Input 8 (5 pin DIN) has line level outputs mirroring the currently selected source. Note that
when this input is selected the source connected will be mirrored, so beware of feedback
loops if using a recording source.
I’m sure details will follow, and I expect it’s the same new tech that’s in the NSC222. I think you need to try the NSS 333 into your NDS, with and without an nDAC
I wouldn’t call that a decent amount though The core of it being the ND800 streaming board is the same as in ND5XS2, NDX2, ND555. I guess they save tones of work doing it like that with support for all platforms, certifications etc. DAC is same as NDX2. No idea about all other analogue and digital differences but them not talking about it at all makes me think it is to a high degree an NDX2 in different packaging.
The larger Burndy socket (typical used for digital circuits) has the inter-product coms signals. These are not replicated on the smaller Burndy. Therefore if two PSUs are used the synchronisation features will not work (lights and standby)
Those NAP 350 look absolutely fantastic. I can wait to hear them in all their glory. Shame I’d need 6 of them for my active system, but the configuration really lends itself for integration with other brands pre amps.
As the Nds was a 300 series and has the suspended sub chassis, I am glad to own it . Perhaps for only UPNP streaming the Nds is still superior to the NSS 333….
