New Sound Processor, Please?

Posted by: curio on 25 January 2013

Hi,

Just wondering if Naim are ever going release a sound processor like the Audiolab 8200AP. Just to process the sound no video duties like NVi. Possibly with Dirac room correction. Maybe to even challenge the Datastat RS20i? Can even add streaming in there too as it's the flavour of the month at the moment. All for under 5k? A challenge!

I'm sure if Naim released such a processor it will be an outstanding product. As Naims business is sound.

Dangerous stuff.

And I'm still really enjoying mine!

Me too!

Still enjoying mine.

Only wish the normal analog pre-amp stage was a bit better.

I still use my AV2 and my DVD5.

... Hoping for an AVx and a BDx
