Core Intelligent (Uniti) - Software/Hardware version 102, perhaps?
Youād imagine there would be decent future volumes in a new integrated amp (fancy volume control, optical system automation, NPX 300 compatible, XLR inputs/outputs) and modestly priced streamer (self powered only, screen less, NC casing, XLR etc), hence my candid suggestions in Post No.1
My guidance here being what wasnāt made End of Life from the Classic range, including the SN3, NDX2 and the XS and 5 Series products, none of which I imagine theyāre manufacturing new in significant quantities and probably relying mainly on existing dealer network demo/stock inventory.
I also checked my dealers demo stock sale page today and itās chock a block with 500 Series and even an ex demo statement system, may be coincidence but itās kit they tend to not refresh frequently as a rule.
1 - Makes sense, although the SuperNova suggestion above might have legs as well
2 - I canāt see them making lower tier preamps, Iād wonder what/how youād cost down a NAC 332?
3 - You already have the NPX TT which could fill that gap (Type 1 + 2) at Ā£2699
4 - Tough one, thereās a place for something like this, I question the true volume/demand though, and the need to keep the ranging simple and with a more consolidated supply chain, Iād expect this price point would be best served by something like an Atom, namely more integrated feature set.
I reckon on NAIT 200 if anything, youād imagine also that something like that would be relatively easy to align against other New Classic products (NSC 222 and NAP 250 in particular), from a components and manufacturing perspective.
I really donāt see it - I think the 200 and 300 series are fully baked. I think thereās an open question on how the uniti perhaps evolves into a 100 series and the big question regarding where the supernait sits. There really needs to be a higher level integrated though.
I hear you sir, thereās pent up demand as you highlight, Iāve certainly no more insight than the rest of us, but interesting to see where the āhot spotsā are amongst us, a decent spec integrated and ncDAC seem to be popular at least!
