Got it! Maybe it will see you trading in your Linn and pizza box.
The Linn is end game, but the Pizza box is due a replacement. The Linn can run in preamp mode, has balanced outputs and I have 2 spare shelvesā¦
2 boxes, 3 at most and Iām done.
Famous last words
Very true and never say never, butā¦
Iām very lucky to be able to own some superb kit which gives me a great deal of pleasure. I like the simplicity of 2 to 3 boxes and know where I want to end up, system wise. Iām hoping this will be with the addition of a couple of Naim power amps to finish things off.
Iād call that a good place to stop.

Just to throw the spanner in the works, I tried an akkurate DSM streamer with a 300 on its own and I was not really convinced. I think a Naim amplifier should be pre and power, which I also tried. Not bad but in the end not for me
I tried my Linn DSM streamer direct into my NAP500DR, and agree it was not convincing.
I tried my Linn DSM streamer direct into a New Classic 250.3 (proper balanced connections), and it was very convincing !
I am thinking the New Classic 300 monoblocs will be even better !!
No spanners for meā¦
Roll on the 18th !
Donāt you still have that guilty pleasure Nait 1?
No better place to announce/launch the 300 seriesā¦the biggest HiFi show in Europeā¦
Because not everyone wants AIO components, although that seems to be the trend.
Will be interesting to see what is announced. I think in any case I will only be in the market for a 300 series streamer plus NPX300, which I hope will be fully compatible with my non DR 252(Supercap) and 300.
Should there be a new dedicated 300 streamer I wonder if itās going to be compatible with a 555PS
Based on the NSC222, I would say itās highly likely. The big question will be whether the new NACs can be powered by any of the legacy power supplies.
Of course it will be - may need a few new cables though? XLR or DIN outputs perhaps as opposed to RCA.
Will need to be pretty special to better your current streamer I would have thought.
Yes good question
Otherwise up for an even more cash heartache one might say
Naim v good on bespoke legacy cables. I am stuck listening. new 250.
From what I see on the forum quite a lot of members have the classic 5 box system
NDX2 Streamer
XPSDR PS
252 preamp
SCDR PS
250DR
I suggest maybe that will be up against a new classic range
300 Streamer
300 NPX PS
300 Preamp
300 NPX PS
NC NAP 250
Wallets ready !!
Wonder if Naim are going to launch a ā2023-trade-upā. I know Macintosh are going to give you back upto 75% of MSRP of a product, against new models, depending on condition / age. Would be nice, I think Iāll keep dreaming. I think B&O did the same a while back. It would be nice for Naim to give a bit back to the customers and planet!
Wouldnāt it be nice ā¦ā¦.
As we say in Australia Neil
āYouāre Dreaminā
Yes would be good but wonāt happen here thatās for sure
