When it comes to Uniti Nova, you can now choose class A/B or class D according to need, liking and taste. Nothing wrong with that imo. Otherwise, I cant see that Naim will switch to class D in the Classic range, and beyond that, simply because class A/B sounds better according to Naim.
A guy here replaced 552/500 dr with the top Aavik integrated, using class D amps. He said the sound is more effortless and refined.
Can’t verify it.
Risk? Why is it risky? That suggests negative conviction, not a recognition that Naim would only make one if sound quality met their requirements.
Sigh… Whatever IB…
I have listened to it Rooster. So boring that the clocks stopped - Gotland saying
Primare don’t use Purifi in the I35; they use their own UFDP2 modules.
They do use Hypex NCore on their multi channel power amp.
Good to have another point of view on it
Regardless, I note you changed your post. The question re Naim converting fully or primarily to Class D including its highest quality amps surely depends on whether/when their development team produces a design that matches or beats the sound quality of its class A/B products. It may happen in the near future, or might never happen.
Amazing…this thread is still going!
The question/doubt proposed has a VERY simple resolution. Have a listen ( a non-biased one).
Anyone on this forum bought one yet?
Yes, see this thread about adding a TT to one
I had it (280) on demo a few times but never bought it, I realised I wanted to like it more than I actually did
My brain sucks.
I read an interview with the designer and, like others, they did a lot of work to improve the modules they used. And on top of that they filled the amps with various wonder-stuff from their sister-company Ansuz. The 280 reduce th grayness almost completely, but after a few evenings you heard it.
The guy had some interesting views on balanced connections I never could verify. The Aaviks I tried were all single-ended.
Found it. It was Michael Børresen talking about HF-noise being worse in balanced cables.
This review is very encouraging.
I have a very solid system, NC222 with 555PsDR and NAP300DR. Very happy with it, but eventually I’m looking at downsizing as not a fan of 4 boxes, spaghetti cables at the back of the Fraim, etc. Especially in a small space (Hong Kong here). I should give the Nova PE a listen. Or maybe Linn Selekt.
