Unhappy with the new NAIM update

Is this darn thing still in beta? What a circus.

Yes.

No new official release as yet.

Sadly I think all firmware changes may be incredibly system or streamer dependent.

Given the fact that a new feature is introduced my best guess is that it still could take a couple of weeks.

…the listener and their subjective assessment iis part of the system too I guess.

This is the thing fundamentally wrong with this charade. Being able to make it better as we hope and then again adding a new feature and confusing the process. I just want to get it fixed now now now…… and if it does what I hope it does I will refrain from upgrading further, unless people are massively positive….

Well, I think the majority of people affected will agree with you.

Other people may see it differently. If Naim has contractual obligations for example, the people at Naim will rightfully argue that they have no choice. And users of Audirvāna for example might cheer for the Plays with Audirvāna certification… Same goes for Qobuz Connect… Or even an EQ.

Mind you, I don’t know which feature is being tested, but I think it is fair to say that not everyone has the same reference. Which doesn’t mean I don’t understand where you are coming from.

ā€œand so say all of usā€

Features maybe the easier part D

I find it very very strange if they 7 months later come with an update that is correcting a flaw in the audio presentation given that this should be top priority in a high end music equipment manufacturer. We’ll see.

You maybe right, but what’s easy or difficult is also not my part. It’s time to deliver … :wink:

Yes - strange it was from day one. What if… they know all the time and had not found a solution till now… only one other guess.

Let’s hope for an Easter Egg! Not as a joke from the developers, but as a gift for those affected.

Indeed… :slightly_smiling_face:

@Darkebear Funny - just thought about you!
Hope you had the chance to give a valid input during beta (no answer please).
I am very happy that you are part of the beta team :relieved_face:. My email asking for participation in beta went into nirvana - technical reasons! I never wrote again… why should… :roll_eyes:

Indeed! :bear:

No joke - really did! :blush:

If not delivered soon, I recommend a pilgrimage to the Lourdes Grotto.
I see easily Cohen, DB, Big Dan, Bert Bird, Stavrose….carrying in their hands their Nd555 and waiting to enter in the Grotto. Please, revert it to 3.8 :innocent:
