Jason Gould is a wonderful ambassador!

[@hi-ficorner]

We could not agree more :)

[@markallenster]

Oh my, great information here. Again thanks for posting and asking the same question(s) a lot of us have.

[@hi-ficorner]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markallenster]

@@hi-ficorner Extremely! I'm sure it'll be easy to hookup a NAC 332 to a SN3(power amp mode) with the right cable.

[@debopamsen5541]

What's the cable linking the Supernait 3 to the NAP 250 at 5:50? Can't find it on the Naim website!

[@hi-ficorner]

Get in touch and we can get yuo connected!

[@hawkmoon369]

Excellent naim are thinking about previous products for integration.

[@hi-ficorner]

Of course they have connectors for backwards compatability so we can all follow along!

[@fl3shgordon]

What’s an upgrade from the N272 with theatre by-pass?

[@hi-ficorner]

It was and still is the NSC222, give us a shout to discuss

[@MrKevinRance]

So what I can work out from this is only an upgrade to the new 300 series incrementally is better than a NDX2/282/SC/250DR combination? Or am I misunderstanding? Price to sound quality ratio of upgrading to the new 200 series seems to rule it out a bit

[@hi-ficorner]

Worth having a listen at a retail store. Trust your ears, the 282/SC is great but it was designed over 20 years ago

[@MrKevinRance]

@@hi-ficorner true but well designed is well designed, new products are not always better. I will have a listen and trust my ears, the question was more should it be a jump to the 300 series or the new 200 series

[@hi-ficorner]

@@MrKevinRance 300 series is not in our shop yet, so I have only heard at Munich hifi show. But Naim Audio make great stuff, and do not change things unless there is a real engineering and audible difference

[@sparkliteto]

⁠​⁠@@hi-ficorneror in this case a regulatory obligation driving the new line due to half watt standby power supply rules as described in the video. This said I’m sure Naim wanted to leverage the requirement to take a step forward.

[@Felix-wp9fb]

I was listening to new 300 series yesterday. Not impressed...I will still use my "old" Naims...

[@paulk9534]

So why did Naim only find this out now?.. has power supply changed so much that they’ve discovered something they should’ve known when they launched the XPS?

[@Tokaisho1]

In 20 years better components have been developed as technology and materials progress

[@hi-ficorner]

Spot on, Cheers!

[@iwcpilot1151]

Just listen to all the hiss with no volume from this Naim crap.

[@ralex3697]

I’m not a fan of Naim because of being stuck in their ecosystem

[@hi-ficorner]

It's worth while matching components and speakers for the best synergy

[@Soundapple]

So. Corporate Hi-Fi wants us to be grateful that they didn’t change the power connector on the new series 😂 BS

[@hi-ficorner]

adapters are available!
