Naim NDX 2 Network Player - Naim really are one of Britain’s truly great companies, always leading the way when it comes to hifi, whether it is creating the world greatest CD player to embracing this new age of streaming we find ourselves in today, but most importantly it always comes down to the music and nothing comes closer to recreating that infectious live sound than Naim. Please check back shortly as we write our thoughts on Naims extensive range. Naim's latest network players have been engineered on the basis of a completely new streaming system. Three years in the making, this innovative, Naim-designed digital technology surpasses anything we’ve done before. Combining state-of-the-art DSP with a rich, analogue soul, our network players deliver engaging, immersive sound quality to get the very best out of your music, whilst retaining Naim's classic styling. The range includes the ND5 XS 2, NDX 2 and ND 555 – the first network player in the Naim 500 Series and the only one to match its power and audiophile-quality sound.

From their state-of-the-art streaming module to powerful, natural-sounding audio stages – our design DNA runs through each model in the range and helps to give it that distinctive Naim sound. The ND 555 development process also helped them step foot into new technologies: for the first time, they’ve added low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) to a premium Naim player. We chose LVDS for its high-definition audio output, which offers faster processing and very low power consumption. Extraordinary Design Inside and Out: With their new network players, they wanted to retain a classic look while integrating their latest technology and innovative new features. All of the models in the range use the familiar brushed metal exterior, while NDX 2 and ND 555 also include a 5” front-panel TFT display. Along with the Naim app, it’s the face of our seamless new streaming system, providing access to streaming services such as Spotify and TIDAL, internet radio, local sources and album artwork – in short, ultimate connectivity.

They remove the need for line of sight, so you can take control whatever direction you’re facing or even from around the corner. You can also use the same remote for different Naim streamers – a new device can be paired in a matter of seconds. Both the ND 555 and NDX 2 also feature 5” TFT colour displays with proximity sensors, as well as four control buttons for added flexibility and streamlined usability.
