I have a music tool Alica. Italian stand well done
Lavenders are very good.
Use one on nd555 to 52. hiline in the box - Morgana on its way (pre-loved one) but still not sure, when to test, lavender is very nice!

Maybe see if you can borrow a 250.3 from your dealer. It adds much more speed, power, insight and verve vs the 250DR.

You can save yourself a lot of money by using a bit of DSP.
The easiest way to add some DSP is through Roon (there are various solutions to āupgradeā an NDS to Roon.
Roon then has a full suite of DSP settings and some parametric EQ will give you the added energy you need - when needed - doing any of the other things mentioned here will change your sound signature for all music whereas this will just allow you to tailor the music to your requirements. Itās silly to expect a system with no way of altering the tone to play 1950s classic Jazz and 1980s screechy pop and current 2020s rock pop and it all sound great.
Since Iāve stopped chasing the dragon and used Roon DSP Iāve been in an upgrade free span for the longest time since I bought my first Naim system.
I have a ful set of equalisation for every occasion!

Iām not sure if itās been mentioned yet, but swapping the HiCap for a SuperCap should lift the performance of the preamp significantly. A CD555PSDR on the NDS and a SuperCapDR on the 282 and youāll really be cooking on gas.

Definitely Ps555. It made a big difference to my system, same as yours otherwise. Also, donāt forget removing the grills from your speakers will also help.
You could consider moving to a 52 and a pair of 135sā¦ā¦ā¦What?..ā¦Ok yes Iāll get my coat.

Another way to go is look for supports for all komponents and rack. I started out with other racks, changed to Fraim, ended up with 2 stacks of Fraim last year. Over the years I have added Ansuzz darkx under everything speakers, racks and each single komponent. This gets exactly what you are after, but of course in a naim setup this is not a cheap solution, however it can be carried out over time if you believe in the the improvement.

+1 for 555 dr. Then audiophile switch.

Your electronics are not known for lacking on the medium-high frecuency range or for missing sparkle, I would work on room acoustics and/or try different loudspeakers, I doubt doubling down on naim will yield the results you are expecting.

Thanks, so let me explain a bit the room: 6x8 mt, listening zone is 4x3 mt, room high is 3.2, parquet, no carpet, curtains. I draw a map
Hi your setup is pretty good the 555ps and speaker cable will definately be extremely good options. But if memory serves well the PMC20.26 is quite smooth operatorā¦
This all day long, room acoustics or DSP.
A 555PS will not know you want to sparkle on some music whilst wanting other music to remain as it sounds at the moment.

After some times I have to say that lavender added a bit of more fun and life to the sound. Zero cost and nice improvement. Thanks
Also I took off some isolators I put under electronics, they are already on a good stand.
I will also search naca 5 and hopefully by Christmas 555ps

Thanks for the feedback, Iām pleased it helped. The best thing is that it was free! As youāve found, isolators can sometimes make things worse. A 555 would be a lovely improvement for your NDS, though unfortunately itās far from free.
