Naim ND 555 Network Audio Player (2018)

Enjoy peerless sound quality streaming wirelessly from almost any source, including Chromecast built-in, Spotify, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, AirPlay, Apple Music and Bluetooth® AptX HD plus your own digital music collection via UPnP.
Our reference network player is quite simply the best source component we’ve ever developed. Drawing on decades of digital and analogue engineering experience, the ND 555 marries our innovative new streaming platform with classic Naim analogue technology. It features a 40-bit SHARC processor with advanced signal processing, a suspended brass sub-chassis to isolate sound-critical circuits from vibrations and the best external power supply we’ve ever made.
Whether you’re listening to Bonham’s solid groove or Coltrane’s dizzying scales, the ND 555 lets the music flow with astonishing ease and uniquely engaging musicality. Partnered with Statement or 500 series amplification, we believe the ND 555 is as close to live music as it gets.
