Buying an NDS today ?

Posted by: nestor burma on 11 October 2017

the NDS is now more than 5 years old. Thinking about the speed of changes in connectivity and chips (Moore s law), you cannot help thinking that a hardware upgrade is on the way, independently from the software ...?

Does it then make sense to buy one today? In fact is it still competitive?

Thanks for your views

the new uniti range will produce an up market unit with no amplifier , cant see the classic range surviving . to be honest the look is dated.. the new range looks the part

Except Naim explicitly state that is not their intention (at least not in the foreseeable future).

That would be the HDX.
It can even play CDs. Which is charmingly retro.

you are right, an hdx on steroids, with a sound on level with an nds, or even better....
