Thanks, Mike! Today, it seemed like things opened up a bit, compared to yesterday. Bass had a little more weight and the mids weren't as recessed. It will be a fun ride to listen to music as the burn-in progresses.
My little experience with Naim tells me that I like what they do. Just plain fun to listen to.

Thank you, Joe! Today was better than yesterday by a good degree. It would be really fun if that continues to be the case for a long long time. I have read that Dyn's can even get worse after a little break-in has you feeling good. That will be funny to experience if that is the case for me. Doing just as you said...sitting back and loving every second of it.

Break-in continues....I am really appreciating the staging and clarity this puppy is providing. The overall musicality is very very enjoyable. The highs are airy, mids have good weight and the bass is very punchy and dynamic. Leaving the unit on for days at a time proves to be helpful. The chassis has not gotten hot (just lightly warm) and I really like the feel to the buttons on the face. Still haven't really 'cranked' it yet but with the volume at about 9:00 or a little past, I have gotten pretty good SPL's and the Dyns just seem to handle the power with grace, begging for more.
More to come in a few days.

That's great. 9:00 on a Naim is still fairly loud. I'm glad your enjoying.

Jock, I was a little surprised how little turn of the knob ramped up the gain. I am definitely not saying the decibel creep is flawed or inconsistent..cause it certainly is not. I can hit the exact volume I want, both low and high.
For those also interested - the remote volume control is also very good. Smooth and consistent. A push of volume up/down does not go too far in that direction. Small, equal steps.
Jock, do you have any plans to hook up the 500 series gear to your D3?

Hey Sean, are you using anything to secure you speakers to the stands? I use a product I bought on amazon called museum putty. It's like blu tak but better IMO. Highly recommend it for piece of my mind at the least and possibly better sound as well...

Hi Jax. I am using these little rubber feet that have decent "stick" to them. One on each corner. They were included with the Stand6's. I will have to look into that museum putty, though.

Yeah, that has been my 'ride' so far....pretty smooth.

Yes, but I haven't yet. Only because of extreme laziness. 
I have the Naim speaker cables a foot away and the remote is close by too. I have the NDS going into the Dag and the Naim at the same time. When I say extreme laziness I mean extreme laziness. I'll let you know. It only has a damping factor of 15, so strictly by the numbers, it shouldn't work very good at all.

Haha! No judging here. If you are content with your current setup, that's all that matters. Too bad the specs don't match up a little better. Tyler is running his SN2 with HiCap DR on D1's and is liking what he is getting....maybe there is something there....I can picture you grabbing the NACA5 now....haha!

Well, Naim amps do have A LOT of current and have no problem with Wilson Sasha's which are not an easy load, soooooo i wouldn't be surprised if they did a good job.
Specs are fun to look at, the proof is in the listening.
