Hey I am thinking of playing around with my system and I thought I would ask this question as I can’t see it specifically asked before. It may be in a comment somewhere.
It’s seeming super opaque as to what the general opinion is on this and yes I should 100% go test myself. I am just looking for any experience out there…
I have an NDX2, NAC282, 2 HiCaps, Nap300 as my current config. playing out of 803 D4s via Chord Sarum T.
I would look for a recent second-hand XPS if you intend to stick with a Classic System. If you are intending to slowly upgrade to a New Classic system then I would suggest the 333 would be a better choice longer term. Sonically, I think an NDX2 with the XPS would sound better than a 333 without an NPX300.
I run the exact same system and have just purchased an XPS-2 DR for my NDX2 and it sounds amazing.
I have heard the NSS333, but only in a NC300 system. It sounded both superb and different.
However, I prefer the sound of my system.
