I take the occasion of this forum to ask a suggestion about my system:
I have a Bluesound Node 2, CDX2.2+XPSDR+282 (252 arriving in a couple of weeks)+SCDR+250DR+Kudos 606.
Thinking about next upgrade i have some option:
Naim NDAc powered with XPDR to be used with CDX2.2 and Bluesound Node 2
I usually use Bluesound Node with Streaming and NAS for background music or to discover new music but for serius listening I use my CDX2+XPSDR.
I know that 300DR instead of 250Dr will be a big upgrade, frankly speking I do not know if may be better to point a 300DR or a NDX2 first.
in the long term niether is wrong, but I have always used source first approach which I know most, but not all agree with, if you have 252 in coming, I would certainly go for the source first - 282?SCDR is a lovely pre but addition of 252 will ideally need a better source
I still use my NDX (2014) as source using FLAC and IRADIO, but my main source is LP12
what I can say IMO the 252/300 either with SC or SCDR are 4 boxes of musical magic
