£772 looks like a strong deal against your recent comparable set: it sits well below the £892 25th percentile and far under the £955 median, so it prices in the bargain zone rather than merely “reasonable.”
That makes it a very appealing entry point for a NAC-N 272, which is still well-regarded as a capable all-in-one network preamp/streamer with a proper Naim presentation: pace, grip, and musical flow are the usual draw. At this level, the upside is in getting a serious piece of kit for notably less than the market norm; I’d just make sure the seller can confirm it powers up cleanly, the streamer functions properly, and any needed network/remote extras are present, since those matter more than cosmetic wear here.
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.
