    Streaming to Naim Help!

    After testing the iRadio feature and having the same issue I realised it wasn't the NAS of the UPNP software and must be the Naim. Did a factory reset and all is now good. I imagine it started after I did a software update. Many thanks to those who replied.

    Streaming to Naim Help!

    I am going to try that route but I am awaiting approval before I sign in and post. Not sure how long it takes so thought I'd ask here in the meantime as missing my music.

    Streaming to Naim Help!

    Hello, I have a Naim Unitiqute 2 which plays through some Neat Motive 2 speakers. Music is streamed to the Naim from a QNAP over ethernet via an Ethernet switch. The problem that I noticed this morning is when playing tracks they sound like they are scratched, can't think of a better...

    Rear Speaker Advice to go with Neat Motive 2 and Centre

    I good shout, you can get them in white, wall mount them and they are small. But as you say they are £600-£700 and probably slightly over my budget. I think they might also be wasted as rears with their musical ribbon tweeters.

    Rear Speaker Advice to go with Neat Motive 2 and Centre

    I have bought some Neat Motive 2's and a Motive Centre to replace my RX1 and RX Centre in my system. I am unsure of what speakers are going to work best as rear surrounds and front heights. They need to be unintrusive and wall mountable. Currently use Monitor Audio R180's as rears and R45 as...

    What HiFi Awards

    This isn't a criticism of What HiFi but the awards seem a little F1. Slightly different chassis names from last year but very similar results.

    What HiFi Awards

    Anyone wake up this morning to an email from Richer Sounds telling you a lot of the What HiFi Awards winners? Is this normal before anything officially released from What HiFI themselves?

    Speaker Help

    My room is 3.5m wide by 6 m. Music ranges from everything. Electronic, to Indie. I like to feel the kick of drums and feel some bass in dance tracks. I'm not a bass head though. Basically I would like a more muscial version of the RX1. I could afford £1200 to £1500 but not keen to spend all that...

    Speaker Help

    This seems to have been discussed many times, but nothing seems to have quite answered my questions. I currently have a MA RX1 and RX centre set up at home. I have always used my Marantz SR7005 for music duties but recently added a Naim UnitiQute 2 into the equation which is brilliant. Ever...

    Naim Unitilite Audition

    Does anything compete with the Unitilite in terms of being able to work with my AV Receiver, replace my SB Touch and seperate DAC? I'm very interested but worried about the bad reports of the Naim with Monitor Audio. I have the RX surround system and can't afford to replace them. Need something...

    Music Streaming - Any blu-ray players up to the job?

    Thanks everyone. I have looked at the Oppo's before but want to keep the need to use the TV out of the equation. It would seem all can stream but none can replace the function of a streamer. The more boxes I can reduce the more chance of fitting in a seperate amp alongside the AV for HiFi...

    Tellurium Q black..Any thoughts?

    How do you find the TQ Black interconnects? Currently have the Chord Anthem 2 and wondering if it is worth changing them to match my TQ Black Speaker cable. Have you tried the links also? Again have the Chord Signiture links and pretty sure it isn't worth changing except I like stuff to match.

    Music Streaming - Any blu-ray players up to the job?

    I'm starting to think I have too many boxes & cables and need to simplify. Currently I'm using a Squeezebox Touch with upgraded PSU as my music player and this is connected to an external DAC. I also have a blu-ray player. Do any current blu-rays offer the same functionality as the Touch i.e...

    QNAP NAS 412 Turbo NAS - A huge step backwards in my life

    You need to go into your LMS settings and click on the advanced tab. In there is a drop down and select performance. Under Artwork pre-caching make sure it says pre-cache album artwork. You might also want to set the server priority to -20. Then just rescan your library. I also advise switching...

    Thoughts on Beresford Bushmaster Dac

    I'll help this thread out a little bit then as I am certainly not Stanley Beresford. I bought the Bushmaster to go with my Squeezebox and it made a huge difference. I just started enjoying my music again. A lot of people seem to want to wait and see how it compares to other DAC's but from my...
