For very brief time yesterday one of these popped up on an ebay listing for £1500, I pondered for a few minutes but then when I went back it had already disappeared, anyone on here picked it up I wonder?
Some lucky b’stard. Wasn’t me. I really covet an XPS-T.
I should have picked it up as soon as I saw it but I quickly went looking for a tuner to match as I don’t have one currently…
…it was a business seller too, and the ad stated had just been factory serviced, not that I wish to add to the disappointment
I think you’d need a NAT01
Okay,I’ll bite. What in heavens name is an XPS-T?? I know XPS,XPS-2,XPS-DR but XPS-T???
Google brings up nothing so please enlighten me!
AIUI it was an XPS (black series) that had been factory modified to power a NAT01. Supposedly gave a significant uplift in SQ.
Only a handful made, so as rare as rocking horse sh*t.
I’m pretty sure one of our “regulars” has got one.
Six, apparently.
Okay all clear now. Thx! Learned something new today.
What sort of connection is it? A standard 4/5 pin snaic?
Yes, the NAT 01 is adapted on the rear to accept the Snaic.
I keep a few interesting (well to me anyway) pics of unusual Naim kit. Here’s a few XPS T pics found on the forum / net.
Interesting photos there. Five regs (bottom left - no secondary output?), 6 wires to the Burndy (3+rtn, and 1+rtn) and 5 pins on the DIN.
Was it originally some other connection then?
I see there is a custom burndy to snaic.
Interestingly those are the same pics from the ad.
E.
Indeed the top two are from the ad on EBay.
Yes, originally there was a different connection which was changed to accept the custom burndy to snaic.
Have the first one ever built. In a box… along with my 01
It took me 8 months to convince Naim to build me one…

glad to see you’re about…
