With the NDX 2 now a generation old following the launch of the newer ND streamers, this A$6,500 asking price is a strong deal compared to the current market. While new units originally retailed around A$11,950–A$12,500 and a recent Australian dealer listing shows A$5,499, the used market in AUD typically sits between A$6,000 and A$7,500 for excellent condition examples, placing this listing near the lower end of that range and well below the 75th percentile.
This is a worthwhile buy because the NDX 2 remains a first-class DAC and streaming engine praised for extraordinary build quality and top-notch sound, offering Airplay, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Tidal support alongside high-res PCM and DSD playback. Its ability to act as a standalone DAC with 32-bit/384kHz resolution and Burr-Brown conversion chips makes it a versatile, high-value centerpiece for a modern network audio system, and the “excellent” condition listing suggests minimal wear with likely full original accessories included.
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.
