Non DR to DR. What did it do for you?

I’ve read through the white paper and completely understand why Naim would want to keep ahead of developments and improve their new offerings. From a listeners point of view, for anyone that traded in a non DR for a DR version, what benefit did you feel you gained? Also what other changes did you subsequently make? Thanks

I did the change I had my 252’s Scap2 ugraded by Naim to DR (an option no longer available).

The 252 had never totally convinced me after the 52. Conclusively ‘better’ but not absolutely more enjoyable. The DR p/s definitely gave more satisfaction, adding to the depth and dynamic range, making it ‘quieter’, cleaner and more engaging. Perhaps a bit ‘tighter’ too where the non-DR set up was a bit softer? I would say it liberated the 252’s full qualities and no hesitation in suggesting it was a good value change in my system at the time.
