NDS • English
1.
1.1 The four transit screws located on the underside of the NDS must be carefully removed before use. Do not invert the NDS to
remove the transit screws but work from the underside by positioning it at the edge of a table. The transit screws must be
replaced if the NDS is to be re-packed or shipped. Do not invert the NDS during or following transit screw removal. Following
transit screw removal, stand the NDS on an appropriate, level and stable surface. Make sure it is adequately ventilated.
1.2 The NDS requires an external XP5 XS, XPS or 555PS power supply connected to one (XP5 XS, XPS) or both (555PS) of its
power supply input sockets. Use only the Burndy cable or cables supplied with or intended for the specific power supply. If
an XP5 XS or XPS power supply is used it should be connected to NDS Power Supply Input 1. The link plug must remain fitted
to Power Supply Input 2 unless a 555PS power supply is used. If a 555PS power supply is used it should be connected to both
NDS Power Supply Inputs 1 and 2. Do not switch on the external power supply until all required NDS connections are made.
1.3 Identify the rear panel Signal Ground Switch and select the chassis option unless your NDS is connected in a hi-fi system
incorporating another earthed source component (all Naim CD players, for example), or mains hum is audible through the
speakers when it is switched on.
1.4 Connect one of the NDS analogue or digital outputs to an appropriate preamplifier or external DAC input.
1.5 To play audio from internet radio stations, UPnP™ servers, Spotify
be connected to the internet via a network router. Either connect the NDS network socket to your network router using an
Ethernet cable, or connect the supplied Wi-Fi aerial to the rear panel Wi-Fi aerial socket.
1.6 If your NDS is to play audio files stored on a USB storage device, such as an iOS device or a memory stick, connect it, using an
appropriate cable if necessary, to the front panel USB socket.
1.7 If any external digital audio sources are to be used with your NDS, connect them, using the appropriate cables, to one of the
rear panel digital inputs.
1.8 The NDS is able to control some Naim preamplifiers, CD players and the Naim DAC using its System Automation feature.
System Automation enables, for example; preamplifier inputs to be selected via the NDS, or for Naim App transport
functions to control a CD player. To take advantage of System Automation, connect one of the NDS Remote Out sockets to a
preamplifier, CD player or DAC Remote In socket. Use a cable terminated with a 3.5mm jack plug at one end and a 3.5mm jack
or phono plug as necessary at the other end.
2. Switching On and Getting Started
