converting CDPS to XPS2 spec

Posted by: Boz on 19 October 2003

I want to stay with the Olive boxes as my system CDX/CDPS/82/Super/250/Nat02 are all the same cosmetic.

Any idea if this CDPS to XPS2 conversion is possible....I have heard of people converting CDPS to XPS..i imagine much of the internals may have to be changed...all depends on price I suppose.

Anybody talked to Naim about doing this and retaining Olive casework....next upgrade will be to CDSII so this is a plan for when I can do this.

Impossible for both CDPS and CDS11.

I should have thought there was a huge market for providing the new electronics within the old livery - if only for WAF purposes (i.e. she would never know...)

??? Fozzy, are you sure you understood your dealer correctly? Or was he/she talking purely hypothetically?

Cosmetic "downgrades" are not possible (or economically viable).
