External power supply 555PS (with Powerline cable included, Burndy cable excluded) for ND 555. Upgrade possible with second 555PS power supply.
Not everyone sees hi fi the way we do. For us, a refined, stable, low-noise power supply is not only desirable but essential for optimal performance. There's one product where this philosophy is fully realized: our best PSU, the 555PS.
Originally designed to pair with our world-class CD player CD555, the 555 PS can also be used with network players NDS extension And NDX, with hard disk player and server hdx extension and with the digital to analog converter DAC, as well as with the CD player CDX2.
Whatever Naim product it is paired with, the 555 PS enhances every aspect of the music you love, vocals and instruments become clearer and more natural, perceived dynamic range increases while musical tempo, sense of rhythm and accuracy are enhanced. even more in focus.
Characteristics
- Seven regulated power supply voltages, including a separate power supply for the CD555 clock circuit
- Low resonance cabinet with isolating feet
- Massive transformer 40% larger than that used for XPS
- Supplied with Power-Line power cord
- New configuration with Discrete Regulator (DR) ensuring Naim's best ever standards of stability and low noise
Technology and Construction
The 555 PS benefits from decades of experience and the relentless pursuit of the best possible sound quality. Its massive transformer, about 40% larger than the one used for the power supply XPS, has 5 separate windings with 7 regulated supply voltage outputs, including a specific output for use with the clock circuitry of the CD555.
The 555 PS was upgraded in 2012, the result of a 2 year project to develop a new discrete regulator (DR) for Naim power supplies. The new Naim DR now features improvements to the wiring, mechanical decoupling and internal layout of the components. These updates, developed through intensive listening tests, significantly improve performance and make music even more communicative and engaging.
