Sound signature Nap 250 DR vs. Nap 300 DR

Posted by: Nicholaj on 08 July 2016

Considering both amps and recently heard the 250 DR together with the NAC N 272 on the same speakers as I own (Audiovector SR3 Avantgarde Arrete)... Great sounding!

Would highly appreciate if anybody has done an A/B test on these two amps and can comment on which of the two is the most warm sounding?

Hi Nicholaj

In all fairness the separates route will get more from the NAP 300 DR however the NAC-N 272 is still strong enough to be paired with the NAP 300 DR. The NAC-N 272 only gets stronger when it is energised by the excellent XPS2 DR or the truly remarkable 555 PS DR. Fwiw, over the last eight months or so I've mostly paired our NAP 300 DR with a NAC-N 272/555 PS DR and also this week until yesterday evening with Sopra 1's

NAC-N 272/NAP 300 DR/XPS2 DR is a fab combination. 555 PS DR adds the icing on the cake

All the best

Thank you Rick and for that matter all of you whom have taken the time to share your experiences and insights on the topic. 

I have to say, what a great and insightful community this is!

For me, a clear picture has formed in my mind and I can't wait to audition the 300/272 combination with the XPS and 555PS. If the 555PS delivers sufficiently, I suppose my dealer will be just as thrilled as me, as I will have to take the plunge...

Hi Nicholaj

You're welcome and happy listening

All the best

Hi Richieroo

Sure is  although on here I won't use the two words either side of me at my reaction to the scale of the improvement

All the best
