Thanks for the link Muzikat. I have check
out pinkfish but I am not getting a good
description of the sonic differences.
Especially with the Avondale tpx2.

Also, I am not sure if the new Hicap2 is
an improvement over the regular Hicap which
is used for most of these reviews that are
posted.

Any experiences with the Naim XS or Supernait
would be appreciated.

Not sure if the New Hicvap is any better than the old one, but the old one may need recapping sooner.

I have a Nait XS, love it. Had a Supernait, very nice indeed, but no use for the DAC at the time.

Muzikat, do you have all Naim gear and
wire? My XS does have a nice sound with
good sound staging, and detail but it does
not make my DeVore super 8's sing. It is
more on the fatiguing side. On the other
hand my Exposure 2010s really makes the 8's
sing but it doesn't quite have the detail
and sound staging as the XS.

I have heard the DeVores with all Naim gear
and there was absolutely no fatigue at all.
In fact, it was very musical.

My first upgrades for the XS will be Naim
speaker wire and power supply.

Scottmac62 - I've had the Nait XS for about 8 months. Here's what I have discovered. First of all, I thought the Naim speaker cables (NACA 5) were horrible. Very shrill and lacked defined bottom end. I ended up with Analysis Plus Oval 9 biwire. Incredible difference. Made everything come alive. Next, I add the TeddyCap to XS. Very nice overall improvement. Smoothed out mids to highs. Bass is absolutely incredible. I have not tried a HiCap, so don't know how it compares to the TeddyCap.
