DR Modification for SuperNAIT 2 and SuperUniti?

Posted by: Acoustics Guy on 30 May 2016

Does Naim have plans to update either the SuperNAIT 2 or SuperUniti with the DR modification? 

My dealer (USA) is clueless.

SN2 already has DR reg's for the pre section.

No one will know unless Naim announce it and so far, they haven't.

Seems like a totally logical evolution for the SN2 and (perhaps) the SU. But I'm not holding my breath.

want more sound quality, pay more.

B&W doesn't give the diamond tweeter in anything less than the 800 series 

One has to make sacrifices to own top quality hi-fi, less holidays, less eating out, no more brand new car.

On the other hand, DAC V1/Nap 100 has no DR regulation and sounds amazing to me.

SN2 already contains DR regs. Has done since its introduction.

When I bought my SU several years ago I also understood that it had DR technology applied to it, though I havent ever seen anything in writing to that effect.

And yes Gary, Im hearing you and concur that SN2 already contains DR regs.

Indeed it seems the SN2 does as was correctly put forward by Gary.

But don't expect this for the power amp section. Naim's starting point regulated power amps has always been the 250. Even the 200 is only DRed for the preamp DC supply.

I don't actually believe DR is implemented in any way for the SU otherwise I would expect the current model to have the DR logo on the back. Possible they included this by stealth but cannot see a good reason why.

The Naim price list uses an asterisk to denote DR technology included (except that on the current price list, confusingly, Naim also use an asterisk to denote delayed price increases). Anyway studying the May 2015 and June 2016 price lists (for example on the Signals Hifi website), the SN2 does have DR and the SU doesn't, which confirms what others have said.

Thanks to all for the information and clarifications regarding my inquiry.

Agree with feeling_zen : the Superuniti does not have DR regulation.

Yes, but the Supernait 2 definitely has the DR.

For the preamp.
