Does Naim or other, make a 4 Pin DIN to XLR adapter so I could use my redundant 4 Pin Snaic Din cable with my NAP 250DR.
I do have the thin stock 4 pin Din to XLR cable that came with the NAP 250DR. The Snaic 4 is a thicker better quality looking cable.
I know Chord do make other option 4 PIN DIN to XLR cables for the NAP 250DR, I would prefer to stick with Naim but be able to use the Snaic 4 PIN I once used with my Hicap and NAIT XS2.
I’d have thought it better to have one made, or ask someone to swap the end of your thicker one to suit.
Any adaptor would surely introduce additional contacts into the signal path.
Yes an adapter would not be ideal. I would have thought Naim could have made a DIN to XLR Snaic for the NAP 250.
Snaic leads carry power and signal. The lead that comes with the 250DR is just a signal lead.
If you want to replace the standard lead, Vertere sell the redline Din to XLR as do Chord and many others.
I do use Chord Epic Interconnects and speaker cable. I suppose I could try a Chord Epic DIN to XLR. Seems a waste of a good Snaic cable to not be able to repurpose it for use with my NAP 250
The stock DIN to XLR supplied with the NAP 250 does not look the same standard quality as the Snaic cables
You’re forgetting that there are more cores in a Snaic lead, both power and signal. If you were to strip a Snaic lead you will more than likely find the cores are the same as a Lavender lead.
Are you actually referring to a SNAIC or simply an interconnect. As others have mentioned, a SNAIC carries power and signal, a standard interconnect, only signal.
As you’re talking about connecting to your 250, I suspect it’s an audio interconnect?
I would also add, do not underestimate the sound quality of the standard Naim cables, even if they might look a little “thin”.
They look different because they serve a different purpose. The din to XLR that comes with the 250 is ideal for the task, so just use it and don’t worry. Size isn’t everything.
Agreed. I wouldn’t worry about the look.
However.
I have just installed an Epic RCA to 250 XLR between my Atom and 250 and it sounds brilliant.
There’s a DIN4-XLR for connecting to the NAP250. It would have come with the amp when new but can be purchased separately.
Yes I have the Stock cable that came with my NAP 250DR. I was comparing this cable to the SNAIC 4 pin DIN I previously used between my NAIT XS2 and HICAP and was underwhelmed with the look of the thinner DIN TO XLR cable.
I was looking for an adapter to reuse my now redundant SNAIC 4 PIN DIN with my NAP 250dr
But All does sound fantastic now with my NAC 282, Hcap dr and NAP 250DR.
I may try a Chord Epic Din to XLR just out of curiosity.
AND as hungryhalibut says——-
Just for clarity, a Lavender cable is used to connect sources to preamps, so called because it’s a lavender colour. The 4 pin Din to XLR is not a Lavender, nor is it a Snaic. It’s simply a Din to XLR interconnect.
Dont know why I typed that, now corrected 
As I already use Chord Epic RCA Interconnects from my qutest to the NAC 282 and Chord Epic X Speaker Cable and Chord Signature Digital Coaxial Cable.
I have decided to go full Chord Loom and Purchased both Chord Epic X Aray cables, from my NAC 282 TO Hicapdr and from Hicap DR to NAP 250dr.
