None prevents Naim from adopting software solutions that are available, reliable and well supported. Bryston, Sonore, Melco and many other manufacturers do this.
I do think it’s odd that some experience issues and others not.
My NDX2 has been fine for ages then yesterday just randomly in the middle of music, not doing anything it just rebooted. Naim logo shown on the front and white loading bar on the bottom.
That’s easy. Obviously they didn’t. I meant that I won’t judge the reasons why as I don’t have the data, and was referring to “I do not trust their capability to support and maintain their own software any longer.”
I just can’t understand how long it takes Naim for updating their firmware. Week after week goes by and everything we always get is “we’re getting close to the public release”. It’s absolutely an illusion to think that there will be no problems with the new firmware or any firmware related problems at all. I’ve already reported a firmware bug introduced with firmware 3.5.1 (an AirPlay 2 connection bug) they will not fix yet with the new firmware 3.6.0.
So please Naim do release new firmware earlier and more often !!!
(Just in case, yes I’ve already asked to join the beta program, but they currently have the maximum number of beta testers for Naim Uniti products who they can support.)
Nobody ever said, the apocalypse was coming physically…
… maybe driving human beings mad with strange, sudden, and indeterministic behavior is enough? Promising heaven, and then always stealing it away with our without excuses (=error codes)? (Not to mention manipulation through sound, both audible and inaudible.)
Someone should do a percentage of posts mentioning actual reboots vs. posts containing only hand-wringing about other people’s reboots
Just kidding, I don’t want to diminish the real pain of those who are more affected. Be assured that work is slogging on in the beta group with rapid updates.
Right, reliability is boring and, after all, quite stuffy! Money cannot buy everything and … anyway this is … high-end audio, it is not computer stuff, is it?
