Indeed and in this respect the finest performance I’ve heard from the NAIT 50 so far in terms of both quality and synergy is with the ‘analogue’ NSS 333/NPX 300.
Surely the finest performance of any system is determined by the source.

Yet so many just use their iPhone or the like, in front of mega priced setup - the world is mad.

Sadly this is so true and all because the phone is king.
My Unitilite was the only Naim streamer I listened too.
The sound improvement was significant but I was using the Nait 50 as the amp as well.

I don’t think that was the point (at least mine). My point was the Nait seems to be revealing and this is where a lesser source doesn’t sound as good as I would prefer.
As far as source goes and as an lp listener, it always starts first with the quality of the lp being played…
Pretty much what I said in a different way so I do agree.
And yes LPs are the main source for me.

I need a CB Streamer ASAP.
Thank you NAIM.

Would be nice but since the dealers still haven’t shifted all ~2000 Nait 50 amps then I suspect there isn’t the market for one.
I know there are plenty of vintage CB systems in operation but doubt many of their owners will want to shell out on an expensive streamer - most seem to used in second/office systems.
I’m absolutely stunned by the quality of the Nait 50. My 552 has had to go to Naim for repair/service and my dealer has lent me this until it’s return. It is replacing the 552/350s into Shahinian Obelisks using my NDS and LP12 as sources. Of course it doesn’t have the fullness of the main system but it is giving a perfectly acceptable performance with life, definition, depth and width. Really, really, impressed. I could quite happily live with this.

I’m having a similar experience with a SN3 in place of my 552/500. It makes me wonder when I compare prices!

I’ve just noticed. The dial really does go up to eleven.
Brilliant!

What speaker cables you use withe N50LE
Hi there
I tried Nordost red dawn, Chord Rumour x large and Naca05 with N50
Naca is warmer and the PRAT is highlightened.
Nordost is more detailed, bass tighter and highs are a bit pronounced without being ear harsh
Chord RXL is very pleasant with the old school naim sound I mean nait 5i naitxs2 …
as the N50 is actually the new Naim sound signature
Townshend Isolda currently, works perfectly for me but I guess might be a bit forward for somebody.
