Got my new turntable setup:
- Technics SL-100C
- Nagaoka MP-150 cartridge
- Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra preamp
- Pro-Ject Leather It mat
- Pro-Ject Clamp It clamp
- Pro-Ject Measure It digital scale
- Norstone Stockholm 700 stand

This will certainly be an amazing experience. Enjoy
may your ears guide you well

Enjoy! I’ve not found any benefit to record clamps on my Technics decks tried a few and I my experience they sit on the dynamics and timing.
Congrats. Enjoy the nice setup. If the white distributor outlet is for the turntable, you may want to consider a slightly better one and also try to check polarities if you can.
Yeah, it’s the outlet for the turntable but it’s only temporary until I get a better one.

This is the idea, with this robotic arm I will command the volume of my Nait 50.
I just completed the assembly of the hardware, now I go for the software!

I really wish Naim would have put a very simple remote in with the Nait 50 instead of the headphone socket. I really think this was the reason they didn’t all sell.
I love mine but never use it simply because I need a remote.

Well that sure gives the N50 a more modern, futuristic look, Rafael. 
An easier option to adjust volume on the N50 might be this one… 
(it might turn it up or down in larger steps than you wish though) 
That’s a pity, but I do understand. I also miss a remote.

@igel had a different solution to this problem 
Repost!
You are not only using half the 555dr with the ndac.
When the 555 is used with 2 Burndy, one is used to power digital circuits, the other one the analogue circuits.
When you use the 555 with one Burndy, it powers both the digital and analogue circuits.

Waoo, it should also be able to butter a scone while you are listening

Neotech UP-OCC SOCT-12 umbilicals for my Compression Driver/Horn on my VotH Miami’s. Superb.

RPi or Arduino?
Can’t figure out if you’re serious

Same here. (I assumed it was a joke actually)
The “robotic arm” website can be seen if you enlarge the second pic.
That’s news to me. My NDac only has one Burndy input. My XPS only powers the analog section of the NDac. To power the digital section, you also need to connect a standard power cable via the standard jack. Even if the 555PS has two Burndy outputs, how are they supposed to be used with the NDac?
If you look at the photo below, there are 7 power rails. All of the power rails go to output 1, two of the power rails ALSO go to output 2. (red and yellow wires).
The ndac is powered from output 1 and uses 5 of the power rails.
+V Analogue
-V Analogue
+V Dac
-V Dac
+V Clock
The internal +5v power supply in the ndac only powers the DSP.
Interesting. I found an old post from Richard D. who commented that the internal supply powered “part of the digital side”; that seems to stack up with Fatcat’s notes above.
