After much deliberation I have now upgraded to an Atom from a uq2. A significant improvement and the fact that it is a roon endpoint is a massive bonus for me. However, the WAF is limited in that the display cannot be turned off. This is a big problem if using the hdmi input for TV use. Any idea if this is something Naim is working on for a future update?
Other gripes are that there are no user programmable buttons on the remote (mainly for selection of the tv) and that it takes a while for the Samsung TV to realise that there is a “receiver” on the arc hdmi (but I am sure that is a Samsung problem). These aside I am very happy with the upgrade.
No news and the wait goes on… I don’t need to see the album cover. I know what is playing, I selected it! What is the life expectancy of my Atom’s display? I’m sure a replacement display will be covered by my 5 year warranty but the inconvenience!
Come on Naim! Surprise us with a firmware update that will please all.
Are there direct links to the naim site?
Or should I follow them on FB to get news? (I’m old fashioned, in that I prefer news from web sites or RSS feeds, if available…)
I’ll have a look on FB…
Yeah, just found it. Thanks!
I had clicked “connection/news” before, but that only brings you to the /connection URL; when going to the /news URL, it asks to sign up.
(And I must be blind: the update is also mentioned on the connection page / news section.)
Yes! At last! Cannot wait for the blackness. Hopefully the OTA firmware upgrade will be hassle free because updating the UQ was never straight forward.
The OTA firmware upgrade is a major improvement for the new streamers/uniti’s, no more trying to find that cable you haven’t used for ages, it’s been hassle free for my Nova so far.
