same!wahahahahaha merry christmas dude.
My dealer didn’t think my 252 was faulty and I’ll give him the nod on that expertise. Are you not calm? I don’t why anyone would get worked up over opinions on hifi equipment.
Heaven forbid you understand the subject you’re criticizing. Merry xmas and all that jazz.

Thinking a bit about the next step… Today I have a NAP250DR that I like. The rest of the system consists of the NAC-N272 with an XPSDR. I now have the opportunity to purchase a NAC252 with a SupercapDR and a NDX2, all from 2016, in immaculate condition, one owner and for only £1200 more than a new NSC222. What do you think, New or old?

Old, that would be a great system and way ahead of a 222.

The deal is great vfm if you like classic gear, you can accommodate, it matches speakers and room – on this basis not much risk.

For your information on NDX2. I had mine out for 6 months and eventually sold it for 34 000SEK. The money some stores ask for them now is way above the actual value for them so be careful how much you pay right now. OC have dropped more in price than you might think which in return make them a real deal now

We used to have 272/XPSDR/250DR.
NDX2/XPSDR/252/SCDR would be a huge jump in quality across streaming board, DAC and pre… We never used our 250DR with 252.
You’ve got the option of an end game classic system there. 222 not in the same league.

The classic has had a heck of a drop. 250dr, sn2, 282, 252, scdr, all crazy low prices the last few weeks.
