Are they that good, how would you compare it to other multi box setups
Well the Nait 50 certainly doesnāt have the shall I put it āweightā of the larger boxes like the Supernait 3 which I have and maybe misses out a tad on detail
But on the plus side itās ( hate using word) super musical and bounces along beautifully and drags you into the heart of the music . Itās certainly fun to listen to thatās for sure.
I really like it . I suspect the trick is to have the right speaker pairing , in Balmain I have the Neat Petite anniversary and down south have the Neat Petite classics . Perfect combo. I wouldnāt push it with big inefficient speakers though.
Here in Balmain currently using it with my LP12ARO and Superline/scdr/ Armageddon combo. Magnificent
For me one of the best Naim buys I have made in a long time

The other thing I should point out Pete is from what I can see on your pics and Mikes pics , compared to you guys these days I live in relatively small spaces so the Nait 50 with small stand mounts are perfect

My current room is rather small
My old Royds/Atom are now living comfortably in Balmain at a friends place. Heās youngest daughter (21) loves it, got my old UnitiServe and all my music. Apparently sheās now hooked on Lou Reed and the Moody Blues.

I know I told sheās inherited my old white mans music (a few of Mrs Peteās).
Down south I have the 252/SCDR/250DR with the Neat Ultimatum XLS ās stand mounts ( great speakers I might add)
Another area the core/ndac/ Nait 50 with Neat Petites Classics
It all works but only just
Certainly the 500 series and Neat Ultimatum XL6ās I had previously far too much for the space

My Neats are probably just a bit big for the room I have at present. Iāve been spending a lot of time listening on headphone via my DAC V1.
I pack my NDX2 up tomorrow dropping into Harry next Saturday to get the din relay thingy fixed.
Good one - can Harry do it or thereās a service guy in Sydney that probably can do it
Not sure hopefully in Sydney but at one stage it was going to Melbourne.
Think āSpeed Bumpā, slow down to bounce over it and then youāre off againš
Hope everything goes well

My main system is downstairs in the office (now dubbed the music room when Iām not working). Itās only about 3.5m by 5m, but works well. Iād love to try in out in the lounge, but Iām not taking it all apart to try! Sometimes I think Iāve upgraded to far, but it will see me through a good 15 years or so I reckon, and a man needs one good vice in life.

Iāve hedged my bets a little for the future getting 2 Nait 50ās
Hopefully in my later years Iāll be able to have a small shack in NZ ( South Island of course ) where I can have the CD5XS/nDAC/NAIT 50 with the Neat Petite Classics. My brothers and other family members can use it
Itās always in the back of my mind
Physical CDās are still important to me thatās for sure

I read today a massive apartment complex has been approved for Queenstown CBD
Been years in the making evidently
Stage 1 of 200 + unit construction starts soon
Full complex over the next 5-10 years
That should ruin the place unfortunately

Continuing my wildlife odyssey. Just stumbled on this nest of the most vicious biting b*ard ant species the world has ever known. Take one step towards these fkers and they are up your swim shorts like a bat out of hell.

Fire ants?
Are you on holidays or just out looking for things that bite.

Could be. But you canāt get close enough to tell. Do you have them where you are?
Yes, theyāre not meant to be. Theyāre in Queensland now and the authorities are busy trying to wipe them out.
Iām being a melodramatic. I am a zoologist by training so enjoying seeing it all.
