Bought an NDX2 from our dealer today, to use as a digital transport.

We recognise the naysayers will say this is a waste of money, and an ND5XS2 would be same performance, but we’ve a view to upgrading in future from 250DR to 300DR keeping to 6 boxes. Also SWMBO wanted a remote.

As our dealer said since we’ve got an XPSDR “all options are open” to us - we can compare NDX2/nDAC/XPSDR to NDX2/XPSDR and decide if we like the latter before moving to 300DR.

I have no experience with the NDX2.

I had the nDAC + PS555DR and later the ND555 + 2x PS555DR.

I think you made a smart choice :+1:, the DAC part of the NDX2 is certainly very good. The nDAC is also a great DAC.

You have two DACs that you can use either one or the other depending on the music you listen to or just your mood.

You can also add the PS555DR which will transform your nDAC.

And later on you can switch to the ND555.

So whatever your plans, the NDX2 was a good choice.

Great photos… we once got caught behind a large group descending a steep ice slope off Alphubel and we couldn’t get around them safely… ropes all over the place. Missed the last cable car by 10 minutes with our flight home early the next day. A rapid run across a melting crevasse field followed by a lengthy descent. Their ears must have literally been on fire :joy:

Being trapped by slower climbers and missing the cable car are classics among alpinists :sweat_smile:

Just added a 2nd 555PS to the NDS. Great price on a gently used item from my local Naim dealer.

Will do… looking forward to hearing the uplift!
What power amp did you have before the 500DR? Guessing for me that’s the next step but I reckon my rooms a bit small for it?

Had Olive 135s and 52 pre
Replaced both with 552dr and 500 dr within one month - I have a very large room
The Olive amps were not embarrassed by the 500s
