September 2011. Milan Italy. <\/strong>Naim today launched the ND5 XS: Naim\u2019s first network player to stream 24bit\/192kHz sources natively. Designed and engineered to integrate into Naim\u2019s range at a similar quality level as Naim\u2019s slimline XS series, the ND5 XS is performance upgradeable in stages as the owner demands. The ND5 XS is performance upgradeable currently by the addition of a XPS or PS 555 power supply and\/or Naim DAC. \u00a0A matching slimline power supply will be available next year.<\/p>\n Product Overview<\/strong> Technically, the ND5 XS draws significantly from the hugely successful Naim DAC and Naim NDX. The innovative and SHARC DSP-based buffering with fixed clocks is utilised along with 16 times oversampling and Naim\u2019s proprietary, low-generated noise, digital filtering algorithms.<\/p>\n The ND5 XS adds far more to a system than just streaming. It includes three S\/PDIF digital inputs to support connection from computers, to set top boxes, to CD players.<\/p>\n It includes internet radio \u2013 the radio of the future \u2013supported by vTuner\u2019s five star full service. Search for stations by genre, location or just simply by name. New stations are added automatically to the searchable database.

Also included is Naim\u2019s Choice delivering Naim-recommended stations including exclusive higher quality radio streams.<\/p>\n Apple authentication enables digital connection of iPhone, iPad and iPod allowing the ND5 XS to play all stored music, podcasts or audiobooks. Play music on a USB stick, even those containing hi-resolution WAV or FLAC files, with full on-screen control.<\/p>\n Control the ND5 XS with the front-panel buttons, the supplied remote control or an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running the FOC n-Stream app. The app also enables System Automation; allowing control of a Naim system\u2019s inputs and volume.<\/p>\n Choose the optional FM\/DAB module to add terrestrial radio stations.
