I like to live dangerously 
And as David H helpfully points out, it’s not all that dangerous.
My NDS came with v4.6 firmware. Only yesterday I was debating whether to install v4.7. So I guess I’ll wait a bit…
@easeback1 you have convinced me to give wireless a go when this new update arrives. Good luck with the NDS should be a brilliant source. I think if you want to use Tidal, you may need 4.7 so it works properly.
Enjoy.
The wired-only advice likely dates from a decade or so ago when wi-fi networks were less stable.
Thanks, the NDS is proving to be a fantastic purchase. Running Qobuz via Audirvana / Mac Mini.

I can confirm David’s point that doing the update over WiFi is generally fine, over the years I must have done 20 or so updates without the Ethernet cable and never had one go wrong.

Also any reason you’re not using a local NTP source and using time.netweaver.uk instead ?
Or even pool.ntp.org.
Just did a packet capture on my mu-so v1 and noticed it.

And while you’re at it please also fix this long running bug
Reported several times,never got a straight answer. 
Couldn’t care less about the security issue but if above bug could be fixed that would be great.
Amen to fixing the bug that complicates playing DSD tracks larger than 1 GB on first-gen streamers (NDS, NDX)! While this doesn’t manifest itself for much outside of the long movements of late 19th-century symphonies, it is a little disappointing that a company that sweats the details like Naim hasn’t been able to fix this bug.
I just checked the internal settings of a Muso Qb Gen1 & also wirssharked it and its using 0.pool.ntp.org as its NTP server of choice. This can be overiden if the DHCP server supplies an NTP server of choice to use.
See wireshark screenshot of choice of a Muso Qb gen1 starting up and doing the DNS lookup.

@Stevesky Thanks for that, Ah time.netweaver.uk must have been part of the pool.ntp.org.

Hi @SneakyPete, @JSchmidt
RE: DSD - Try the new code out when it comes out - you might be pleasantly surprised.
