NARCOM 5

Posted by: Chag... on 12 March 2016

Does the new NARCOM 5 bring new functionality or is it just repackaged to use the same shell as the streamers' remote control?

Do you have a picture of it? That should tell you. It must be very new as the only Google search result seems to be this thread.

I have a 4 & 5 in front of me and can't find a function on the 5 that isn't on the 4. The 5 arrived mid December with a new pre, I prefer the 4.

So what does the "5" look like ???  There's nothing in the Naim products listing.   Is it shown in a manual, & which one.

The 5 is shown in the new CD Reference Manual, Issue 8c. Listed price is 100£.

OK  gottit  !!!!  Yuk,  looks (& expect it feels) like the "6" that is supplied with the network players.   Its a real clunky thing compared to the NARCOM 4.   But for me its OK 'cause I only use it for getting into the display with beta testing,  my normal use is iPad for NDX & some amp stuff & NARCOM 4 does the rest ..... & long may that continue

Functionality is identical. Buttons are a little bit more logically placed than on Narcom4.

I tend to use my NDX remote anyway with system automation...

One came with my new 282dr, it's probably a little heavier then Narcom 4 , feels more solid, but not surprisingly does exactly the same as it's predecessor, and music sounds exactly the same......maybe it needs to burn in....ummm !!!
