Offered is „ND5 XS“ by Naim Audio as second-hand device from the category „Digital Streamer“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1631709302 ends on 14.11.2026 at 14:21 o'clock.
At €699, this sits right on the median of the recent used market and essentially matches the going rate for a Naim streamer in good condition, so it reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or a stretch. With the 25th and 75th percentiles both clustered at about €696–€700, there’s no meaningful premium here, just a clean market-price listing.
That makes the appeal product-driven: the ND5 XS is still a respected, musical network streamer with the easy pace and timing Naim fans buy for, and it remains a solid way into the brand’s streaming ecosystem. If the unit is complete, works reliably, and includes the original power supply and remote, this is a sensible grab; the main check is simply that the streamer boots quickly, holds network connection, and has no control or output issues.
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.
