ndac characteristics

System:

NDX, SN2, US (rips in WAV),PMC 25.23, 2X PL and (undeciced) superlumina interconnect. 

Hi all,

Looking for feedback from ndac owners/users please as to the characteristics of the ndac....just a few words to describe what it adds.

I Definately don't want 'bright' or 'heavier bass'.  All through my different set ups over the years I've experienced some annoying exaggerated top end, although I suppose this is more dependant on quality of the CD. I.e. some discs sound great and some just bloody awful....

HDX, 202, 200(twice), SN1, SN2(twice), gb1i and other bits along the way.

I've just removed the superlumina and put on the lavender. Strangely I prefer this.  Less aggressive sound and easier over a large range of rips.....warmer, quieter. 

If I'd have done some research first I would have avoided it.....bloody silver in hifi doesn't agree with me. I guess it works best in the top end of gear with top quality music formats. Hi res etc.  Don't get me wrong, in some ways it had benefits, very clear sound, more space between instruments etc. 

I've read the ndac increases bass and ive got enough of that already hence my reason for not adding a HC to the SN as I've heard the addition of HC adds more of everything. 

No recommendedactions on hugo etc etc, I want to keep all Naim. 

I wonder if there is a speaker cable that's a tad smoother, warmer than naca5?

Best,

Ray.
