It could be worse. Have you ever heard a whistling fan 
Only when watching a spaghetti western

It’s been apparently wrong/imprecise for years, so would be nice

It definitely has a fan, this from the manual:
Your NAP 250 features fan-assisted cooling, designed to activate when your
amplifier runs at high volumes for a sustained time. Please ensure the heat
outlet is not covered; we would not recommend using the NAP 250 in a closed,
non-vented cabinet.

I cannot believe the forum has not exploded over this! Does not bother me personally but I can see some being upset by it. There was a thread on another forum full of outrage about a fan on a different piece of hifi IIRC
I was agreeing with the point about aural memory. I too can play a recording that I haven’t heard for years, and can tell immediately that certain details, or resolutions of textures weren’t apparent previously. If science disagrees - my point was that science sometimes changes its mind, with my example being the impressively titled, but now discredited Geocentric Theory. However we’re off topic here, so perhaps start a new thread if there’s more to be said.
Now, that is what I call a stand 
Just that “At one time science stated that the earth was at the centre of the universe.” is wrong. It did not

Why would people be upset? My 1984 built 135s are fan cooled, the 300 and 500 are fan cooled (IIRC), it’s pretty standard Naim practice on high spec power amps.

Noise mainly I think, but only if you sit near your gear I guess. Anyway, let’s face it, if you have a Naim power supply/ power amp fan noise is probably drowned out by the transformer hum anyway

Because… This is the Interwebzzzz…? Any opinion or view posted by one person, will result in at least one other person (often more) vehemently disagreeing…

Given that it cuts in when the amp is starting to overheat, unless your room ambient temperature is really high or your speakers are very inefficient (or you’re listening to John Cage) I suspect the music volume will be enough to drown out the fan.

Awesome 
…….I would not like to try and lift the stands and the ATC’s at the same time……where is that chiropractor’s number

I have only ever heard my 135 fans come on last summer during the heat wave. I think the case has to get up to 70C. They are in a log cabin the garden which gets pretty warm with the sun on it. You can’t hear them over music even at low levels. I listen pretty loud in the main. The 250 has always needed a fan as mine tripped out fairly often during the summer.
@seakayaker this is exactly what I would do as well. Compare a system with another is really complicated and I think that changing one component at a time it will be my way, starting from the 250. Honestly I m super happy with my ndac and till when I will be in Egypt i cannot use any streaming service, this is why I dream to maintain my hi cap and have a new balanced version of the 282 with no streamer embedded and let my ndac sing

It would appear that the motion detect error on the remote control for the NSC-222, has now been rectified. This is achieved, by downloading and installing the latest update for it.
Thank you Naim
