Details

The TeddyXPS is a power supply which was designed to improve the performance of Naim CD players such as the CDX, CDX2, CDS2, CDS3, the Naim HDX, the Naim ND5XS/NDX/NDX-2/NDS, the NAC272, the Naim DAC, etc. It is compatible with the original Naim XPS/XPS2 power supplies but uses superior circuitry to provide even better performance.

Background

The Naim CDX/2 CD player, the NDX/2/HDX, and the Naim DAC incorporate a built-in economical power supply, but were designed to be upgradable with an external power supply, the XPS, which significantly improves their performance. The Naim XPS uses the same circuitry as the internal power supply, and the main reason for the improvement achived by the Naim XPS is related to the fact that the internal power supply has only three power rails while the external has six. In addition to providing six power rails, the TeddyXPS uses a superior regulation circuitry, the SuperTeddyReg.

The power supply is one of the most important and critical factors in sound quality. As described above, a significant improvement can be achieved, even by simply splitting the power supply to independent power rails. This effect can also be demonstrated by adding a second HiCaps with the NAC82/282. The original XPS uses a basic regulation circuit, the same circuit used in all Naim power supply, which is based on a monolithic linear regulator the LM317 (or the LM337 for the negative rails). More improvement can be achieved by using an ultra low noise power supply such as the SuperTeddyReg. This regulator which was originally designed for the TeddyCap and demonstrated great success was later adapted to be used for the TeddyXPS. For more information about the TeddyCap family of power supplies read here…

The TeddyXPS can be used with the Naim NAC272, NDX/2, HDX, nDAC, NDS, and ND5XS.
The TeddyXPS cannot be used with ND5XS2, as it is not upgradeable.
We can offer a custom version of TeddyXPS that is compatible with ND555, please contact us for details.

Interconnects

The TeddyXPS is equipped with a very high quality Burndy replacement cable. This cable is made of three independently screened cables, each of them is made of PTFE/Silver plated wires. One cable carries the power for the analogue circuits, one for the DAC circuits, and one for the motor and control circuits. Having each cable independently screened gives better separation between them. This cable is included with the TeddyXPS as optional extra.

The Effect

Better soundstage, more detail, extended and more open sound (cymbals last longer), extended and firmer bass, human voices sound more natural, and an overall smoother, and less aggressive and fatiguing sound.

Advantages

  • Better sound quality
  • Smaller size
  • No transformer hum
  • Does not require maintenance or recapping
  • Lower cost

The TeddyCap SE and XPS are performing ubove my expectations. Customer service is excellent and prompt. The new power prototype power cable is performing very well.

I bought a TeddyXPS and a Teddycap SE, The Teddycap was to replace an existing Hicap and the TeddyXPS was to power my NDX2. I have had them both on continuously for a week and OMG, what a difference, I read someone else’s review which complained about the base, no way, the bade is way tighter and refined, takes away any distortion, low piano notes are just amazing. The treble is brighter and overall the sound stage is sharper and more focussed. I can’t recommend these power supplies enough, if I could bolt on any more TP kit to my existing system I would.

On June 13, I received the order package, it arrived one day before the scheduled delivery date. Everything was in good condition and DHL Parcel Service did its job well. The TeddyXPS PSU presents a robust appearance despite its size, It has a very good finish and looks good in the Rack with the whole system. Its finish is simple, a green led light on the front panel and the connectors on the rear panel. The connector for the Burndy cable is of very good quality as is the cable that is supplied with the power supply. The Burndy cable It has a solid appearance, perfectly finished, an arrow indicates the direction of the signal in order to always install it in the same direction, the cable connection fits perfectly in the Burndy connector of the naim NDX 2. These finishes are the result of the excellent performance that TeddyPardo put into their work. Bravo! Before listening I left the power supply running for 15 days. Before listening I left the power supply running for 15 days. This font needs a run time (minimum of 10 days) to show its potential. The naim NDX 2 executed as a single unit works very well. Depth, focus and timing are very good, grain is low and the sound is very expansive. The dynamics are also very good. By itself naim NDX 2 is an excellent player. Adding a TeddyXPS provides a 25-30% increase in overall sound quality. This improvement occurs in all frequency ranges from the lowest to the highest. The low sounds are deep and intense, middle sounds mainly voices and percussion instruments play in another division and the high frequencies are crystal clear, all with extraordinary cleanliness and transparency. Sounds that were previously shown shyly or in a more distant plane are now more present and closer, and you can even hear some sound that you didn't hear before. To get its full potential TeddyXPS has to stay on as long as possible, it gives off heat, it is advisable to place it in an airy place, I have placed it over some oak wood feet, which gives some interesting benefits. There may be listeners who feel penalised when it comes to dynamics, TeddyXPS performs with astonishing cleanliness and transparency. Creating deep blacks, this quota of crystallinity slightly penalises dynamics. This slight penalty is similar to the one that occurs When you connect your system to a power line cleaner, you gain in cleanliness, detail and transparency but you lose some nerve or agility. In conclusion, TeddyXPS is an essential power supply to give naim NDX 2 all its potential that is a lot and places this combination in the excellence of audio. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

    The XPS Mk2 was easy to install and provides a very neutral canvas for the music that springs from it. Mine is powering an NDX 2 and the change is marked. I would describe it thus – it restores the space between the notes where there is supposed to be a space – i find i am listening at a higher volume setting as the sound is just clearer, its akin to moving up to a much better turntable/arm/cartridge. I certainly am enjoying the music that it’s helping to play, and i live on a very varied musical diet. Great value for money

    Extremely happy with the impact that the TP unit delivered to my Naim NDX. This is my 2nd TP unit…the other supports a Bluesound Node 2….had a very good experience with that upgrade so decided to add to the Naim unit.

    As happy as I was with the benefits delivered to the Bluesound node and because the NDX is a significant step-up from the Node, I was not prepared for the impact TP would deliver to my NDX. There is more detail (deeper/higher/wider) the gains in dynamics and pace/tempo are significant. I recently found myself smiling without control when re-exploring some of my music. There is a reason why Naim designs their systems to accommodate the improved power capabilities.
