N272 / 555PS DR / NAP 250DR on order. Tried the NAP 300DR, so wanted it to work, but just didn't sound right in my room with my speakers (ProAc K6).

272 / 300(DR), but slumming it with a cuddly toy PSU.  A 555 is probably the only upgrade I'd look at on the electronics side.

I think I will follow you.  One of my kits ( in the sitting room) comprises 20.21, v1 and 200. I will try to trade in the v1 and get a 272, upgrade the 20.23 of my main kit to build: 1) 252... + upgraded speakers, 2) 272, + 200 + 20.23, 3) UQ2 + 20.21.

only 4-5 of us, I figuered there be more

I was considering (and really wanted) a 300/300DR but decided to swap a 200DR for a 250DR to go along with my 272/XPS-DR.  Maybe down the road when I have the funds to play with.

I was in the same point and got 555, whole other ball game but give it a time and you disconnect it to hear the difference

Have NAC272 ,555PS DR,  300 DR, Super lumina DIN to XLR, Super lumina Speaker cable, Naim CORE, Fraim 4 Tire, 3 Naim Powerline cable and PMCtwenty.26 speaker. Effect is awsome, feeling if live performance is going on. sometime, i surprisingly see my left/ right side if any body is singing

I must admit to being a bit behind the current naim offerings knowledge wise.

The NAC272/555PS DR, it is - similar/behind/or just ahead of a 252/SC2 DR ?

Finally took the plunge and got the Focals after I was made a better than expected offer for my Ovator 600s. Only 3 days in so lots more running in to do. Love them already - not Red but Black and very nice they look even though my daughter refers to them as Darth Vaders
