Components Toggle details

    • Naim Audio nDAC
    Great sounding high performance digital hub with 4 optical, 2 BNC and 2 RCA inputs. The Naim DAC utilizes Burr-Brown PCM1704K DAC .  These are high - performance, multi-bit, linear, ladder DAC chips, also utilized in Naim's flagship CD555 player, ($20,000) provide a classic, "old-school" high-end audio architecture. Upgradable by using a outboard Linear power supply.
    • Teddy Pardo XPS MK2
    Outboard linear power supply that supercharges the Analog section of the nDac leaving the internal toroidal transformer of the nDAC to solely power the Digital section.  Please note, the new Teddy Pardo Xps Mk2 Linear Power Supply now matches the output capacitance of Naim's XPS DR.
    • Naim Audio Supernait 3
    Conservatively rated at 80 watts per channel. This little amp has swagger. Amazingly, this transformer can draw as much as 400 VA from the mains, which is the same as approximately 400 watts! The amplifier delivers rapid, punchy bass with surprising weight and authority, making it sound significantly more powerful than the specs suggest.
    • Teddy Pardo TeddyCap SE Mk2
    Outboard Linear power supply that supercharges the Class A Preamp section of the Supernait 3. Leaving the oversized internal toroidal transformer of the Supernait solely powering the Amplifier section. Please note: The TeddyCap SE Mk2 now matches the output capacitance of Naim's HiCap DR.  
    • SVS Micro 3000 Subwoofer
    Think Hi End goes Micro.  Dual opposing 8 inch woofers driving 800W RMS/2500 Peak. Delivers bass down to 23hz. Bluetooth Phone app makes placement and setup a breeze.
    • Samsung 5 Terabyte External Hard Drive
    5 Terabyte External Hard Drive loaded with FLAC/WAV losses music files. Connected with a Wireworld Silver Starlight USB A to Micro B.  Two Samsung 128 ghz thumb drives loaded with more Lossless Playback.  (The Oppo features three USB ports)
    • Snake River Audio Boomslang SPDIF
    Easily the best SPDIF I've had in my system.  Non coaxial design, my reference cable is famous for silver wire that avoids the typical "sizzle" or brightness often associated with pure Silver
    • Witch Hat Audio Morgana
    Witch Hat Audio 5 pin DIN analog cable.  Connects the nDAc to the Preamplifier.    Witch Hat Audio was founded by former Naim Audio employees making cables to directly compete with Naim products.  The Morgana easily outperforms Naim's own Hi Line.
    • Synergistic Research Foundation XL speaker cables
    Non LITZ Configuration cable. Litz cables tend to make the Supernait oscillate and perform poorly. Generally perceived as dynamic and detailed. Using SR's matching SX Jumpers. Just recently added to the system replacing the well regarded Audio Envy SP14's and the Blue Jeans Cable 10-gauge Speaker Cables. All three speaker cables handily beat out Naim's own NACA A5 speaker cables.
    • Synergistic Research Foundation XL Power Cords
    Foundation XL 10-gauge power cords.
    • Totem Acoustics Forest signature
    Perfect sonic match for the Naim Supernait 3. Pleanty of power to drive them with deep extended bass down to 28hz. Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX Jumpers.
    • Oppo BDP105D
    Universal Disc Player transport.  Features three USB ports to play FLAC/WAV Lossless files.. 
    • Stack Audio Isolation Footers.
    • GIK GIK Acoustics First Reflection Panels
    First Reflection Panels Left and Right.
    • Synergistic Research Pink Duplex
    Pink Duplex & Carbon Fiber Outlet Cover
    Replaced Audio Envy's highly engineered highly gold plated receptical. I strongly recommend the AE outlet at it's price point!!
    • Synergistic Research Purple Quantum Fuses
    Fuses deployed in:
    Naim Supernait 3
    Naim nDAC
    TeddyCap SE Mk1 Linear Power Supply 
    Teddy XPS MK2 Linear Power Supply 
    • Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 SX
    Power Conditioner. This is end-game in power conditioning. And it's gorgeous. One of the most significant improvements in my systems in a long  time. With this latest acquisition it enabled me to have a full loom of Synergistic Research products. Fitted with 8 purple duplexes, complementary to the four Purple Fuses currently in the system. Loaded with trickle down technology from the ($27,000) Galileo SRX top tier power conditioner like Second-Generation SRX Folded EM Cells: Serving as "super capacitors," these EM cells increase peak current on demand. This allows connected components (like power amplifiers) greater instantaneous current draw than if they were connected directly to the wall outlet. Galileo SX Power Supply: It leverages the sophisticated power supply circuitry initially developed for the esteemed Galileo SX line to feed the internal EM cells optimally.
    • Synergistic Research Foundation XL Interconnects
    Synergistic Research Foundation XL interconnects, RCA working in tandem with the Witch Hat audio Morgana DIN Cable. Utilized for SACD, HDCD Playback.
    • Synergistic Research Foundation XL Interconnects
    Foundation XL interconnects
    • Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler
    Synergistic Research 20th Anniversary AC Master Coupler power cord
    20th Anniversary AC Master Coupler power cord powering the Naim nDAC.

Merry Christmas!

Nice!  I’ve been a long time Naim fan but never owned any but have recommended the brand to a few friends who now love them.  It’s one of those brands you buy once and until it can no longer be repaired, you keep and enjoy it.

I’ve had the same experience with vintage Linn gear, 

Enjoy!!
