Hi All,
First post so please forgive…
I’ve had various Naim products going back to a Supernait in 2007, followed by cdx2,
Hicap, and another power supply which i think was for the CDx2 all outputted via Chord cables to Focal Micro utopias BE standmount speakers. For various reasons this was downsized to a Unitlite into the Focal Micro Utopias in search of streaming hi res nirvana.
Now back with a Supernait 3 and ND5 XS2 and having read as many reviews and forums I was expecting that I would need a further dac and various camera adaptors to get Apple Hi res into the ND5 XS2. (I also have an Opportunity 105, which said camera adaptors aided in Usb connection but would not pass higher than 24/48 to the ND5 xs2 via coaxial.)
What I have found today is that by simply connecting my iPhone directly via lightning to USB on the front of the ND5 XS2 I can now play all apple music in Lossless and High res lossless including those in 96khz and 192khz.
I presume this is also true for the NDX2.
Long story short my experience seems to go against everything I have read.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Best regards,
Richard W
