ND5 XS 2

The first of Naim's dedicated music streamers - or network audio players as it likes to call them.

ND5 XS 2 uses the same streaming platform developed for the flagship ND555 and uses it very well too. It's half height and doesn't have the shiny LED display of the NDX2 and ND555, but performs really well at this pricepoint.

Naim NAIT XS 3 integrated is the perfect partner.

Features
This device streams high-quality audio files from different sources and supports various music formats. It has two digital inputs and two optical inputs that support optimal connection to external sources. It features a front-panel USB port, Bluetooth connectivity, and RC5 system integration. It's Roon ready, multiroom and Party Mode compatible, and has an iOS and Android Naim Audio app.

Technology & Craft
The ND5 XS 2 streaming section uses the latest Naim network card with LVDS, decoding all HD audio formats at up to 32 bits/384 kHz or DSD128. The new streaming board allows the DAC clock to control the audio data flow, and the data is oversampled in a SHARC DSP with 40-bit accuracy before being fed to the PCM1791A Burr-Brown digital-to-analogue converter.
