Naim ND5 XS 2 High-Resolution Network Music Streamer

Rediscover your music collection with the Naim ND5 XS 2, a dedicated network streamer designed to bring expressive, engaging sound to your existing hi-fi system. Combining high-resolution playback with versatile streaming and digital connectivity, it makes exploring new music as rewarding as returning to your favorite albums.

Carefully selected components, an oversized toroidal transformer, and mechanically decoupled circuit boards reflect Naim’s attention to audio performance. Its Burr-Brown PCM1791A DAC works with SHARC digital processing to convert digital recordings into a detailed analog signal for your amplifier.

Enjoy music through AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, and Roon Ready, alongside internet radio and compatible UPnP music libraries. The Focal & Naim app provides convenient browsing, playback control, and system setup from your phone or tablet.

Four digital inputs let the ND5 XS 2 serve additional sources, while front and rear USB ports provide access to music stored on compatible USB devices. Stereo RCA and five-pin DIN outputs make it easy to connect to a suitable integrated amplifier or preamplifier.

Finished in brushed and anodized black aluminum, the ND5 XS 2 offers understated styling and a slim profile that fits naturally into a dedicated music system.
