New Naim & Focal what?

It certainly is Stuart - one of the most musical CD players ever made I think and the hinged perspex lid is still a beautiful and iconic design. Sadly mine is still awaiting repair as Naim have been a bit busy in recent months :wink:

Fortunately I’m pretty sure it’s just a capacitor that’s drifted as there’s an odd crackle/hiss on one channel and it did the same thing about 15 years ago which Naim fixed last time quite simply.

I bought a CD soundtrack only yesterday and miss being able to just put it on! Hopefully the CDi will be back in service soon…

Not only is it sonically and aesthetically superb but so user friendly. Arguably Naim’s best ever product.

Are you looking at the files un the USB input? To see metadata you should look under Server/Local Music.

Hi Chris,

I have Ssd connected to the usb in the Ndx 2 but no album covers possibly.

I think you misspelled “impatience” :crazy_face:

Plus it’s only one more day effectively

The USB input only gives you a basic folder view where you would not expect to see any artwork, except in the play queue after you have selected some music where it should be visible.
In the Server input when viewing the same files the metadata should be browsable and artwork should be visible when browsing. If this is not the case there could be a problem with the way the metadata is stored that prevents the streamer from reading it.

The Number of the Beast?

That would make a great new topic, 500 series owners what did you own immediately before the 500?

I’m actually in a tree opposite the Naim hq spying any logistics and reporting it to various Naim aficionados who pay me for it. It’s patience what I play to kill time.

One day to go. No teasers on the web site, that might be a good thing after the big Muso 2 launch letdown.

I thought all the trees in the vicinity were cut down to make way for the subterranean Stonehenge bypass

I thought they were used for the Muso Wood edition (which esthetics I really like).

If we find the forum in read only mode in the next day or two, we might suspect something is (shortly) up.

No trees in the way of JV’s favorite transmitter, if its still the one i know.

Prefer Rowridge myself

…perhaps it is something really new and exciting and available in large numbers!

That would be great for some of us who may have the opportunity to upgrade via the used gear listings at our local dealer!

I’m sure there was something recently from Alpha PE, that there was some kind of rationalisation of the lineup from VAG and some ESG related guff. Something to do with 2’s and 3’s…Or did I just dream it?:wink:

We’ll it’s the 4th here tomorrow, though the product launch emails seem to come out in UK time and I’m not expecting it until Thursday morning. By which time the forum will be in meltdown.
