I'm about to acquire an XPS2 to add to my NDAC, but space on the rack means something/s will need to be moved to a bookshelf to the left.
VPI Scout on top,
Level 1 - Sonos Connect and Trichord Dino
Level 2 - NDAC
Level 3 - Supernait
Level 4 - Trichord Dino+NCS and HiCap
Level 5 - VPI SDS
Already on bookshelf Mac Mini (hires library) and Airport Express (streaming from devices)
So question is what goes to accommodate XPS and where should I then position things on rack. Initial thoughts may be SDS on Level 2 with NDAC on 1 - they aren't used at same time so wouldn't affect NDAC.

Not sure , but if was my system I'd be tempted to put the VPI SDS on the sideboard next to the rack - on the same isolation support you have under the TT. That would make changing from 33 to 45 easier without breaking a back.
would put SN on the bottom shelf. Keep HC on the second shelf. XPS on the third shelf. NDAC on the fourth shelf. The Tricord Dino and its little supply on the fifth shelf. The Sonos Connect on the sideboard shelf above the SDS - looks like it'll fit .with TT on top.
other option would be a wall mounted or hung support for the Scout of course. Hope that helps.

I'd put those things on the shelf below the turntable in the cupboard. Then move everything up and put the XPS where the Hicap is.
Do you have the bottom spikes on the Hutter? It looks as though it's sitting straight on the floor, which isn't a good idea.
