I just went to the Naim website to find out about the Supercap and was astonished to see “This product is no longer available”. So what’s the scoop on this? I have been planning to upgrade from my 282/HiCaps X 2 to a 252/SC and now it looks like my plans are scuppered.
I still have one for my 252. I’m just getting rid of my Superline and that has its own SCDR. I don’t plan to get rid of the 252/SCDR, unless I get rid of all my Naim kit.
It is still a great power supply and had I not downsized and sold all my system and bought an NSC222 and gone active I’d probably still have it.
I am sure you will enjoy yours in many years to come.
Since I already bought a Boulder phono-stage and am impressed with how much it spanks the Superline/SCDR, I have started giving some thought to whether I might replace the 252/SCDR/300DR with Boulder 1110/1161 preamp/amp, which is more at the 500-series level of performance. I’ll need a windfall to do that though.
I thought they stopped just DR upgrading of old units because of a shortage in parts back in April (?) 2022. Did not realise they had stopped production altogether.
Naim stopped manufacturing and discounted the Supercap DR a few years ago. They announced it and the dealers dumped their new product stock quickly giving discounts. That is how I purchased mine.
