Biamping DAC V1

With two NAP 100s, yes (need RCA phono x 2 to daisy-chain)

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have a NAP250, so would be hoping to biamp with two of these.

So I suppose a separate Naim pre would be the only option to biamp with two 250's?

You sure that would work David?

You can also biamp a SuperNait or SuperUniti with a 250 as well... not sure about the other integrated amps in the range.

I tried Biamping my SU + 250, and didn't get along with it. That said, others swear by it (California Jim being maybe the best example).

From the manual: "The DIN and RCA signal input sockets are connected in parallel"...  this would provide stereo (horizontal) bi-amp capability.

Another option would be to use the RCA phono outputs on the DAC-V1 into the RCA phono input sockets as mono amps, using a custom 4-pin jumper between channels - this would permit vertical bi-amp operation, separating the amps using a suitably long RCA phono lead.

...somehow this reminds me of a conversation I had with Doug in the car after RMAF, regarding the half-width DAC / amp combo that was to become the DAC-V1 / NAP 100-I distinctly remember suggesting that this might be a possible use case...!

Is a splitter something that could be used? I've seen flashback sell a din splitter so two power amps can be run in this situation.

Does anyone have any experience of these?

Or I suppose a flatcap or similar could be used as an expensive splitter?

Have been reading around and passive biamping sounds like a grey area of an upgrade, so have been reading into active bi-amping.

Would connecting the V1 to a NAXO or SNAXO be feasible?

You would need a HICAP DR and a SNAXO (and another amp), assuming that your speakers could be actively bi-amped....
