just heard that naim giving details of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx today
Ended up being what I guess is a cheaper dac, with variable output and USB async, and a nap100 power amp both half size cases. No possibility for power supply upgrades on the dac.
Typical.
i have just purchased the naim dac.
or am I getting upset over nothing. Is this new item more designed to run from a pc ?

If the quality is as good as the ndac, Naim will stop producing it. It is most likely not as good as ndac, but with a headpone amp, the ability to connect to a pc just by plugging in a usb cable, and run it without a pre just the nap 100 and speakers, it is really another good product.
I want the dac v5 with only outboard psu and optimal sq, so I can sell my 252.
With the new products with preamp functionality and digital in the same box, I think we could see such a dac in a year or 2.

The nDAC remains the better product, if SQ is your primary concern. Plus you've got the option to add an external PSU to better it still...
I agree Graham, hi-end pre with just a volume knob and one maybe two inputs at the 252 or 552 level.

....both By the addition of a PS? G
