Good question ref ipv6.
On newer Naim hardware it fully supports ipv6 in the operating system, but we have purposely disabled it for now.
Why? UPnP, Samba and ipv6 can be problematic depending on the mix of NAS’s and software used. ipv6 can also expose quirky bugs in home wifi routers and the only solution is to swap them out for a newer superior router. For some isp’s this is not so easy as the router is locked to their account.
Ideally I would like to get ipv6 support enabled as default in about 24 months, but we might have to put in an advanced feature to disable it.
Overall we want the user experience as smooth as possible which means we need a critical mass of ipv6 stable, compliant equipment and software apps to be out there.
