Drawing on decades of digital and analogue engineering experience, the ND 555 marries our innovative new streaming platform with classic Naim analogue technology. It features a 40-bit SHARC processor with advanced signal processing, a suspended brass sub-chassis to isolate sound-critical circuits from vibrations and the best external power supply we’ve ever made. Whether you’re listening to Bonham’s solid groove or Coltrane’s dizzying scales, the ND 555 lets the music flow with astonishing ease and uniquely engaging musicality. Partnered with Statement or 500 series amplification, we believe the ND 555 is as close to live music as it gets.Experience Breath-Taking Depth of SoundND 555 offers numerous ways to listen to your music with clarity and precision.Chromecast built-inApple AirPlay 2TIDALSpotify® ConnectBluetooth AptX HDInternet RadioUPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play)Digital InputWired IR RC5 OutputZigbee® ControlUSBMultiroomRoon-ReadyQobuzTIDAL ConnectA rich audio heritageThe ND 555 is the result of over four decades of audio engineering. From our state-of-the-art streaming module to powerful, natural-sounding audio stages – every element of this network player is built on our design DNA, giving it that distinctive, captivating Naim sound. The ND 555 development process also helped us step foot into new technologies: for the first time, we’ve added low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) to a premium Naim player. We chose LVDS because it minimises timing errors due to its fast speed and it minimises radiation thanks to its low noise.Expert craftsmanshipThe ND 555 is bristling with innovative technology from input to output. The streaming section uses the latest Naim network card featuring low-noise, high-speed LVDS to route the digital audio signal. The higher speed is capable of decoding most HD audio formats at up to 32 bits/384 kHz or DSD128. Rather than the source acting as the digital timing master, our new streaming board turns things around and allows our DAC clock to control the flow of audio data. The data is integer-over-sampled in a SHARC DSP to an incredible 40-bit accuracy and fed into the Burr-Brown® PCM1704, a true R2R ladder DAC valued for its exceptional sound quality.Naim’s renowned DR regulator technology, as used in our range of amplifiers and power supplies, makes its first appearance in a network player, providing ultra-pure DC voltage to the sensitive audio circuitry in the ND 555. The analogue stages use only high-grade through-hole components and are suspended on sprung sub-chassis with heavy brass plates to minimise the effects of microphony.Absolute controlThere are several ways to control ND 555. The Naim App for iOS and Android gives you complete control over individual or multiple Naim products. You can access all of your music including radio pre-sets, streaming services and playlists, sync several Naim players for multiroom playback or explore artist discographies and biographies. The app also controls our Uniti Core music server (so there’s no need for two separate apps) and allows you to update your system wirelessly with a single tap.For those who prefer a more tactile experience, a premium metal Zigbee® remote control is supplied. It requires no line of sight to the player, so you can take control whatever direction you’re facing. The front panel features a 5” colour display presenting album artwork as well as track information in crisp detail, and there are keys for most commonly used functions including standby and input selection.SPECIFICATIONSConnectivityAudio Inputs2 x optical TOSLink (up to 24bit/96kHz)1 x coaxial RCA (up to 24bit/192kHz, DoP 64Fs)1 x coaxial BNC (up to 24bit/192kHz, DoP 64Fs) Audio Outputs1 x RCA pair1 x 5-pin DINAudio InputsStreaming Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, TIDAL,Spotify® Connect, Bluetooth (AptX HD), Internet Radio, UPnP™ (hi-res streaming), Roon ReadyUSB 2 x USB Type A socket (front and rear - 1.6A charge)Digital (S/PDIF) 2 x optical TOSLink (up to 24bit/96kHz)1 x coaxial RCA (up to 24bit/192kHz, DoP 64Fs)1 x coaxial BNC (up to 24bit/192kHz, DoP 64Fs)Audio OutputsAnalogue 1 x RCA pair1 x 5-pin DINCertification and LicensesApple AirPlay, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth, AptX HD, Zigbee® RF4CE, Rovi, NTFS, HFS and Wi-FiConnectivityMultiroom Party Mode Streaming: Sync up to six Naim products and control via the Naim appUpdates Update your system wirelessly via the Naim appNetwork Ethernet (10/100Mbps), WiFi (802.11 b/g/n/ac with external antennae)FormatsInternet Radio Provider vTuner premium 5*Audio Formats WAV - up to 32bits/384kHzFLAC and AIFF - up to 24bit/384kHzALAC (Apple Lossless) - up to 24bit/384kHzMP3 - up to 48kHz, 320kbit (16 bit)AAC - up to 48kHz, 320kbit (16 bit)OGG and WMA - up to 48kHz (16 bit)DSD - 64 and 128FsM4A - up to 48kHz, 320kbit (16 bit)Note: Gapless playback supported on all formats.PhysicalDimensions 87mm x 432mm x 314mm (H x W x D)Finishes Brushed and anodised aluminiumWeight 12.25kgPowerMains Supply 100V, 115V or 230V; 50 or 60Hz Power Consumption Typical use: 25W (when using a single 555 PS)Network standby mode: <2WDeep sleep: <0.5WRipping and StorageStorage 2 x USB Type A socket (front and rear - 1.6A charge)Supplied withPair of Burndy interconnect cables (Analogue and digital), Metal Zigbee® remote (inc batteries), Hi-Line interconnect cable, BNC to RCA adapter, Wi-Fi (x2) and Bluetooth antennae, cleaning cloth, quick start guideUpgradesPower Supply Second 555 PS DROther Super LuminaUser ControlFront Panel 5" colour LCD display and four buttonsHandheld Zigbee® RF4CE (Metal)

About Naim Audio

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.
