Super Lumina Din-Din 4-5 pin IC for Superline/Supercap. Will it ever be available?

Posted by: Steve J on 26 January 2016

As a Superline owner I have long been waiting for this cable to become available for audition. I was in email conversation to Roy George last February, when I was informed Naim hoped to have them available in a few weeks. Nothing has happened since. Last week a friend sent me a copy of the July-Sept edition of HIFI Critic which has a followup review of the Statement. In the review Martin Collums stated that at the time of writing supply of the cable

"looked unlikely to be available (due to a technical incompatibility with the phono stage)."

That's not that much of a surprise to me as I've never found an IC that bettered the Naim Lavender, including the HiLine and Chord STA.

It's ironic that the RCA - Din SL cable can be used with Linn's Urika. I only know of one user and he is happy with the cable's performance.

So, for those who have been waiting for the SL 4-5 pin IC to be released don't hold your breath.

Thank you for the answer . If you mention "significant" over a direct 552 Dr connection, then this should be a GO

Will the SL 4-5 pin DIN ever happen?

Is there a technical or configuration problem with SL technology or is it that it just does not sound good or Naim has other things to do or ???
