NDX2 and NSS333

[Eoink]

Hi John, Steve Sells posted this at one point.

The Naim New Classic Range - Part 2

…There’s 3x streaming/digital/DSP/DAC PCBs stacked up on top of each other in the 333. There are only 2 on top of each other in the NDX

and @blackbird posted the following helpful physical comparison:

Looks like a rather big change to the analogue section in the 333. Much smaller than in NDX2. I wonder what the upside is with dual mono as per 350 design running a huge transformer in each box vs the 300DR solution with dual mono in one box and the power in a separate box.

Naim haven’t stated where the hierarchy is, they have different price points, and at a guess the answer would be listen and evaluate for yourself, but maybe not. Steve did give a personal view on the performance of the new NPX300 in comparison to the XPS2 and 555PS supplies, so he might here.
