NDX 2: Volume adjustment with the RC / How to set the clock to 24h? Backlight too bride

Hello,

I have sold my NDX and bought a NDX 2.
There are some things I really miss already: a proper owners manual and the remote control.
The RC from the NDX is IMHO nicer in my hand and easier to use.

With the RC from NDX i was able to control my 282 (from 2022), with the RC from the NDX 2 this is not possible.
I think this is a step in the wrong direction.
What I already found here in the forum is that an additional 3,5mm jack lead to RCA is necessary.
Due to the non existing owners manual and the incomplete info here:

it is necessary to be active here. And I know a lot of Germans who do not speak any English.
This is not really naim-like.

Why has the NDX2 a different connection as the 282 has? Does not make any sense to me.
Do not understand why this has been made so complicate, it was so easy before.

Another issues:

  • Is it possible to switch the clock from 12h to 24h mode? Here in Germany we are using the 24h setting, if possible.
  • The backlight seems to me too bride. I saw this also on several pictures. Black ist not really black. Can this be adjusted?

Regards

You can get the necessary cable for about £4, so it’s hardly a big deal. In the time taken to grumble about it, you could have ordered one.

Unfortunately you cannot set the clock to a 24h display, and nor can you adjust the screen brightness. You can adjust the brightness of the buttons.

Hopefully the much improved SQ more than makes up for these minor irritations.

I agree that Naim have not helped by producing inferior manuals compared to the older models.

The new remotes are horrible on my opinion. I don’t even take them out of the box. The 2nd gen streamers work quite differently to the older models, so the remote cannot do many of the things the old ones did, including control of Tidal, Qobuz and UPnP. Think of the Naim app as your remote, it does virtually everything.

If you search the topic, “I would like a Naim app that” I posted the instructions on how to change the display brightness.
