CD 555ps DR vs 555ps DR

[mathiourose]

Hi,

Im looking to upgrade from XPS dr to 555 for my NDX2 - but I am not finding consistent information as to whether the CD 555ps DR is the same as 555ps DR.

May seem a dumb question, however, what I find online is not helpful.

Thanks

All one and the same.

Was originally certified as “CD 555PS” and so changing name might have caused issues. It became a more general purpose PSU than just for CD players.

Of course it doesn’t help that the new naim website calls it the “NAPS 555 DR”

555PS DR
CD 555PS DR
NAPS 555 DR

Take your pick.

Here’s the back of the current model from naim website:

Thanks a lot - I found a good used ND 555 and 555ps to replace my NDX2 and XPS DR. So thought this was a decent upgrade as I can trade in.

The PS is DR, yes?

Should be a great upgrade

There are some variants of the CD 555PS DR,

Classic - which has the rough coated top and sides.

Reference - which has the smooth anodised top and sides to match the front. I have this variant with green logo.

I understand these have been also been offered with a choice of green or white logos

The 555ps is a dr version.

Thanks to everyone for the input.

I may put on hold as currently in process of upgrading speakers from Kudos C2 (I have had a long time while I upgraded source and power supplies) to PMC Prophecy 9.

Will wait for these to settle in then decide.

Best

To be honest I think I’d go ND/PS before anything else, especially if it’s a good deal as they just don’t seem to come up that often. With the FW mostly fixed it is a remarkable piece of equipment when settled. It can get very close, if not better than some good analogue equipment.
