NaimNet Music Server Technology

The NaimNet series of Music Servers all feature a novel internal architecture to deliver not only outstanding sound quality without any of the performance compromise associated with conventional server solutions, but also facilitate simple and intuitive music selection with a unique combination of informative and simple user interfaces.

Naim Extended Music Database

Easily select music by artist, composer, song, conductor, movement etc. Ideal for collections of popular, jazz, or classical music. Simple intuitive search functions on all interfaces make finding individual pieces simple.

Audiophile Sound Quality

Reading from Compact Disc to the internal hard drive is bit-perfect with multiple scans of the CD to ensure absolute data integrity. Replay from Hard Disk, whether as a Stream into NaimNet or DigiLinX room amplifiers or local playback on the Server, is again fully bit-perfect.

Audio handling within the Server is designed by Naim to offer the highest fidelity and has an architecture which is fully bit perfect and accepts digital formats up to unpacked fixed/float 32bit 96kHz.

Playback is exactly as the original CD, which might be without any gaps for continuous recordings.

Naim Digital Music Dock

Portable mp3 music players connected to the convenient front panel USB socket populate the selection database and can be played locally as a digital transfer with much higher fidelity than an analogue connection. Multiple streams can be output from a single player into NaimNet room amplifiers, which also control the portable player music selection. The Database and control menus populate with metadata from the temporary portable device as a single integrated database.

Naim Network Scanning

Music files stored on other computers, PC or Mac, on the network automatically populates the music selection database and can be played locally or remotely via NaimNet.

Naim Network Storage

Unlimited additional music storage and backup is possible using network NAS storage. A simple Installer set-up tool is provided. (Not available at launch - will be offered as a no cost upgrade to existing users)

Naim Secure Music Storage

All data on the internal 400GB hard drive is automatically copied onto a second internal drive as a secure backup. In the event of a single HDD failure service procedures allow for the recovery of the complete music library.

Choice of User Interfaces

• NaimNet User Interface

  Independent music selection and control of up to 6 streams is provided by the standard NaimNet interface. Quick and responsive, a host of advanced search functions are supported with display of album art.

• TV Interface

  Clear and responsive, the TV interface can be displayed within a home cinema, or on a VGA touch screen and controlled by the supplied IR handset or by a mouse, keyboard, or touch screen.

• Web Interface

  A web-based version of the TV interface is available simply by browsing to the IP address of the Music Server.

• PC Client Interface

  A very informative interface available on any Networked PC (not Mac at present). This uses an explorer type of presentation to display the database contents, as well as playable music on other machines or PCs on the same network. This interface can be used to modify or overwrite database album or track details and create playlists, and is available independent of whatever the Music Server is currently playing. This interface exposes the full detail of the music database at an album or track level.
