As pcd points out, I don’t think you can do that with a NAC52.
If you already have a 555PS and Burndy for your CDS3 then you could disconnect that from the CDS3 and try it on the NDX2.
And as others have said, don’t stick a mains lead into the ndx2 at the same time as it is being powered by an external psu. It don’t like it.
The volume thing on the ndx2 works in a similar way to the Cambridge. It just turns down the analogue output to the din or RCAs.
Before trying the 555PS out on the NDX2, power down the 555PS unit first, and the NDX2…then re-power up the 555PS after moving the Burndy from CDS3 to the NDX2…
Have a good Sunday

This what I thought Richard, that I could use the CDS 3 burndy cable, but someone said that it wouldn’t work because it’s wired differently.
The Cambridge CNX V2 did alter the volume through the RCA’s but you can switch that off. It works the volume on the 52 on its own just like a naim remote.
The CDS3 uses the S-XPS Burndy, which is also what you would use with the NDX2 when powering from a 555PS or XPS2/DR

What, the Cxnv2 rotates the 52’s volume pot?
Well this good news, because I think I will be using the NDX 2 more than the CDS3 for the foreseeable future.
That is correct.
Blimy. Not sure how it does that but great. I had a cxnv2, and it was a great player. Regular updates.
Maybe it uses a suitable RC5 codeset for the volume control.
Must be. And doesn’t need a 3.5mm plugged lead to make the 52 work.
Had ? Did you sell it ? I bought the CNX V2 a week ago, then I bought NDX2 a few days ago because I just couldn’t resist. I can return the CNX V2 back to Richer sounds within the 14 day period, but I think I’ll keep it and use on my system in the bedroom with the 72/hicap/140 and B&W 606. And I haven’t had time to listen and try it out yet because I’m still with the NDX2.
Sell it yes. For more than I paid new! During lk1 it made me good money! Funding an nd5xs2, then ndx2.
I was tempted because it was on offer of a £100 discount for one day only.
They are good. Bought mine as an introduction to streaming. See if it was going to be for me or not.
I wonder if anyone could tell me what the maximum hard drive you can go up to on the NDX2…1 TB 2TB etc ? And does it read slower the higher Gig you go ?
So 2TB is more than enough for that number of tracks.
The database creation (in server mode) will take a short while, but after that you shouldnt notice any pauses while the unit is trying to locate tracks.
