NAIM ND5 XS 2

Naim tok verden med storm da de lanserte NDX i 2011, en nettverkspiller som var så moderne og hadde så heftig DAC og DSP at den helt frem til nå har kunnet blitt oppdatert med nye tjenester. Dette har gjort den gangbar i hele 7 år, det er slettes ikke verst for et datarelatert audioprodukt! 

Nå er det på tide med en ny generasjon og det betyr at de nye spillerne får den nye ND800 streaming plattformen vi kjenner fra Unitiserien. Mange har spurt seg om Naim ikke lanserer et helt nytt design på Classic-serien lignende det man har på Unitiserien, her kommer svaret, det gjør de ikke. De nye nettverkspillerne kommer heldigvis som tøffe svarte bokser med grønn logo og grønne knapper, akkurat som vi liker det. Serien bærer tross alt navnet Classic! 

ND5 XS 2

Den nye ND5 XS 2 strippes ned for maksimal ytelse versus pris. Uten display og fjernkontroll styres alt fra appen, men ønsker man en remote så kjøper man dette separat. 

- State of the art DSP.
- Kontroll via app.
- Status LED på frontpanel.
- LVDS digital signals for lower noise
- Innebygget strømforsyning.

The ND5 XS 2 uses our innovative new streaming platform with an expanded feature set. High-res UPnP™ streaming, AirPlay, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth (apt X HD), Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Roon compatibility, internet radio and multiroom streaming – alongside digital and USB inputs for conventional connections – make this versatile player the ideal partner for one of our integrated amplifiers.

Carefully selected and matched parts, an oversized toroidal transformer, decoupled PCB boards: the ND5 XS 2 benefits from classic Naim engineering and fastidious attention to detail to ensure that it delivers natural, engaging sound quality from all sources.

Technology & Craft

The streaming section of the ND5 XS 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 PCM1791A Burr-Brown digital-toanalogue converter.

Developing a new streaming platform was one of the biggest projects we have ever taken on. Naim engineers across all disciplines – electronic, industrial, acoustic and mechanical – worked for three years to create a system that could make the most of online services such as TIDAL and Spotify while adding future-proof flexibility through Chromecast built-in. Supporting faster data rates with dual-band Wi-Fi and the latest 802.11ac protocol, this robust platform was designed for the highest performance on every level.
