Absolutely and I wasn’t suggesting a Naim dealers thoughts are to be ignored.

Mine too (well, twenties actually). I must have ‘smoked too much’ to appreciate that stuff…
So when are you getting it?
So far I think it sounds very nice
I’ve only had it playing for a very short time
It seems to play louder than the reported power rating.

Just need to find an Onyx to add to the stack !
Think I have one lol I’ll check the archives
Interesting
what speakers do you use ?
The pictured Heed amp to compare ?
I’ve had the old Obelisk, nice amp but laid back vs a Nait 2.
Just be aware that as a Trade Member here, Steve can discuss the new NAIT 50 and even compare against the original NAIT but can’t really comment about other brands.

Listing Prince in the same list of anything as Bucks Fizz is a direct contravention of this esteemed forum’s rules, punishable by listing to Making Your Mind Up on repeat. @Richard.Dane may I request you to levy the appropriate punishment.

New superlumina cables in the making? 
Running in
Like any new amplifier Nait 50 improves considerably after running in. Out of the box it will sound detailed and punchy, over the next days more warmth and engagement come, then more PRaT over the weeks.
While running in:
- Make sure it is not in standby! - set the ‘auto on’ feature to ‘on’ (i.e. it does not sleep) - this is important
- Use the volume control (min to max to min occasionally)
Engage and disengage plugs and sockets (signal, mains and speakers) to remove oxidations on contacts.
For AB listening comparisons ensure the gain is set equal. This is best using a test tone and AC multi-meter (there are test tones on streaming services, - uses -10 or -20dB tracks at say 500Hz. 0.5dB differences will throw results.
Have fun and enjoy!
