With this post I am 5th, at the end of season 2 of Homeland, and off to bed.

No doubt JimDog will be back on bright and early to relegate me to 6th.

Night, night.

In the concept of pre/streamer I like very much less boxes. There are three key elements which are important: SQ, reliability and life cicle. And if with SQ we have proven success with other two there still some question.

I know, that’s what I don’t want to do

What about the thought that Naim is working not only on a 272-2 but on a ‘revamp’ or whole new generation of pre-amps, including streaming capabilities?

The power amp range has had the DR upgrade some years back, but the preamps have been untouched as far as I know.

Furthermore, look at what other companies do … Linn as an example doesn’t have separate streamers and preamps anymore, right?

Think I’ve raised that a few times already. All their pre amps need updating.

Blimey. I go to sleep and it goes mad. The pre-amps are fine.

Benchmarking is a powerful tool, but should not be used blindly, otherwise there is a risk always be a second one.

They could use an extra row of inputs :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: and a volume knob that will go past 10 o’clock :roll_eyes:

Maybe I’ve formulated this wrong but there is nothing wrong with thinking outside the well-known (Naim) paths, isn’t it?

And get rid of the bank of record buttons, who records anything these days. Also there’s now no headphone amp, so you need to purchase one from a another manufacturer, not very good business model.
