I’m considering buying a new Nova through the Naim Exchange promotion.
Which DAC does the latest Nova use, and which speakers would you recommend?
I currently have speakers from Jean-Marie Reynaud; would they also work with the Nova? I’m a long-time Roon user…
Jean-Marie Reynaud (reminds me my first speakers, JMR DUO), OK, but wich model ?
Lunna
Right now I’m listening to my Uniti Nova. It’s a brilliant all in one player. I love the Nova

While the DAC chip in itself tells you little, Naim use their SHARC-based digital signal processing, and then a small part of a Burr Brown/TI PCM1791 DAC.

thanks, could you explain what that SHARC-based processing mean?
Which speakers du you use please?
The original white paper for the standalone Naim DAC probably explains it in the best detail;

okay thank you
And what it translates into is great sound and support for most all of the relevant bit rates and sampling frequencies;

JMR LUNNA :
- 4 ohms (minimum 4,3 Ohms)
- 91,6 dB (2,83V) - 89 (2V)
- 40 to 150 W
NOVA :
- 8 ohms : 80 W RMS
- 4 ohms : 155 W RMS
NOVA will drive them

I use a Uniti Atom with Jean Marie Reynaud Lunna small floorstanders and they drive them effortlessly so the Nova would have no problem at all. I wonder though if the Nova would be underused in this case and might deserve better speakers?
