<address>New player 'delivers more music with CD rips that most players do with hi-res sources.'<p><img alt="" src="http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/sites/17/images/article_images_month/2012-02/naim%20nds.jpg" class="c1" /></p></address>
<p>Naim has announced the new range topping NDS network streamer. The brief for the NDS is to comfortably exceed the performance of the highly regarded <a href="http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/news/article.asp?a=9937">NDX</a>. To this end, the NDS borrows design and construction techniques from the more expensive Naim components including a brass sub chassis to which the main boards are then attached on spring type connectors.</p>
<p>Like the high end Naim CD players, the NDS requires an external power supply. Customer options range from a single XP5 XS to a pair of 555PS units which allows for a degree of upgradeability.</p>
<p>The digital to analogue conversion is a further refinement of the technology first seen in the Naim DAC. This comprises a pair of Burr Brown PCM1704 DAC's and a 40 bit SHARC DSP. The NDS discards the RAM buffer used up until now and carries out all data buffering in the DSP.</p>
<p>Like the smaller Naim streamers, the NDS features digital inputs, iPod connectivity and extensive internet radio functionality. The NDS can be controlled by the supplied remote handset or via the N-Stream ap for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.*</p>
<p>The NDS is on sale now. For more details, click on*<a href="http://www.naimaudio.com">naimaudio.com</a></p>
