DC1 for NDX >NDAC/XPS2
Posted by: PTCM on 03 March 2017
I am trying to add a DC1 to a NDX >NDAC/XPS2 setup 202/200.
Cam someone please tell me the most optimal digital connection I can get is thru which type of DC1 ?
BNC to RCA ?
Thanks in advance.
BNC to BNC.
Why would you think of using an RCA Phono?
Naim usually recommend BNC connections where ever possible.
I use a DC! BNC/BNC for my CDX2.2 and a BNC/BNC 75ohm coax cable for Mac into nDAC
I'd be intrigued if you think the DAC V1 builds on the high quality NDX DAC... sure presentationally they will be different.. but other than that I look forward to your comments...
Yes use the BNC output on the NDX, remember to disable the NDX DAC stage in the settings (analogue out -> disabled) , and activate the digital SPDIF out and ensure in 'native' mode for optimum performance.
Simon, OP has an NDAC with an XPS2, not a DAC V1.
Huge thanks, must get some better readers ![]()
All comments apply as before, other than that I found the NDAC a major uplift on the NDX DAC .. still interested in your reply
"BNC to RCA ?" < It felt like a RCA, what I meant was BNC > Coxial. I am using no.3. will try to get a BNC > BNC DC1. Thanks everyone. The NDX > NDAC/XPS2 does sound very good.

I didn't know Mac has BNC out....

Understood. Are you updated v4.11.8 and upgraded DR? A must. I know NDX/nDAC/XPS2 is superb but just try an USB stick in the front.. ![]()
