal. The unit restarted fine but I can't see Spotify or Tidal in any menu or the App but otherwise everything is working just fine. Maybe my unit is not compatible? Extensive Googling hasn't led my anywhere, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

I hope Richard will allow this, as it might be perceived as more relevant to an iTunes forum. At the same time, I cannot be the first poster who previously had a large iTunes library but now has a Naim streamer (Atom in my case) but still wishes to use an Apple portable MP3 player (iPod 6thG 120GB) for car and holiday use. I have a large FLAC library on my NAS drive and a large MP3 library on iTunes with plenty of music being in one of the libraries but not the other. The music that is in...

Now have a NDX/XPSdr Super lumina 5pin to 552/555dr Question, would a 555 be a major upgrade on the NDX or do I wait to find a NDS/555 in the gently loved catagory? btw, Most of my downloaded music is hd flac , either 96/24 or 192/24 .

Although a newcomer to streaming audio, I was long led to believe that the FLAC format was indistinguishable from LPCM -WAVE file specifically. Although my nascent listening evaluations (thus far) hardly qualify as thorough, my set-up (for whatever reason) clearly reveals WAVE to be superior to the same CD recorded using FLAC (lossy formats need not apply). Here (on Naim forums), I was given reasons as to why this may be so (for my set-up). No arguments. I was enlightened. Yet, it does...

hello, a very technical question. I decided to try the “on the fly” conversion from flac to wav with my unitiserve. Followed the instructions from a recent post and it worked. However, when I played a 192 Flac, it looks like it is being converted to 44.1 wav (according to the app display and the streamer screen) Is the US able to transcode hi res files? thanks ..

Hi all, hope we enjoyed a good weekend! I would like to ask if anyone knows of how best I can connect my nova to a pair of BT headphones? Q1:Can Bluetooth in the nova be used as an audio out (to connect a pair of bluetooth headphones to receive the audio signal ? Q2: Pretty sure the answer to the above is no and in the event I had thought a plan B could be to purchase a BT receiver and connect to the 3.5mm jack then connect headphones to that. Can anyone recommend a good receiver (must be...

Can somebody advise the path name to add a Uniticore as a network share in Roon?

Hi All, Currently I have an old system, 5i series CD, amp and Arivas, that do seem to work well in my 5mx8m room, I have Google CCA into my amp for streaming Spotify Premium (via 3.5mm to phono) and also on my Muso QB in the kitchen (this time via optical). I'm happy with this for entertaining guests or background music/radio, as I can stream to both, without issue. I use Spotify direct for Muso alone. I would like to improve the sound from my main system for more critical listening. I...

Hello The Naim app (I'm using an iPhone 8Plus and an iPad Pro) has stopped displaying album artwork. Here's my setup: Music Systems: a UnitiQute and and a Muso / Computer and OS: MacMini with OS High Sierra / UPnP Music Server: "Playback" with music files managed by iTunes (most current version) Album artwork for each of my albums is added using iTunes (selecting an album and adding the JPEG file to it in iTunes). All the artwork appears in iTunes but the Naim app has them blank. Any clues...

How can I turn off the display of the Atom while playing Music? The older range had a "disp" button on the remote. Sitting in a dark room, listening to quite music with a bright yelling Display (depending on the cover / artwork) is annoying. The time/watch options fails as it reverts to cover after a few seconds. Thanks in advance. Lorenz

I have looked at searches for optimising my streaming set up after recently purchasing a 272/250. I am still a relative novice but all seems to be working well. Interestingly with my previous system I was dedicated to cable management but in my haste to set up the new system I paid little attention to this. Having taking a trip away for the weekend I powered down and realised things were a mess. On returning I have separated mains from ethernet cables etc. I have also ordered an ifi ipower...

Apologies in advance for raking some old ground, but I am thinking of trialling a Melco in my system. I’d be very keen to hear from anyone with experience of owning (and presumably liking?) a Melco as well as those who’ve tried one and rejected it and why they did so. Martin Colloms (a view I generally trust) seemed to slightly damn with faint praise the N1Z, bothered by the reclocking technology possibly affecting PRaT. Anyone agree/disagree with that? Anyway, keen to hear from you ..

Hi, I want to run the RCA output of ND5 XS or 202 tape to an amp in a second room. Can anyone advise if IR functions of an nnp01 allow you to control input and volume with a Naim remote ? Thanks, Andrew.

Hi folks I'm building a system in the next 3-6 months and looking closely at the Uniti Star. Will it support this scenario? We want to play CD's in the lounge (check!) We want to burn CD's also (check!) We burn to FLAC or WAV for hi-def audio in the lounge (check!) Potentially save all music to a NAS? In other rooms, we want our Sonos to be able to read the music library. Does it expose it's library nicely to Sonos? If Star was a line-in to a Sonos Connect, could we play it in sync with...

Question - an MQA encoded stream from Tidal how should this playback via the Naim app? So I have Alanis Morissette, MTV Unplugged 'Master' version selected in my 'My Music' Albums from Tidal. In the Tidal app, it plays as MASTER, indicated in the taskbar, so it undergoing playback at 24/96, given that the Tidal app on Windows has MQA software decoding, allowing for the 'first unfold' of an MQA encoded track. From Roon, it shows the playback path is for an MQA 192kHz track, which is playing...

Whilst searching for cables earlier i came across a product which may be of interest to those who like to fiddle with their network. We have discovered that both Ethernet Router and Switch benefit sonically from from being supported by our ballbearing tripod supports. Easy to fit in seconds under your Router or Switch - either or both. You may be amazed, or even very surprised indeed at the improvement in clarity, tunefulness, dynamics and harmonics that this very simple, easily reversible,...

Help! Does the Naim App really not support Mute, or is it just that I cannot find it? (sorry if this is the wrong forum- where do I post requests for support?)
