Anyone tried one of these yet with or without Naim amps?
Hi All,
This seems like an appropriate thread to ask this on, so here goes.
To the NAC 172 (or 272) owners, could anyone confirm whether the naim control app (android version) has the ability to select and display the pre-amp volume/mute status/input selected? The reason I ask is that I currently have a 122x and find myself having to walk around to another room (under the stairs!) to confirm the selected input, volume etc. I want something that gives me full control (excluding setup features etc) whilst being 'blind' in my living room.
For those that are wondering why my kit is hidden away instead of being on show, it's purey down to space constraints in the living room, in which I have wall mounted speakers - not ideal but surprisingly good considering.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
N272 is much appraised on the green white capital investment place, not only this months flavour but these years.. if you dare ask there, it will need a 555 psu and 250dr amp with Lumina wires too, all sums up to $$$ which is far from Statement
Now now Perf, you don't need all the extras to make the 272 sound great I use mine naked with the bottom end NAP100 and it sounds fantastic.
I'm sure it does sound fantastic, I was just reading some brain washed things over there, it is really becoming a sheep++ place bvadr
You even need two 555 for your cd player or streamer these days, otherwise it sound broken
The owners sure have a fun time, its all about profit these days, how I miss JV.
The little 100 is amazingly good too, provided matching speakers
I would not bother with other brands poweramp to match their preamp
I have a 272, with Android and Apple devices using the Naim app you can control volume, mute and change inputs.
I'll find out early next week, as I've got one arriving on a trial basis.
This is an experiment, to see if I can reduce the Naim box count, and it'll be running with a 300 power amp, together with a 555 Power supply, both of which I already have here.
Not expecting miracles, but if I like the sound, then I'll be shifting an NDS streamer, a second 555 Power supply, and a 552 pre ......... and down to only four boxes, and one stack of Fraim.
We'll see.
