Mmmm. There have been a few comments regarding the new firmware sounding overly bright.
I wonder if Naim actually have an upper age limit for their Beta testers. Let’s hope they’re not letting a bunch of 70 year olds decide what sounds best.
Pretty sure one of the beta testers is deaf in at least one ear. Scary.
Must give a disclaimer
The update is wonderful and there is definitely a lot improvement.
But I spent soo much time in getting my system into balance that I even go without more detail, air, punch and get my balance back.
It’s only me - as often.
Beta testing is using a pre release firmware to identify issues when used in the wild. No more no less. It’s Naims choice to do something with any of the comments or not.
It’s also a volunteer act by people using their own bought systems to try and make things better for everyone.
That said since I got my first Naim in 2019 every single firmware have had some folk comment here that it was worse sounding than the previous one.
Definitely, kind of what I meant, one firmware with a single signature may please some more than others. But it’s tuned by Naim according to their standards, not by a bunch of beta testers making similar comments about liking or not liking that everyone else does.
Well, I’ve done everything I can think of to get the Google Assistant to work after the updates (unplug/replug, factory reset, delete and recreate my Google Home, etc.)
Can’t anyone who has installed the update try giving a command to “Play music on [Name of Naim device]”, and let me know if it works? That way, I could at least determine if the problem is specific to my setup.
This whole separate menu for streaming services is a dogs dinner in my view.
In the regular Input Settings menu they are there like they always used to be until you enable them, then they vanish without explanation!
Further confusion that the words Input Enabled are used when it isn’t. If it said Enable Input that would indicate that pressing the button would do so.
Why these inputs need to be on a separate list when they all appear in the same input section of the home page is beyond me.
