Qobuz support for Naim Audio devices is now available for owners of Uniti Atom, Star and Nova systems, plus ND5 XS2, NDX 2 and ND 555 network players. The update is enabled via a free over-the-air firmware upgrade which will allow users to enjoy seamless access to Qobuz streaming services – including true high-resolution streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz quality from within the Naim control app.
Updates for Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation and Naim Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation wireless speakers will follow in Spring 2020 (in the meantime, owners of the speakers can enjoy Qobuz in up to 24bit/96kHz quality via Chromecast).
Charlie Henderson, Naim Managing Director, said, “With our mutual dedication to offering the very best-quality, most authentic musical experience, a closer partnership with Qobuz was an obvious way to extend the music-streaming options for Naim users. We’re excited about rolling out this update this month.”
To enjoy Qobuz streaming services Naim users will need a Qobuz subscription. 30-day free trials are available via a link in the Naim control app, which is available for iOS and Android devices.
Qobuz offers a comprehensive CD Quality music catalogue currently available and a large selection of albums in HiRes studio quality. Its streaming services are currently available in 12 countries, including the US, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
