Hey, 552 was so named because it replaced 52 … which in turn was so named because it was next to be released after “42” … let’s not look too closely at the logic 
Should be the resistor ladder for the volume control.
Maybe Naim will come up with a new white logo to replace the green ones. They did with casework a few years back. I wonder how much a new logo would cost though.

What did the 252 replace?

ALAC is already supported on the current streaming platform - i.e. new/current Uniti, Mu-so 2, new/current streamers.
Using it with my library of ripped (iTunes) or downloaded (bandcamp) local music.

Are they both definitely useable at the same time? I’ve been wondering if a single PSU would do both pre and source. I’ve not seen any info on the two connector types and the spec seems ambiguous 
[edit: ah, I think I misunderstood! The PSU supplies analogue and digital separately!?]

You Tube link anyone?
Damn! Just when I thought I was done - I have to find another (counts on fingers) £11,400! 
You haven’t been following the leaks closely enough over the last few weeks! Naim have announced the 200 series today but the power supply is common to the 200 series and the not yet announced…well I will leave you to work it out from this photo which is taken from Naim’s product description of the NPX300 on their website.
Anyway I think it’s very good that Naim have simplified their power supply product line.

The NAC42 replaced the NAC22.
For some that preamp does not exist because it’s a backward step from the 52, unless you add the supercapDR of course
The world of Naim is a bit confusing but there were naming conventions that escape me. Can’t remember
There was a NAC32 and a NAC12 originally.
The NAC12 came first, then joined by the NAC22 at a lower level. They were later joined by the NAC32, which eventually replaced the NAC12. Then the NAC42 came along to replace the NAC22. The NAC42 was later upgraded to the NAC42.5 and then replaced by the NAC62. The NAC32 was upgraded the NAC32.5 and then replaced by the NAC72. Simple…

Oh, I never think of user objects as investments, but offers as low as €1100 for a 7 year old 250dr made me choke on by Pomerol for a bit.

It says on the product page, that the NPX300 power supply can power the NDX2. Is the NPX300 somewhere between the XPS-DR and 555PS-DR?
Its price places it between the two.

Very pleased with the look of the new streamer NSC222; order placed well before today.
Initially last year, I had in mind to get another Nova to allow me to move SU in bedroom, elsewhere.
Prepared to wait, my enduring dealer didn’t break embargo at any stage, just agreed to accept an order for new streamer/pre if I was ordering unseen.
Original plan was to acquire ex-dem NAP250DR, but then decided a few months ago to have both new units.
Pleased with a potential arrival in the next couple of months.
Dealer already has demo units playing, very positive report during initial warm up.
Well done to all at Naim - yet again!
