Then no – the technology in the SN2 is older and it won’t pair up. I’m 99% sure about this (having owned an SN2 a few years ago).
Ah, I was hoping it would via the system automation connection.
Thanks for your input.
With the old Naim streamers, the remote would control the preamp volume without system automation being enabled, as it was an IR remote. The new Zigbee remotes can’t do this, as they are not IR. With system automation enabled, you can control preamp volume with the Naim app, but it isn’t clear if the new remotes can access system automation volume. It would be useful if Naim could clarify this, perhaps you could call them and ask?
(Naim used to produce manuals which answered basic questions like this, but not any more, it seems.)
I use the nd555 zigbee remote to control the 252 volume via system automation.

Good question, and a good (happy) answer!

Its something I wondered too. @Mike_S and @seakayaker, can you guys confirm if you can control the volume via the NDX2 remote with automation set up or do you have to use the app or SN2 remote?

Good news Gazza. I’ve checked the wording on the NDX2 and ND555 “Support” pages, and they use the same words for system automation, both mention the app but not the remote, so it seems likely the NDX2 has the same capability.

I never use the App for volume control, so you will be OK.
I have a 52 and it’s not in Line of Sight, I walk and turn the knob.

Great news! I’ve not tried it myself but will at home later.
I am thinking that one must enable system automation using the Naim App, and then thereafter the Zigbee bluetooth remote will work.
Yes you need to go into settings and enable system automation

Like Gazza, I use the NDX 2 Zigbee remote to control my 282 volume via system automation.
Yes, you can and I do. Set up system automation on the NDX2 via the app, connect the little cable to the SN2 and the NDX2 remote will control the SN2 volume. It’s quite cool really.

Great news then. I just need an SN2 now!
I have a beautiful amp but I really only want to use the NDX2 remote. Its also silver and I would really like a better visual match. Its a shame as it sounds stunning with the NDX2.
Thanks for all your comments.

Same here ND555 remote operates 252 volume and mute via system remote.
@ Jukemark I use both the NDX 2 remote and the app on my iPad to manage the volume on the SN2. Mike_S above described the cable connection needed for the remote to function.
