So i've been given a NAIM NNP001.
Upon inspection, it has been 'upgraded' to an analogue 2 channel power amp (everything digital ripped out, no connections now except a din to x2 rca input cable)
I know this is a popular thing to do these NNP01's and they essentially become a Naim NAP-200.
Recommendations for a pre-amp source please?
Criteria: Streaming (spotify) from phone/tablet. Happy to use something like DTSplay if its reliable.
Decent/Good inbuilt DAC
Cheap - under £100 pref, happy to do second hand if a modern unit.
My nnp01/ NAP 200 has no volume control now so that needs to be considered?
Likes: I had intended on buying an Arcam sa20 at some point as i LOVE the sound but now i have been given this so will make use of this instead.
Thinking something like a Teufel connector 2? (£85 second hand)
Arcam Rplay (probably more money £200 or so but if it would give me that 'arcam' sound by using an arcam dac then may go for it?)
Audiolab 6000n but again probably around £200
Chromecast audio obviously but think i want to be able to have the option to connect into the device a cd player or a hard drive, possibly.
Future expansion: Will be doing music piped to all rooms at some point using in ceiling speakers so if something i buy good help towards that aim then great.
But not vital at this stage.
Anything else i should consider and your thoughts?
2. How does the Naim sound compared to Arcam (eg sa20) in general? Will be powering a pair of
B&W dm602 s3's.
Thanks for any info and suggestions!
