Nac 282 + Nap 300dr

What (& how big) is the difference between 282 and 252?

What is the difference between the 282 and 252? I’m talking in components/construction/features. Obviously sound as well however I am conscious that sound differences usually manifest in different ways to different people so that is a more personal experience. Nevertheless your opinions on sound would be appreciated as well.

Don’t recall the summary, but a thread about it, with pictures

Richard’s post is good

If you look closely (hard to see from above) you’ll see that while they look superficially similar, the NAC282 is mostly on one large board, whereas on the NAC252 the boards are split. Layout is slightly different, obviously more wiring on the 252 as there are many more supplies from the Burndy connection. Componentry even more rigorously selected in places. This photo of a show unit gives you a better perspective although you can’t see underneath the central board; [image]
