I wonder, why did you prefer it without the NPX300? I’m pretty curious as a couple of days ago I managed to hear the NSS333 with and without the additional PSU in a very familiar setup.

Some dont like hearing things more clearly, the slightly more dirtier sound, is sometimes what some prefer.
Bit like the non dr V dr.

I suspected so, but I wanted to understand if there was more to it. Personally I prefer the cleaner sound with the NPX300, the soundstage is better, clearer and wider to my ears. However the NSS333 alone sounds pretty well nonetheless.

I today put Neet-1008 on NSS333 and it is dramatically more transparent than Chord c-stream.

I’ll be interested to see how you get on with it. I’m finding so good with the Cisco that I might award it ā€˜buy of the year’.

The 555 really is special and transforms the component it’s attached to. I don’t have direct comparison to a 300PX but I know people who have and all preferred the 555. I’ll be surprised if you don’t prefer it. The 555 is the only OC component I’ve owned or demoed that I hands down love.

Thanks for the reply @Blackbird.

Is there any hint of harshness with this new cable? After all that happened with the firmware update, I cannot think of that. By the way I also use a C-Stream.

Good call. I think the 555PSDR will work well with your new streamer. Cables are rare and ordered up so unlikely to be sale and return.

I think some other guys on here are using 555PSDR on 300 and 200 series kit with great success. New meets old as they say!

Excellent, that’s the kind of upgrade I would hope to get with a better ethernet cable, hopefully without that harshness. So far I can’t complain about the little C-Stream in the system but I perfectly know it might be a weak point in my chain, I’ll need to explore new possibilities at some point.

I have a copper NEET 3008 on the 272 right now and it sounds great. A 1008 is incoming this week.

Can you give me a brief rundown of what you’ve changed. Amps as well?

Not been on the forum for a while so out of touch

Was that through the 50? I think I’d have gone to 332 level before evaluating the worth of an NPX300 on the 333.
