Hi all,
This topic is ment to be about the use (and useability) of the Naim app (on IOS and Android) to control and manage your music-library, and play music through your Naim HW.
In order to not drawn the (my) questions/issues about the useability of Naim app (on IOS and in the comments around the (in my view excellent!) Naim streaming Hifi HW, I decided to open this new topic.
So its this topic is NOT about Roon - that takes away the matter of managing your library from the Naim app. In fact, if i understand it correctly, the Naim app is not required if you use your Naim HW as a Roon ready music device.
This topic is also NOT about sound quality when playing your music from different sources (ex Qobuz versus TIDAL versus UpNP for ripped or acquired disigital music files on disk).
As you will find, i have quite some issues with this app. But I have noticed (from previous discussions in streaming audio), that there seems to be quite a difference (in functionality and behaviour) between the app on IOS and on Android.
Also, there seems to be quite a difference of opinion on how good the Naim app is, depending on whether you see it as an app that allows you to “play your digital music” on your Naim HW (where YOU know where and how the music is stored), or whether you expect the Naim app to help you in “managing your digital music collection” over different sources (such as - in my case - a huge Qobuz collection and a smaller number of digital music files on a file server).
