Tone controls ,for those of us with real world (lopsided rooms). One speaker in the corner and one in free space:) My first amplifier a Kenwood ka-2500 even had separate bass and treble for each channel.

Always been available
in Naim active systems,started with Naxo in the Seventies became the Snaxo.
A new version of the Snaxo would be nice 
I’d like to see:
A standalone DAC
An NDX2 without a screen
An ND5 XS2 that can be upgraded with an external power supply
Speakers similar to IBLs in form factor

Absolutely nothing. I’m broke. They can release or not release whatever they want because I am basically skint.
But on a more ponderous note, one could ask, why wish for anything for something that already exists in abundance? For example, there are in fact a lot of shoebox separates out there. Is the Naim badge really the most important thing? If you want a brilliant (and brand new) shoebox system, I can think of four others without even trying.

I saw the nait 50 at one dealer a stock of total 5 pcs from last few months and still they have 4 in stock, I also think it is not moving as was intended.

Same same.

Seems like somebody on the production line has picked up the duff roll of double-sided again…!

IIRC the target was to have all 1973 sold by the latter part of 2024. It was recently mentioned to me that the factory had only a couple of hundred left, so I reckon they’re on course. Selling 1973 units of a specialist piece of hifi at this level in such a short space of time is impressive - something any high end hifi company would give their right arm to achieve right now.

Hoping that a super integrated (SuperSupernait?!?) or simply the successor to SN3 will break cover in 2024.

Like, say, the DAC V1?

All I want from Naim next year is that it thrives.

Agreed. I too remember the Nait tout court, had one for some time.
I wonder if this wave of approval for the release of the Nait 50 is plain love for the CB looks or a general nostalgia for a ‘more desirable’ past given the s**t times in which we are living and some fear about the direction Naim seems to be taking.
Well yes but the V1 was a pre as well.
Exactly it’s a niche industry always has been.

And a good Headphone Amp.

In terms of prediction rather than want, something more in the Statement line, or Statement V2, would make some sense as it is the rich who seem to be getting richer while others feel the pinch, so marketing to them may keep important profits flowing.

A few thoughts for a 2024 wish list…
-
A 500 series modular Streamer DAC line, where the unit itself can either be user or dealer updated on a regular basis as technology advances.
-
A New Classic 100 Series, shoe box format to reduce the raw material cost, with perhaps an emphasis on separates, consisting of streamer/DAC and integrated amp based on the NAIT 50th tech.
-
A stand alone 200 series streamer, that replaces the NDX2 and ND5 XS2.
-
An optional Original Classic upgrade programme - during a service the customer is given the choice to have the Naim green logo & button lights swapped out at cost for the New Classic white LED lights, just to bring the units up to date visually. If it can be done for the 500 series…
-
A revision to the 2 and 5 year warranty terms. It is currently a little ambiguous to customers and some dealers (from my recent enquiries) as to whether ‘open box’ or ‘ex demo’ units can still have the full five year warranty applied to these products. A minimum five year no quibble return to base warranty on all new products, and then an optional further five year warranty if registered within six months - applicable to all new, ex-demo and open box items, especially as new unit prices are getting higher and higher. If Rega can excel at warranty based customer service…

Oh dear. I would have expected Naim to repair this for you rather than send you a bar to fit yourself.
