NDX vs NDX2?

[Blacknote]

This might be useful for you @c2photo , this is what @JonathanG said when he reviewed the NSS333 and compared it to the NDX and NDX2.

Ndx to Nds or Ndx2

For what it’s worth when I reviewed the NSS333 for Soundstage a while back the uplift from my NDX was absolutely gigantic - much more air, space and transparency to the sound. The gap was so wide I actually stopped unpacking the rest of the 300 system just to listen to it into my 82/250/HiCap ATC SCM40 system. It left me realising just how much streaming sound quality has improved in recent years and that was just comparing Tidal at 16/44 on both devices. The NDX runs a bit closer to the NDX2 if…

He basically concluded this:

I couldn’t afford the NSS333 though and so decided to make the move to NDX2 as the “next best option”. When I arrived I was genuinely surprised just how good it is and how close it gets to the NSS333. It’s always difficult to quantify anything by percentage uplift in sound but if the NSS333 was scored 100% I would put the NDX2 at 85% and the NDX at 50% of the performance.

I’ve personally tested the NSS333 and the NDX2, I would agree with what he said.
