Witch Hat, which cable...

[CraSh]

Hi Pink Fishers -

This is quite a simple question, but I can't work out which cable I need...

At the moment, I have a XS3 (though about to upgrade to a SN3) with a ND5 XS2 feeding in - my question is, will either of these cables work in this set up?

Many thanks

the hatpin 5 is for power supply but the morgana will, but for less than that sort of money you could get used hiline.

Thanks @hifi-dog - I'm quite new to Naim and all the different cable combinations, just confusing me(!) so thanks for taking the time to come back. Funnily enough, I've seen a couple of hilines on a certain auction site, a little over 300 which look good value. I have though read some cracking reviews re the the morgana leads, though don't tend to see these come up secondary.

I thought a Naim streamer came with standard Naim grey interconnect cable included ?
Not a bad cable by any standard, some say its identical to Chord Chrysalis.

Thanks @Olsen indeed it does, I just fancy tweaking things a little

Couple of tips - the standard Naim interconnect is pretty good. HiLines are excellent but they have a charming habit of disassembling themselves/breaking off little clips in the plastic ‘armadillo’ section, certainly if mishandled but in my experience eventually under their own weight also. Naim will repair, but worth checking if you’re buying secondhand and paying due care yourself.

Morganas are excellent, steer clear of the HiLines, they do break easily as already mentioned.
