Still like the Mk1 Supernait for the flexibility of both analogue and digital inputs with a fairly decent DAC built in.
They both definitely share the same DNA and sound signature.I went from a NAP 110 to a NAP 160, and in my room, with my speakers and at the levels I listened, there wasn't anything in it. I could have saved the money.
My favourite box was probably my first Naim CD player, the CDi. A lovely sounding player and goodness knows why I swapped it for an NDX2, before getting the CDS3.
Haha, yes, too much Naim clearly addles the brain.@Hungry Halibut - Surely the CDX2 Nigel?
One can be very satisfied with a Naim CD player/Nait 2/IBLs in a suitably-sized room. Heck, I have exactly that!
I use a CDS2. Extra points for a mullet system.
As far as I know, all NAC 72s have a CD input and one for phono. It’s the Nait 2 that has phono and CD variants.I have a 1995 NAC72 with CD on the source selector and single phono inputs. Is that one of these that would have been made for the Japanese market people were talking about earlier?
Also hicap and a pair of very late olive 135s. Highest serial numbers I've seen anyway and well into the post-Olive era. Not sure the history as I got them second hand. They have the 007 transistors in them too that I think were developed for the NAP500.
I've tried other stuff and liked other stuff, but in the end the utter simplicity, lovely sound and killer looks means I can't ever see myself swapping out for anything else more than for a bit of fun for a couple of weeks.
My CD player is a CDX which you never hear a good word about. I don't have rack room for a power supply or 2-box CD player so I just stick with it as it matches the rst of the system. Certainly sounds good enough for me even if it could probably be bettered.
The original 72 had two sets of BNCs for phono and aux, what you did with aux was up to you, it could have variable input cards, or another set of phono cards, or striaght through cards suitable for high level inputs like a CD. This is what my 72 is like.As far as I know, all NAC 72s have a CD input and one for phono. It’s the Nait 2 that has phono and CD variants.
Thanks for the clarification. I can’t remember which version of the 72 I once had.The original 72 had two sets of BNCs for phono and aux, what you did with aux was up to you, it could have variable input cards, or another set of phono cards, or striaght through cards suitable for high level inputs like a CD. This is what my 72 is like.
Later the 72 dropped one pair of BNCs and added a DIN input marked as CD.
This was a general move and not a special for the Japanese market is my understanding. By then the CDS was out!
earlier builds (like mine) had two sets of BNC sockets
