Used Supernait or new XS2
Posted by: Nina on 15 August 2017
I am thinking of trying a Naim amp again and I can buy a good used and serviced Supernait at a reasonable price or I could buy a new or lightly used XS2
I only use cd so the inbuilt Dac in the Supernait might come in handy
Do the two amps sound much the same?
Thanks for any help
Guys, still here? It's seven pages, haven't you got any homework to do?
Or a life to live? Do, those who plan things on yearly spans, remember that they could not wake up tomorrow?
Can anyone tell me what difference there is between say a 2003 CDX2 and the current model?

About roughly £3.000

A different CD drive & puck, however the most notable difference is the latest has a digital output.
I think I've changed my mind and will start with a CD5 XS which I can get used/ex dem with a warranty which I prefer to getting a really old CDX2 with no warranty
If I don't like the sound of the CD5 XS I can always sell it and not loose much, if anything
If I do like the sound of the CD5 XS then selling my transports and dac will virtually pay for it

Dude, we have a valve amp convert, and one that's (according to all available data) female. That's got to be worth another seven pages yet, hasn't it? I mean, I had problems with NACA5, but no one offered to come round and re-solder mine for free. BTW, where do you live?

You can't live in Pompey and not know what that stands for, surely? Listen carefully and I'll sing it.
I have absolutely no idea what it means, but I'm not native to Portsmouth
Play up Pompey, Pompey play up..... Pompey is a football team in the third tier of the league.

Thanks for explaining...
However I have a bit of a pet hate of the word Pompey, I don't know why.. it's a bit like Hants instead of Hampshire... hate that as well..
All ridiculous banter aside, have you chosen between the XS2 and SN2 yet?

At the moment...but with a significantly longer honours board than that lot 20 miles further along the coast (sorry ChristopherM)

Well actually I've just shut down the XS2 and about to put the SN2 back in the system...
I'll be back..

I now have to give the SN2 a couple of days
