He already has system automation. @hollowmanor with system automation you can change the inputs either from the Naim app or with the NDX2 remote by pressing this button (repeatedly):
Hmm. I suspected that’s what you meant, but answered the question as written to save time.
In system automation, you’ll see the various preamp inputs. Disable those you don’t want to use. Rename those you want. You’ll see them in the app like this.
By system automation. I use it to switch to what I renamed from “Preamp 6” to “Phono” in the app (which is labeled AUX2 on the 252). Just repeatedly press the NDX2 remote’s input button until the required input cycles into view on the display (or the number of times you remember )
Edit: The input must be enabled in the app of course. And it follows the order that you set up in the app
Right, can see it now. I only use 2 inputs, CD ( renamed streamer) and aux 2 ( renamed TT).
Don’t tend to use ndx2 as my first remote device. Prefer nacon 4 from the 282 or app.
Yeah for sources that need manual interaction anyway, like phono or CD, it is not super helpful. But it works and if you have, say, a tuner connected it might be neat
