Naim Mu-so 2nd Gen Family Gets Qobuz Integration Update
Naim Audio today has announced native Qobuz support for its Mu-so 2nd Generation family of wireless speakers.
Naim's Mu-so 2nd Generation which includes the compact Mu-so Qb, as well as the Applause Award-winning Mu-so all-in-one, will see seamless Qobuz integration land by way of a free over-the-air firmware upgrade. This will hand the units true high-resolution music streaming - from within the Naim control app. The update will be rolled out to all Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation units from today, Monday 15th June, with Mu-so 2nd Generation users being able to update from Wednesday 17th June.
Qobuz tells us that it offers the most comprehensive CD-quality music catalogue currently available and the largest selection of albums in true high-resolution studio quality. Its streaming service is now available in 12 countries, including the US, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
This latest update means high-resolution Qobuz music streaming is natively available across Naim's full range of latest-generation streaming products; the Uniti Atom, Star and Nova systems, plus ND5 XS2, NDX 2 and ND 555 network players received an update back in February.
Naturally, to enjoy Qobuz streaming services, you will need a Qobuz subscription. If you want to try before you commit, 30-day free trials are available via a link in the Naim control app, which is available for iOS and Android devices.
Charlie Henderson, Naim Managing Director, told StereoNET:
It's great to release another free update to our music-streaming family. Naim owners can now seamlessly stream Qobuz's high-resolution music offering to any or all of a wide range of products, from our entry-level Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation right through to our flagship ND 555 network player.
David Solomon, Chief Hi-Res Music Evangelist at Qobuz, adds:
For decades, Naim has represented the best of high-resolution playback, making them a perfect partner for Qobuz Hi-Res download and streaming service. Both companies strive for world-class sound quality, and both go the extra mile to ensure that no detail is absent from the music you love. The Mu-so 2nd Generation family certainly represent the very best desktop players available, not only with numbers but with real high-end sound quality. The Mu-so range is capable of astonishing performance and can resolve Qobuz 24/192 music files and rival many full-blown systems.
