NDX with new vs old streaming board

Posted by: meissmar on 24 March 2012

I have had a chance to compare at my dealer an upgraded NDX with the new board to one with the old board. They were both stand-alone without external PSU or DAC. The Hiline was always swapped from one player to the other. System was 202-hicap2-200-Wilson Benesch ACT60 on a Fraim rack. Source was a QNAP NAS running twonky and streaming flac files, ethernet wired.The upgrade on the NDX was done two days before my comparison and running ever since to run-in the streaming board. The other NDX was also powered for about two days and run in.

The difference between the two was pretty amazing.
