These are the only two cases I know of, so I’m sure you’ll be fine!

Although if you ask my dealer I am cursed, and if something can go wrong it will for me. LOL Hopefully, Fedex splitting the shipment is the “going wrong” for me on this order. 
Don’t worry, it normally runs in sets of three things going wrong… good luck.
Strangely true on my nd555…but probably just the balance of luck, like my wife doing the lottery😬

Same on my ND555 hopefully should be fully sorted now.

Was it a relay or another problem?
Traced to a DAC board fault, new one fitted all working fine and sounding spot on so hopefully no more visits to Salisbury.

Thats a new one, glad its fixed👍
Gazza, superb service from my dealer and Naim a loan NDX installed the day after the ND555 packed up. ND555 taken back to Salisbury repaired, tested and returned in eleven working days excellent service indeed.
Thats what i and you presumably you have bought into. Not sure what would happen with high end American and Japanese kit-in the same circumstances?
Maybe, and even probably, Japanese kits don’t leave factory with so many defaults as Naim components.
Every week I read someone talking about a problem of a new purchased naim component.
We all love Naim, but there’s a real problem in the production check.

Well, my PSU showed up, so now I have my brand new 300DR integrated. Stone cold and brand new. I’m playing Bill Frisell/Thomas Morgan “Epistrophy” 24/96 on Qobuz. Holy cow what a difference from the 250DR. This is a beast: night and day difference. That bass is so deep and true. I had to turn my subs’ gain down a couple clicks. My wife noticed how much better it sounds immediately.

Just you wait for a few more days. The 300DR is simply a wonderful amplifier, so much better than the 250DR.
That much is already obvious. I have no doubt it will flower over the next month. And I’ve only had my 252 for 10 days, so double treat. I have a PowerLine coming too. Will probably be for the SCDR but I’ll try it on the XPS DR first.

Makes me wanna upgrade mine 250 also. Should I do PSU first instead. Hard to decide.
Blimey. Not what I wanted to hear. I’m trying to resist an upgrade to 300dr from my 250dr
It’s not an upgrade. It’s a revelation.
Oh nooooooo… I wish I had not read this.
But at the same time pleased for you, it is a lot of money, double of 250DR, and hence should be a revelation.

In the U.S. a 250DR is $7K and 300DR is $15k. The substantial increase in price is justified from what my first impressions tell me. My wife is also really pleased with the better sounding music.

Is the fan in the back of 300DR possible to hear at all or dead silent?
