ND555 with single 555DR vs NDS with two 555DRs
Posted by: MangoMonkey on 10 March 2018
Sure, no one has heard the ND555, but when has that stopped us before.
For roughly the same outlay, you could get the NDS with two 555s or the 555 with a single one...
blimey chord music power chords or interconnects?
Have Naim actually announced a price for the ND555?
The word at Bristol show was around £13 k plus power supply , essentially £20k.
that is serious money.
No wonder Naim are taking time to make sure it is worth that kind of cash
Mango, I agree,
Biking is really a great thing, here in Europe the weather has been terrible this winter, soon it will be time to ride again, one or two powersupplies or not
A reduction from two to one 555PS on the streamer is an integral component of my Plan A... the plan to fund an ND555.
Assumptions have been made, of course (1- the retail price of the ND555, 2- its power supply requirement will be minumum one 555PS, 3- the resale value of an NDS, etc), but so long as my guestimates on these numbers are fairly accurate, selling one of my 555PS's will enable me to buy an ND555. I've spent a good three hours slaving over an Excel spreadsheet to establish this.
And "what about Plan B ?", I hear you ask... Plan B is still a work in progress involving a complete switch from CD replay to streaming as being my primary, and only digital source.
Don't even ask about Plan C... that could involve Scotland, or perhaps a remote monastry... who knows? I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself

Thinking of plan C myself.... :-)
Question: What can be better on a cold winter night than a nice barrel of cinnamon scented rum, a pirate asks his mates. Nothing right?
Answer: Wrong! Two barrels of cinnamon scented rum!
So ND555 with 2 555PS DR for me please! But If that's not possible, I'm not sure Naim takes these things seriously anymore, I'm afraid!
