ND555 specification - what a load of... mistakes?

Is this thread the Naim forum equivalent of Groundhog day ?

So those of us who already own the burndies can confidently expect a significant discount (£700?) on the £13k asking price. Happy days.

Except, according to the Quick start guide they already come with the ND555 head unit, and their pin configuration at the head unit end may* well be unique to the ND555...

* I don't know whether it is, but I'm sure we'll find out shortly...

No, that would be the Padded Cell "Are we sleep-walking out of Europe?" thread...  

This thread reminds me of the film Groundhog Day.

It does and she is rather lovely.

I believe there’s a Naim dealer in the West Country who useless a now useless Burndy as a toilet chain.

Indeed! audioT in Bristol. Made me larf..

This reminds me of a pathetic joke, so here goes.

Knock, knock.

'Who's there'

'Dejav'

'Dejav who?'

……..Knock, knock.

Sorry, but it has been a long day.

That Indian chap may have been able to answer the damned Burndy question

Apologies to Roger if our silliness gets this moved to the dreaded Padded Cell.

You can only run it from a 555, XPS or XP5 will not power it.

There is a missing colon, methinks. 

There you go...

Thanks Chrissu... this brings back memories of the colonscopy I had a few weeks ago.  But how on earth do they get the camera around those tight bends?  ...and what, I'm wondering, does this have to do with ND555 specs?   

Ah, I've figured it... the specs are in a white paper?     Hang on, no, they're not in a white paper, they're on the web site. The mystery remains.

PS - my colonoscopy was clear, by the way  

I almost hit my gastroenterologist. He was “down there “ when he said ”I’ve got a cute”

He then went on to say I’ve got an acute angle and it would be difficult to get around it.

First hand-job experience required.

I think this thread has wandered off topic a bit!

I like the knock knock joke though. 

Sir, it was that James N wot started it. Honest.

The ND 555 quick start guide on the naim website in customer support shows what's in the box and this includes 2 burndy leads and a hi-line.

It also shows you need a hi-fi system and illustrates what a hi-fi system looks like in case you did not know.

The power supply is still called a CD555PS power supply even though CD 555 is discontinued. I would have thought it would be renamed.

Ian, you missed that wonderful, sexy, aluminium cased, straight lined, modernistic remote control... this alone has got to be worth upgrading from whatever streamer you have to the ND555, surely  

You’ll need something to control the pre from it though, that cable doesn’t come in the box. I suspect the app and an narcom 4 will still be the default.

I notice that the ND555 white paper specifies "Requires 555 PS DR power supply"

Does this mean that the ND555 will not work with a Non-DR 555PS ?

Hi,

Correct - the ND555 *REQUIRES* the CD555PS - it cannot be used with an XPS or XP5XS...

Best

Phil

[@mention:1566878603985147], I think the question was would it work with a pre-DR CD555PS, which would be important for people running an NDS (or lower) on a pre-DR PSU.

Sorry - I misread that bit, in that case the information I have is that it can be used on a non-DR 555PS but it (obviously) won't sound as good.

Cheers

Phil

It used to mention the supplied accessories in the spec on the website for the ND555 but this only mentions :-

Zigbee® remote, Power-Line cable (UK denominations only), cleaning cloth, quick start guide

Which itself doesn't seem right as there's no power supply as part of the package. Looks more like something extracted from the Nova product sheet as it also mentions the rotary volume control further up...

I doubt it would be supplied without Burndy cables as the power supply options are limited to one or two 555PS supplies.

Zigbee remote would mean separate remote controls for streamer and preamp and no compatibility with universal and network (at present) remote controls, like Uniti range.  A mistake IMHO.

The new streamers still use system automation, like the old range, so you don’t need a separate remote for preamp control.
