![]() ![]() In the new architecture Naim in conjunction with StreamUnlimited went to great lengths with their NP800 subsystem to decouple the stream transport variances with sonic performance. So in all this it is now the streamer that is key, not the stream aggregator or media server. This is not the case in any meaningful way with the new streamers especially with decoupled DACs. So for example Asset and BubbleUPnPServer sounded different (subtly… but always clearly identifiable) despite playing the same media on the same platform. I shared my findings and traces with Naimbased on my NDX whilst they were developing the new streamers. I found a correlation between sonic performance and inter media frame timing consistency during the media bursts, and TCP session management exchanges. I found the with the Naim legacy streamers, media was subtly different from different media servers. You don’t say what streamer you have unless I have missed it. It feels like the lifespan of my 272 just got further extended ! Next step might be to set up Roon but I’ll first explore about Roon. A clear uplift in SQ vs Tidal on a number of tracks. Now enjoying Qobuz on the 272 and very happy about it. I had to tweak some settings on my firewall and I suppose that’s what made it work ultimately. The main issue I faced was to get the NAC272 listed in the list of ‘media renderers’ when setting up BubbleUPnp. But step by step and in the end it worked. The part about typing code in the Terminal window of the Mac was a bit scary as just copy/pasting stuff that was totally foreign to me. ![]() I’ve also followed the instructions from. I already had the NAS up and running and for me it was all about setting up the BubbleUPnp server. I spent a couple of hours and thought it would never work but in the end it did ! Managed to make it work on a Mac with a synology NAS and the Linn Kazoo app and NAC272 yesterday.
