New to streaming question

Hi Mike,

I don't think you need Chromecast in the chain. Your Naim Uniti Atom should stream directly from your ethernet connection, not through Chromecast. Here's what it says on the Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition page from Naim's website:

 Easy App control – in one room or many
The Naim App – available for Apple and Android devices – makes it simple to control your Uniti Atom Headphone Edition, and even link up other music systems around your home into a stunning multi-room set-up.

Use the App to access all your music, including your favorite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, and explore artist discographies and biographies.

Uniti Atom Headphone Edition works seamlessly with other Naim streaming products, including Mu-so systems. Choose the same song in beat-perfect sync or play different music in different rooms. You can also pair Uniti Atom Headphone Edition with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app, or with other Chromecast built-in devices via the Google Home app.

I was thinking it was Chromecast.  I've been using the Quboz app on my phone and streaming via Chromecast because Quboz native through the Naim app won't let you search any artists, it only lets you search through your favorites which is really clunky.  

Disregard, there is a search function almost hidden away in the Naim app where you can search artists through Quboz or Tidal.  I'm an idiot.  Thanks everyone for the help!

No, you’re not at all. I think there are a lot of idiot app developers who for some unknown reason hide frequently-used functions in absurd and unintuitive places making them hard to find. Revenge of the nerds!!!

streaming definitely has a learning curve, hardware and software sides both... but it is worth the payoff... lovely sound, super enjoyable... each sitting can be comfort food or a vast journey of discovery...
