Being the fortunate owner of one ND5XS - from 2012 streamer version updated to 4.8.00
using the NAIM FOCAL APP
Is the tidal max AT 24-192 available through my device Tidal connect without any other update Thanks for your your reply
Sorry it won’t be natively supported.
However you can add an external device eg the very popular lindemann limetree network bridge to feed the nd5xs via digital input.
As well as tidal connect, this also gives you access to deezer, qobuz, and it’s roon ready.
Thanks for your advice Robert … In my case which one would you advise the network II or bridge II since the Nd5xs has a rather good DAC unless the limetree network II DAC is better thanks beforehand
Network II is a self contained streamer/DAC. No digital out. It’s damn good actually. I have the original Network with AKM, rather than ESS.
Naim put a lot of effort into getting the most out of their preferred dac chip, so I’d favour the bridge over the other one; so limetree digital out into the back of the nd5’.
Just realised I had named 2 separate devices in my original post, the network and the bridge are different devices. I meant the bridge.
