The 555 PS is an essential partner to the CD555, and is included in its £18,345 price, but the 555 PS can also be purchased separately.
It has an equally important role as an upgrade to the XPS and XPS2 power supplies, for those using Naim CD players such as the CDX2, CDS2 or 3 models or the HDX.

Indeed, one could argue that the 555ps supply is the more interesting component from a practical rather than a glamour perspective, because of its applicability to provide upgrades for the above lifting the performance of those products substantially and giving a new lease of life.
The 555ps looks very like an XPS from the front, apart from the silkier, shinier surface finish reserved for 500-series components. The 555ps has two multi-way Burndy sockets, so that separate leads are used to connect the analogue and digital supplies to CD555; however only one Burndy lead is used to connect to CDS3, CDX2 et al.

All the trademark improvements are in evidence; timing, dynamic range and clarity significantly improving understanding of complex musical passages bringing far more involvement and enjoyment to the music but there is also an increase in depth perspective and sound stage. A greater solidity to the lower reaches of organ music, more tuneful, vibrant. The 555 PS is a worthy upgrade for top of the range Naim source components and we thoroughly recommend and audition for music lovers wishing to squeeze more performance from existing equipment.

We provide a generous part-exchange allowance as well as offering the usual attractive delayed payment finance options, please contact Paul for more information.

Features of the 555PS include:
• seven regulated power supplies including separate one for the clock circuitry.
• five secondary windings on the transformer.
• a transformer that is 40 per cent larger than that in the XPS2
• separate dedicated analogue and digital output sockets (Burndy) to minimise high frequency noise modulation of analogue supplies.
• backward compatibility with the CDS3 and CDX2.
• Can be used to enhance the performance of the Naim HDX hard disk player
• a low resonance case with isolating feet.
