In Reply to: RE: one box Naim DAC.... posted by Crazy Dave on January 15, 2015 at 09:45:55
but Naim built their business ( and the house sound ) on their over spec'd power supply.
I could use two of those large power supplies for my CD player. One to power an analogue section and another for digital. To my surprised an addition made a difference.
Here is a separate power supply for one of their amplifier. The transformer seems slightly bigger than the digital PS I've posted on my previous post.

I hope you have a lot of rack space! I have always admired Naim from afar. They are a bit out of my price range, but I bet a Naim rack would make my Spendor BC-1's sing!

Usually split the rack in two. One for power supply and another for audio circuit carrying head unit. Sometimes shelfs are left empty to give enough distance above power supply if a source components are above it.
It's a bit of anachronism now as the trend in hifi has been less boxes and they need to be invisible.
This system only has one source but it's an active 3 way with 3 amps. All the power supplies are away from the head units. Looks like his CD player gets 2 separate power supplies.
I am still a believer that "size matters". It is true that they can do amazing things with small boxes, but you get the best results, to my ears, with the traditional, large power supplies. (Tri-amping helps too!)
