Installed Feb ‘24. Newer and improved White LED version. All in good order. Complete with all cables and boxed.
£11,250 for an excellent-condition Naim ND555 is a solid bargain, sitting nicely below the £11,461-£11,934 range from recent comparable UK listings (median £11,698). For a flagship network player known for its precise timing and rhythmic drive, this undercuts the typical used market without red flags on condition, making it a compelling buy for Naim enthusiasts chasing that signature sound.
Before committing, verify the original PSU is included—many listings skimp here, and substitutes dilute performance. Also, check for any Ethernet port wear or firmware updates, as older units can glitch on modern streaming services; insist on service history to confirm no recap has been needed.
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.
