vTuner's shutdown impacted internet radio access for pre-2017 NAIM models.
NAIM released a firmware update introducing their own internet radio service.
Update offers more channels, enriched metadata, and improved audio quality.
Since February 1, many NAIM users with older devices might have found themselves without access to internet radio. The culprit? vTuner, the aggregator that provides internet radio stream links, has ceased its services for several brands, including NAIM. This unexpected shutdown has impacted a range of NAIM models produced before 2017:
For those who hold onto their classic NAIM gear, this could have been a significant setback. However, NAIM has stepped up to the plate. Demonstrating a commitment to long-term product support, they've released a firmware update that transitions affected devices to .
The update brings more than just restored functionality. There's a wider selection of channels to explore, enriched metadata, and enhanced audio quality on many stations. For instance, popular stations like NPO are now available in high-resolution streaming. This not only revives the listening experience but elevates it beyond what was previously available.
Applying the update is straightforward for devices with the green OLED screens. Once updated, these models regain their internet radio capabilities and can continue to deliver the high-fidelity sound that NAIM is known for.
It's reassuring to see a manufacturer take such proactive measures to support their legacy products. In an age where tech tends to move on quickly, keeping older devices alive and kicking is a move that surely resonates with many in the audiophile community.
