Does anyone know about the electricity consumption of items like 555ps and Hicap? Naim does not show these specifications for the power supplies but only power amplifiers. I assume the consumption is more or less stable for power supplies? I ask just because I would like to convince my wife to allow me to keep my Naim boxes for a longer time rather than turning them on only when I listen to music. Thanks in advance.
Just measured for you,my 555ps/nds combo 35W.
Thanks!
Thanks! Amazing!

SCDR/252 25W
NAP300DR 20W
XPSDR/CDX2 20W
All in quiesce mode.
Thanks again!
My HiCapDR measures 9Watts
So. 1xSupercap/52 plus 2x135s =approximately 65w/hr. This equates to nearly 15% of our overall electricity use, including washing machine and tumble drier taken as an average over the year (approx 10 kwh/day, with 2 modern fridge freezers, electric double oven etc).
Depends where you live. In a temperate climate sure. Somewhere very hot or very cold where heating/cooling are lifelines, then your power consumption will be massively larger and the stack of Naim might be <1%.
The UK and some parts of north America area really in the goldilocks zone of low household energy requirements. A lot of people in poor countries actually consume massively more KWh. For my location, the cost of a Naim stack doesn’t get a look in. Finding ways to bring the heating/cooling down from well over 1000KWh/month is the real challenge. That really takes the lion’s share.
