{"product_id":"naim-ndx2-streamer","title":"Naim NDX2 Streamer (2020)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWell respected British Hi-Fi manufacturer, Naim Audio, were normally rather reserved when new technology came to market, but they “bucked” that trend when it came to computer audio and music streaming by investing early. This unit is in very good condition coming with original packaging, manual, Burndy plug, BNC adapter, Wi-Fi \u0026amp; Bluetooth antenna’s, SNAIC connecting lead, and our standard 3 month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nNaim Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nWith its world-class performance, the versatile and upgradable NDX 2 embodies the current state of the art. A host of features such as high-res UPnP™ streaming, AirPlay, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth (aptX HD), Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, Roon compatibility, vTuner internet radio and multiroom streaming as well as digital and USB inputs provide all the connectivity you could wish for.\u003cbr\u003e\nOur main focus in developing the NDX 2 network player, however, was its performance. Along with Naim’s bespoke streaming platform, we implemented an upgraded DAC and discrete analogue stages. These and numerous other improvements over its acclaimed predecessor make the NDX 2 a sonic force to be reckoned with, offering highly immersive and lively replay quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Burr-Brown® PCM1792A digital-to-analogue converter working alongside our new streaming platform is one of the best available. We improved its performance even further by implementing our own digital filters and adding a discrete current-to-voltage converter immediately after the DAC.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe streaming section of the NDX 2 uses the latest Naim network card featuring low noise, high-speed low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) to route the digital audio signal. The higher speed is capable of decoding all HD audio formats at up to 32-bits\/384 kHz or DSD128. Rather than the source acting as the digital timing master, our new streaming board turns things around and allows our DAC clock to control the flow of audio data. The data is integer-over-sampled in a SHARC DSP to an incredible 40-bit accuracy before it’s fed to the Burr-Brown DAC.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe NDX 2 features an integrated low-noise power supply with a custom-designed toroidal transformer and separate windings for the digital and analogue sections. However, the player can be upgraded with an external XPS DR or 555 PS DR power supply, giving you a marked increase in sonic authority and emotion.\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring the development of the NDX 2, our engineers examined every detail, from mechanical construction, component selection and board layout. The result is a network player worthy of the Naim badge, with a sound that’s rich, detailed and engaging.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\nUPnP-enabled to allow streaming of audio files at up to 32- bit\/384kHz resolution from Naim Audio hard disk servers, network-attached storage (NAS) devices or any home computer\u003cbr\u003e\nSupports a broad range of music formats: WAV, FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, Windows Media-formatted files, M4A and MP3.
