Anyone using Teddy Pardo XPS for Naim nDAC and Teddy Cap for the Supernait 3? Any good?

My system : Oppo BDP105D Universal Disc player/Transport > The Chord Signature Super Digital Coax Cable BNC > Super Lumina DIN5-5 DIN >Supernait 3 > NACA A5 Speaker cables > Totem Forest Signature Speakers.

I’m looking to upgrade the Supernait 3 and the nDAC with outboard power supplies. With Naim’s recent price hike I’ve been scouring the net for good pre-love gear. Not a lot of inventory in the US and if the is a candidate is the 13 years old and on the brink of a refresh.

Does anyone have any experience with Teddo Pardo products in Isreal? Is the voltage compatible, how was the shipping experience? My biggest concern is with the voltage match-up. If any one has used the Pardo products and tested them directly with the Naim brand was their a difficult in PRaT? Any assistance you have is greatly appreciated.

I use a TP LPS for my Nucleus with great success. Another unit was ordered for a customer and shipped this past Thursday and it should be delivered by Tuesday! Fast and relieable on all accounts.

The Teddy Pardo XPS really delivers on the nDAC, in my experience, especially for the price. The Pardo Burndy is good but I'm reading Naim's is better but expensive. 

I have both Naim's and Teddy Pardo's 4 and 5 pin SNAIC's. The TP's are more dynamic! but the Naim's are more natural and musical - more Naim like. 

The right power cable can make the Pardo units better. 

Last month I installed Synergistic Research Orange fuses in the TeddyCap SE and the Supernait 3.

I upgraded the Supernait 3 and the Teddy Pardo TeddyCap SE with the Synergistic Research Purple fuses. I favor the Purples sonic signature over the Oranges.

i use the teddy cap in my naim xs2, it makes a significant difference in sq - greater ease of presentation, yet added clarity, reduced grain

for naims i think these upgrade linear power supplies are important as the gear is designed to take full advantage of them

No Naim experience, however, I have several Teddy Pardo power supplies that I’m quite pleased with. Excellent customer service, well built, fair pricing & fast shipping.
