Impressions with new FW (3.11.0 and other generations...)

@Fatcat

Ha - what I was referring to is members going back to the 3.8 FW

Time to live ok ahead and be positive

Whilst I respect your point I don’t see what’s negative about stating a preference for a previously released FW. Similar observations happen all the time on the forum. Letting this thing ruin our listening experience is another thing all together. As we saw with DB’s 3.10 USB “trick” for example Naim receiving critical feedback from forum members can have a positive result.

Some of us think the reverse is true.

We have a gold standard in 3.8.x and if we hadn’t collectively held Naim to account you’d still be listening to 3.10.x with an impression that it was good because you were told that was so.

No need for apathy.

Also, @Cohen1263, credit where credit is due as I believe it was @stavrose that first raised USB and thankfully Darkebear followed up with detailed steps and advice.

Yes thanks to Stavrose also of course.

One thing I’m wondering about: does firmware also affect the sound quality of the analog input on a Naim Uniti Nova? As far as I know, the analog input is digitized inside the amplifier.

Firmware controls the behavior of the hardware. So, it could. Naim has generally been very good about sussing these effects out across their product lines, though.

Hi ya @Blackbird .

It’s 17:22 GMT…what time are you thinking :joy: :joy: .

In all seriousness i wonder how many will download the new FW as and when it’s available.
3.11 for me since having ND555 power supplies serviced has been all good this end. Having said that i still have faith in Naim and our wonderful Beta Team…no pressure guys!!!

Yes I’m on 5.3.0. My hope is I get 6.6.6 but might be asking for too much.

Would members please refrain from posting AI slop images , especially ones with Naim’s logo.

I feel some new forum rules regarding AI content in posts is required. Thank you.

Good idea.

It would save a lot of aggravation if you spelled out who is actually responsible for policing the new rules. Or, more to the point, who isn’t.

As being the „owner“ of this thread, I would like to avoid finger pointing :relieved_face:
