Fair enough 
Is it possible to switch the ps‘s or is the other one not nd555 compatible

In the test the ND555 has all the advantages. Also using Vodka ethernet. NDS is Blue Jeans Cable.

Yes they can be swapped. But not alot of difference between them.

I am being totally objective here. It shows how the mind can work ! I wanted ND555 to sound so much better. But that is not the case in this test so far.
Will try both with 2 PSUs. Unfortunately I don’t have 4 to run the test. Could buy a couple more. Lol

Oops… that not what I expected!
I never had an nds but got my nd555 for a good price.
Approx 3,5k more than nds. But always have looked for the nds …
Strange …
AFAI remember the nds is referred to have the more organic and smooth textured sound (analog?) and the nd555 with more micro details and punch
So ND555 has latest streaming platform. I previously overcame this by adding ND5XS2.
Also it looks nice. Nice remote too.

A few seconds ago I thought the same - at last it has a „nice remote“ 
Using the remote right now 
Please do the test with both ps swapping!

Brand new Naca5 installed so that is not burned in. Cable dressing could be better as well. But no significant sound differences!

I meant 2x psu on nd555 bs nds. More fiddle to do for that
This is not good to hear - especially since I’ve splashed out on a new ND555 too! (tho I do like the new streaming platform compared to NDS)

It’s early days for the test guys. Noticing a bit more detail on ND555.

Looks like it was a wise decision adding Lindemann Bridge II to NDS to make it compatible with latest streaming also improving on sound quality. I really like my NDS and much preferred it to NDX2 with 555PSDR on it.

Joking aside your findings aren’t too surprising. The ND555 comes into it’s own with the likes of HiRez Qobuz streams IMO

Prices on NDS just went up 30% 
Oh wait! That’s what he is planning!
