The Grand Cafe

I was going to update it but I find the old Naim stuff isn’t (or wasn’t) that easy. I’m not connecting it to a pc so that bit perfect thing isn’t a big deal.

I love it, I can now listen to my music via my headphones :grin:

Think I would upgrade if needed.
Is it not on 1.16…? Surprised if not, considering it came out in 2015 and the V1 is ‘19/‘20 ….Lazy sods at the factory! :rofl:

Yeah, you have to put the firmware file into the library of a linked computer and ‘play it’ to update….so would require you to link a computer at least for a short while. Not a brilliant method….Don’t know if it can be done via a USB stick ?

What headphones do you have…?

You won’t believe this, but I happen to have……:wink::face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth::rofl:

Oppo MP2, I paid $1,000 for them 3 weeks later they announced they were getting out of hi fi stuff. Doh.

Now you can’t get any replacement cables or accessories.

Doh!

Yeah, I miss Oppo….I wanted to get one of their top end BD players…Kept putting it off for years until I got a decent AV room opportunity and then they pulled out the market and I missed them…:confused: See them on eBay etc from the US etc, stupid money now….

I get that …

I think that must really be what’s going on in their heads. Duh! …
Unfortunately, its not only Amaericans that think like that, I know some Canadians with the same ideas and reasons for owning guns.
At least here, the controls are strict, such as if someone breaks into your home and you shoot them, you would be charged with manslaughter, or the like, if they died. So peope are very wary of pulling out a firearm. Thank God …

Didn’t the elderly lady that sold it to you upgrade the Firmware? That’s pretty poor.

My 20117/18 NDS needs a software update and I’ll be taking it to the dealer to have it done. I gave it a go, but it didn’t take. I also wasn’t able to add an iradio station to that section, so they’ll be doing that as well.

Calm radio has over 500 starions to listen to (I only really need 450), and the SQ thru the NDS is superb and once its inserted into the NDS ituner, the SQ is even better because you membership is recognised.
The classical choices are excellent, but of course they have everything.

No she couldn’t even get it out of the box. :rofl:

The V1 is a late model and I’m not going to use with a pc so I don’t think an update is that necessary. Might do it later if I could be bothered.

This will only relate to Aussies but I’m going to see our solicitor this afternoon and his names Ray Martin you can only book him for 60 minutes at a time. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah, maybe next time you’re heading to you dealer, if you give him a heads up, he could probably do it while you wait. Otherwise it probably doesn’t matter unless you decide to move it on.
My NDS, on the ither hand, won’t connect to Tidal without the update.

The old is so difficult to update and as you’ve said it doesn’t always stick. Thankfully the new gear is so much easier

Gosh. Just catching up on that “other” thread. A major bust up over a few words and the manner in which a view is expressed.

Big love to everyone today (particularly @Dan_M) whether your problems are large small or pretty insignificant. As we all get older the likelihood is that all our problems will get bigger, but let’s all just try to be more considerate thoughtful people. Actually I don’t know why I am saying all this on the cafe thread, you all seem pretty chilled anyway.

Totally agree and yes we always try and stay calm here.

That’s because we’re in Oceania plus other non Blighty countries…as well as not bullying people about their systems to hide our own insecurities……! :wink::rofl: Downsizing my *** :roll_eyes:

Ironically enough, I looked back to the initial posts and origins of The Café – all thanks to @Pete_the_painter:+1:
