Angeboten wird „Naim Audio NDS plus 555PS - Reference Streamer“ von Naim Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 481891969 endet am 28.08.2026 um 10:28 Uhr.
Is €5,400 a fair price for a used Naim NDS in good condition? No, it is significantly ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile of €3,126 and the median of €2,099 from recent EUR listings; this asking price is roughly €2,300 higher than the typical market median.
The Naim NDS remains a beloved streamer for its irresistible, organic sound and seamless integration with Naim amplifiers, offering a musicality many digital players lack. However, at €5,400, you are paying near the cost of a newer NDX2 (listed around €5,900) for an older unit, so only consider this if the condition is pristine, the seller is original-owner, and it includes the dual bus dock and power supply. Otherwise, wait for a listing closer to €2,100–€2,800 to get genuine value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.
The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.
Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
