All mine (> 500) with it
These arrived today for my 300DR. Just need to get them reterminated to Din connectors as the last person had them changed to RCA to work with a non Naim pre-amp. In perfect condition and a lot cheaper than buying new. Once done, my system will be Sarum T everywhere which I’m hoping will bring some synergy
I listened to an Auralic Altair G2.1 back to back with the 333/332 combo. Great one box solution with a suitable power amp or active speakers but for me wasn’t as cohesive as the Naim duo with a NC250 and ATCs.
Hi Sinewave, thanks for the reply.
That’s interesting. I’ve only had experience of the ND5 XS2 which is used with NDAC and Nait50 in the childrens games room and the Innuos Pulse with Chord TT2/Mscaler in the main system.
My thoughts are that maybe the NSS333 can replace the main system front end. I really like the idea of a high performance one box option where the whole (300 series) is greater than the sum of the individual parts……but I’m not sure if that will be the case.
I’m looking forward to the future demos.
I predict that you will be disappointed!!!
You may well be right!
I see you are using the NSS333, may I ask how you arrived at choosing this over alternatives?
I sold my Chord Dave/Étude to fund the 333/332/250 as it was a better system overall, and I needed to sell the Dave to fund it.
Having subsequently trialled Dave (without Mscaler) with the 332/250, it was a massive improvement on the 333.
TT2 is not Dave, of course, but it’s still a very capable DAC, an I would be very surprised if it wasn’t also considerably better than the 333.
Thanks for the response.
I get where you’re coming from with the better system overall. This is what I really hoped the 333 might bring as part of 300 series system synergy being greater than the sum of the individual parts.
In my rather limited experience of streaming I’ve found that separating the steamer and DAC gives greater performance and flexibility than a one box solution for a similar price.
Not very exciting but hopefully nice performance lift Hicap DR (previously olive Hicap)to partner my Snaxo 362
It was a pint of La Trappe Dubbel. Give it a go!
Congrats on your purchase and enjoy.
But be careful, even if a thread requires it, like cd rippers or Ethernet cables. Don’t eat all the popcorn on the floor.
Sweet and salty for me
You felt that!
An Aavik U180 integrated amplifier and S180 streamer as an upgrade from a NAC 272 and NAP 250. Along with a Sommer BNC cable to connect the lot. Very very happy.
A pair of TP-Link Media Converters (including PSUs) and Fibre Optic Cable.
Picked up for £25 from eBay, so worth a punt.
DG…
I’d be interested to hear from you on whether this makes a difference.
Between where and where?
Between the final switch and the Linn Selekt.
