Naim Audio Ltd – New app available now, new firmware coming soon

Finding your favorites even faster and easier is the focus of the new version of the Naim App for Apple iOS and Google Android which is available now. In addition, the English company is announcing a new firmware for their current generation streaming systems, which will also focus on managing your own content.


Now it should be even easier and faster to access your own favourite music, whether it is stored in your own media library in the network or via various streaming offers. This is the promise of the English high-end hi-fi manufacturer Naim Audio Ltd. on the occasion of the availability of the latest app for Apple iOS and Google Android.

The Naim app for the latest generation of Naim Streaming products will feature two key features, the new Favourites Browser and the new Home Screen Favourites. Both are designed to make navigation to favourite content even quicker and more intuitive than before. A new firmware will soon be available that will allow preset options to be called up not only via the app’s new Home Screen Favourites, but also directly via the controls of the devices themselves.

As already described, the Favourites management covers all available content, whether in the local network or online services. However, this is a purely app-based function, meaning that the favorites created are all managed by the app alone.

The situation is different with the preset options, which the new firmware will soon bring with it. These are stored in the memory of the systems and can therefore be called up directly without the app.

For the Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation and Naim Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation systems, five Presets can be created to access favourite Internet radio stations and Spotify Playlists.

With the Naim Uniti Atom Naim Uniti Star, Naim Uniti Nova, Naim ND5 XS2, Naim NDX 2 and Naim ND555 solutions, any number of Presets can be created to access Internet Radio, Spotify, Qobuz and TIDAL playlists, albums and even individual tracks.

Presets can be accessed directly from the devices, but it is better to edit and arrange your own presets directly in the Naim app.

Other new features of the Naim App include an extended Global Search function that now includes content stored on a Naim Uniti Core Music Server. In addition, a number of bugs have been fixed and details have been improved.

The Naim App can be used with all current Naim Audio Ltd. streaming systems, including the Naim Uniti Atom, Naim Uniti Star, Naim Uniti Nova, Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation and Naim Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation, as well as the Naim ND5 XS2, Naim NDX 2 and Naim ND555 solutions.

For Apple iOS, the current version of the Naim App 5.17 is available. For Google Android, Naim App 2.17 is now available.
