Looking good so far! Tested Roon, Internet Radio and TIDAL: starting, stopping, switching, etc. Can’t get it to break down or display going black. :+1:t2:

Updated Atom 3.3.0. Got fault code 138. Continued after mains out and back in.
Volume stopped working shortly after first go. Stopped responding completely after 1 minute of use.

Upgraded Nova. No issues here

Try a factory reset of the Atom , its on the website. Essentially you depower the atom, then replug and hold the Play/Pause/Input buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds…then it should reset itself. I would wait a while before retrying to install the new software…Perhaps later in the evening when there is less traffic on the Naim servers?

According to Naim R&D you should first try a power cycle to clear the fault.

However, if the fault persists, you should contact your dealer as the unit should be returned to service for repair (the cable usually just needs re-seating).

Yeessssssss! Thank you for implementing the play/pause in the hardware buttons! That will be so much better than continually changing sources when you just want to stop it for a few minutes and resume the same station rather than trawling back through the menus.

Useful but could you not just press mute?

Not really - my internet has limited bandwidth out in the sticks and if there’s a radio station playing silently then (for instance) watching YouTube for a dinner recipe or to show friends something, or even working with online documents really, really sucks. It’s OK at 128kbps but most of the stations I listen to regularly are 320kbps which is enough to take the edge off. Plus, there isn’t a mute button on the player so if you can’t lay hands on the remote and you’re trying to hear someone in another room it makes sense that you can just use the player buttons. It’s totally logical that internet radio behaves like any other digital medium, and you’d sure miss the ability to stop and start that if there wasn’t functionality, after all players besides Uniti have been able to do it for ever.

Bummer!

This is a nice excuse for a mid-week blow out! Y’know, just to test that it works :wink:

Has this altered the sq again. Last one gave me a huge bass bump

I don’t think it has however I wasn’t directly comparing with previous as I’d reverted to an older one which I liked. That probably doesn’t help but the firmware before yesterday’s was the best in a while sonically for me (almost on a par with a very old one).

I’m going to take a reading from Rew before and after for piece of mind.

I have problem with new update! 2 time cant change Tidal song, cant stop, noting. After restart continue same song. Only can hard restart, few second shold push power.
I already do hard restart and restarting app.

Unfortunately no, I still have the extra bass. The app seems more responsive and stable so far no issues. Was hoping for Qobuz intergration I hope Naim are still planning on adding this.

Shame was hoping it was reduced a little as it’s just too overblown to listen to without any DSP. Wasn’t like this before 3.2.

To confirm, this update is not for the legacy streamers (SU), right?

I have used the foam bungs which helps reduce the boom. Like you say previously I didn’t need too.

I tried bungs but took the life out of them, that’s why.i switched to using Roons DSP to help . Glad it’s not just me as was getting paranoid.
