Better cable for my NDX2

Hi-Fi Corner

I am currently using Chord EpicX cables between my SN3 and my NDX2. I stream about 85%. Maybe more. Would I benefit from better Chord cable to the streamer? If so, what level? I have the XPSDr power supply as well.

Have you tried the one that came free in the box?

No, your current cable or the supplied lavender are great.

Pour a drink of whatever and enjoy your lovely system as it is.

I have the Signature tuned array that I enjoy.

Ask your dealer if you can try some different ones to try.

Are you using DIN to DIN or RCA? You used the word ā€˜cablesā€™ (plural).

You always want to be 5-pin DIN at both ends when connecting a Naim source and Naim Preamp/Integrated.

Iā€™d say that the EpicX or Lavender are about right for the NDX2/ SN3.
Have you got / tried Powerlines on your Naim components? Might be a way to upgrade without the need for more shelf space. Iā€™m assuming you would only need two ( One for the XPS and one for the HiCap. ) at used prices they may be worth a try and you can probably sell on at minimal loss if you find they donā€™t work for you.

I am using Isotek power cables. I could upgrade in their current line.

By far the biggest gain in cables Iā€™ve seen has been upgrading to the Powerline. Everything else was secondary to that.

In your case I would save up for a 555PS DR. I found this a much bigger update than the XPS was when I upgraded. The cost difference on eBay is around Ā£2k

Agree 555 over xps every day.

Witch hat Morganna 5 pin din interconnect. Or try TPā€™s version at about Ā£100 on their site. A lot appear to like his cables especially at his prices.

Started with lavender, then moved to hiline before landing at Sarum tuned array. Each one provided a step up in all the things I like.

I want from std Nain interconnect to an Ex demo Sarum Tuned Aray 2 RCA to - 5 DIN between my 282 and NDX2 at a very attractive price.
I experienced a just transformational SQ lift as the interconnect ā€œburned inā€ over a 4-6 week period.

Worth looking at AV Options cables too - the SIGNAL DIN5-5. Hand built by Chris West and team.
