XP5 XS on NDX?

Posted by: Zinger on 12 February 2012

Just curious. Has anyone tried the following combination:

NDX + XP5 XS
DAC + XPS.2

Rationale behind this is less effort is needed to power the digital part (hence only XP5 used), while nDAC gets to use the more-capable XPS.2 ... While getting to keep cost slightly lower than having two XPS.2s (i.e. a cheaper 4 box solution) and perhaps a more evenly distributed setup than NDX/nDAC/one 555PS.

Local dealer does have the XP5 XS for demo ... This theoretically is a more efficient upgrade path for people like me?

Surely logic would suggest the other way around as the NDX is completely unplugged from the mains when powered by an external power supply whereas the DAC is not?
