Streaming Audio
What it says in the title - any ideas why? I don't have Spotify premium and last used my free account months ago. We have the Muso Qb in our bedroom on a chest of drawers and were drifting off to sleep at about 11pm when all of a sudden it just started up and played something or other. I raced over to turn it off (we have two kids under 3 and didn't want to wake them) and saw the Spotify logo was illuminated before I hit the 'off' button on top. From memory, I have never used Spotify with...
Will a power supply (XPS-2 or ND5XS) improve the SQ from ND5XS if using it to render digital streaming into an external DAC? If so, how? I believe the power supply is for the analogue side only. Maybe the gains from a PSU (reduced "noise"?)are no greater than those from turning off the analogue outputs.
Software downloaded. Wizard working. Everything plugged up as per. "Device not recognised"... Any ideas?
I realise this topic comes up regularly, but would be grateful for guidance from classical music listeners please. I am wanting to edit the tags on a number of albums where they display and sort wrongly, or in which the individual tracks aren’t in the correct order. I am using a windows pc with windows10 through which I download music and then transfer over my network to the Core. What are the best programs currently to use please?
Hi, Is it possible to mute the preamp out of the Nova if required and use the sub out for my headphone amplifier? That is what I have been told by my German retailer? Optional: can I mute the loudspeaker out so that I can use the preamp out for my headphone amplifier? Best
I have a streaming system and I'm ripping CDs to a NAS drive. I'm using dBpoweramp, as it was recommended. However, it is totally rubbish. Before my NAS system I simply used iTunes and I never had a problem ripping CDs into iTunes, my entire CD collection is in there. But, ripping with dBpoweramp is proving useless. It only rips about 7 to 8 out of every 10 CDs, chucking out 'Inaccuracy' codes. All my CDs are brand new without even a fingerprint on them, I'm fastidious about that sort of...
I was a bit surprised to see an iOS app store update for N-Serve today. It claims that it 'Fixed crashes reported on iOS9.' Anyway, I updated it and now have version 2.12 (11514) instead of the old version, which was, .....errrrr..... 2.12 (11514). Or is this just the app store having a wobbly?!
Has anyone found or is anyone using a good ID metadata tag editor app which can be used on an iPhone? To be clear, iOS not OSX... Last time this was asked - some time last year according to my search just now - the only solution offered was JRiver with JRiver remote app. Just wondering if there is anything which avoids having to go down that route. The real driver here is idleness - not having to turn the PC on and fire up tagscanner.
Hi, My HDX does not see the QNAP NAS that is on the same network. It does not come up as a "share" although I have tried many times to refresh. My 272 "saw" it immediately though. The NAS is connected to the same swith as the 272 and I have tried having the HDX (which the 272 "sees") on the same switch or straight into the router. What magic do I have to bring to the network to make the HDX see the NAS and be able to rip to it? Anyone?
Hi, Does anyone konw if the DAB/FM module can be added later, after purchase? I am not sure whether I will need this currently but I would be good to know that it can be installed later if I decide to have it.
Unless I'm missing something Naim are really missing a couple of tricks. Album artwork display is great, but otherwise options seem very limited. An option to display the clock permanently (ideally with an analogue option), a choice of screen savers, being able to change the colour, better and/or selectable icons are just a few ideas off the top of my head. EDIT - I've also got up in the morning and found the display blank but the four buttons on the right illuminated which I don't...
Hi! Is there anyway to show which format is playing in the naim app? If I play for example 96/24 it would be nice if it were displayed in the app. Does anyone now if this is possible? Thanks!
I am continually having to switch off my android pad, then switch it on again I choose an album or a track, play it and press the button on the pad to put it on standby Re-press it to choose another disc or track, and as often as not nothing. Current playlist is there, but not album list - MinimServer lost Only solution is pad off/then on again - gets tedious. Can anyone point me in a direction to try to solve this issue, maybe even why it happens ? Much appreciate any assistance !
As above. Has anyone experienced this as well? Locked for 3 days. Tried switching off at wall socket etc. but still the same. I like the Eagles but not for all albums!
I discovered today that there is a possibility to stream files or rips without using the solution of dedicated switch connected to a commercial router. Some use a dedicated hifi switch to avoid the commercial router. How many use a dedicated hifi switch? is it always better, for sound quality, vs a switch connected to a commercial router? I use cisco 2960 with is connected to a commercial router ( for tv/ phone/ ethernet). But before my nds i use an optical bridge with high quality linear...
Just noticed that ECM are now allowing their catalogue to be streamed on all the major providers
Hi there, I have my FLAC files organised on a Synology NAS. However, when I last checked, there was some 33,000 or so. Is this going to be a problem using something from Naim? I've read the limit is 20,000. Any advice appreciated.
I have quite a few albums in the downloads folder in the US in flac format How can I get the US to transcode to wav as it plays the album? Can i do it in the n-serve app? Cheers.
This is probably obvious to anyone under 60 so please forgive me but: In the Naim App when you are playing a track you get a race track icon to the right which means "repeat this track" and on the left is a criss cross icon which doesn't appear to do anything. Does anyone know what it is for?
Anyone changed from Unitiqute 2 to Atom? Any thoughts?
Just realised Deezer do lossless which appeals to me as I use Android Auto allot meaning Spotify (320) or a not so neat Tidal workaround using my watch to control the app as opposed to andeoid Auto. Anyway Set up Deezer Premium + but why does it not show up like Spotify and Tidal in the Naim app ? Searched and Nova does support Deezer or it is only Bluetooth if so assume that will not be lossless ... ?
Hi, I'm popping along to the Uniti demo that Audio T have in Manchester tonight. Just wondering if anyone else is going, so that I could say hi if so. (Richard I hope this doesn't count as advertising,, if it does sorry.)
Has anybody had a problem as the app (android) shows tracks as playing but the sync/hd lights on the dac have gone out and no music is playing, even thought he app says it is. I tried powering on/off and reset the unitycore but still no music. Can anybody help? Thanks
I bought my HDX second hand and promptly upgraded fully with a service. Now I don’t know if this occurs with the recent fad of streamers, but I quite regularly need to unpower and reboot. Sometimes the ‘turning off’ gets locked in the fan cooling (unless I’m too impatient). The sound is fine and there are no issues, but does this lack of smooth running occur: 1) Because servicing doesn’t restore the product? 2) Streaming devices have this implicit flaw?
