The 272 predated the new streaming platform by 2 -3 years. So several years ahead of first gen introduced in say, 2011. The 272 was taken off the market reasonably quickly by Naim standards.
From my perspective only, I would be somewhat peeved having paid for one to find out that the technology in the 272 was not up to scratch to implement Qobuz.
Yes, they could have built a platform capable of hi-res internet streaming in 2015. They didn’t. It was not a good decision with regard to future proofing, I would not have been too happy either had I bought a 272, but water under the bridge, they learned their lesson.
Hi All,
Regarding Naim’s product upgrade policy. We are one of the few manufacturers who support their high tech products well outside of the mandatory warrant period. We don’t have a forced obsolescence policy, but rather the natural decline of what can be done on a give technology platform more dictates where we implement new functionality to ensure our products are competitive.
Naim develop product platforms which means when we update 1 product, we inherently update all the others in th…
Hi @Netsrot ,
I can’t talk for other manufacturers on what they consider as acceptable on streaming stability, but for Naim the eDMP3 is not really suitable for handling internet network streams above 1Mbit/sec with a network link that may have typical consumer internet latency on it. Tidal was pretty much pushing the bounds for eDMP3 and as you will see from this forum, various customers suffered from intermittent dropout issues due to it being sensitive to internet network latency from the …
