Hi Jay, what I mean is the total of Primare NP5 mkII, AQ Cinammon (RCA to BNC) and the Ifi Power Elite, performs better (my ears) than the original streaming unit of the 272. I still use the 272 dac and preamp.
Performance in terms of: highres possibility, no dropouts, more depth and detail in sound, a better definition and no significant loss of PRaT. I still listen to a Naim so to say.
