Major update for HDX

Naim Audio has released new software – version 1.5 – for the HDX hard disk player, that usefully extends the machine's capabilities.

Version 1.5 brings a major improvement in convenience with rip to NAS and far more flexible networking. Shares are scanned or ignored by selection thus reducing scanning time and improving speed of music availability. This part of the update alone will bring massive benefits to many customers who have large collections of music waiting further ripping.

The addition of a highly specified UPnP server adds huge flexibility as it makes all the HDX active shares available to networked UPnP players — for example, the award-winning NaimUniti and recently launched UnitiQute — with the additional flexibility of: native format; converted to .wav or sampled to 16Bit 44.1kHz depending on the requirements of the UPnP player concerned.

Updates will be available only through authorised Naim Audio retailers.
