If you no longer own the CD you should delete your rips of said CD
I suspect I will move them to the loft. I doubt they are worth a huge amount
I hope you have a strong loft floor
I had a cds2. Changed to ndx2/xpsdr. Close in sound quality.
Then changed xpsdr to 555drps. Now streamer beat the cds2.
Pricy? Yes
Worth it. Yes

My new XPS DR arrived yesterday and I set it up with my NDX2 today
From the first tracks I played its a WOW
Looking forward to it settling in.
Yes very true
I will report
I now have 252/300 fed from nds/xps2-dr (& my existing tt and cdx2) to pmc twenty5.26, enjoying the amps out of box and am told they will give more with timeā¦
Iām trying out one on the digital out on my Core, and on my switch. Iāve yet to pull it out to see if I notice any difference, but I didnāt notice any detrimental impacts when I plugged it in
Iāve always felt that I was lacking knowing that I could do serious damage to someone with a remote, so today this arrived (my pre-loved 552 didnāt come with one).
Smallest black-box upgrade available. The button click noise floor has dropped away, and my volume changes are now inky black.
Yep, itās a rather silly spend for what are effectively 3 buttons that Iāll press (maybe 4 at a push) , but it makes me happy.
Iāve just received a second one today that is plugged into my EE8 switch, and Iād have to say that itās provided a nice further refinement in the micro dynamics, openness and clarity, that really draws you emotionally into the music.
I need to run it loud tomorrow for further tests on cohesion
On a side note, we are having solar installed and it looks like the house earthing will need to be redone - which should be covered in the āall inā price, so that could be interesting. Heās already tidied up the fuse box and there is a now a spare feed of the mains switch (something called an active link) that I could use for a direct feed to the music roomā¦.
You should be able to use five (!!) buttons - mute, vol+, vol-, prev and next (the last two with āpreā selected).
I assume in pre mode the prev and next button change source? If so Iāve only got the NDX2 as a source, but your point is taken
My fourth (although unlikely) button choice was disp. That said, I generally donāt turn the 552 display off
Three buttons it is then.
I donāt see this on the naim site.
My second hand 552 remote is borderline useless.
Anyone?
You are looking for a new remote for your 552?
Ebay has Narcom 5 available.
Noted thank you.
Wondering though, what is in the above pic by JonoB?
Looks like the R com.
Lumin U2 Mini just arrived to overcome my legacy streaming issues.
Everything else is packed away while the builders are here so quick test with the Mojo v1 and Grado headphones and Iām very happy. Lots of options to play around with.
Should provide the nDac with a bit of company. Although Mojo is doing very well.
