150x to 200... Wow, not a subtle upgrade at all

Posted by: Michael Mccullough on 30 September 2017

Have RP6,172 and NSats. Stepping up to the NAP 200 was a bit of a shock. Much wider bandwith, attack and detail. Had no idea the 172 would show off the differences that much but it is night and day especially with the RP6.

I have owned the 5i, 5xs, 200 and 250. The 200 was my favourite and easily the best value for money (I bought used).

I went 150x to 200.  It opened up the sound immensely.  Congratulations on your new arrival.

I recently switched from Nait 5i to Nap 200 with Dac V1 and am happy with this combination. Nait 5i is good and fun, but the Nap 200 is much better for my SBLs.

Greetings!
