as a server only. It has one simple job to do. Stream a song from the internet and send it to my DAC. Streamers set up this way simply do not have enough of an opportunity to make an impact on a system. Spending $20K or $50K on a music server is foolish and pointless. Digital devices like the WiiM Ultra are so good these days, that there's just not much any company can do to improve the quality of sound from them. The ONE thing that can really help is a linear power supply, and this is where the Teddy Pardo WiiM Ultra combo really shines. Better sounding, by a small bit, than my Innuos ZENith MK3.

Beguiling sense of flow and improves on already excellent deciphering of complex music. Killer value too! Thank you to teddy pardo and his continued excellence

pite it being a signal IC. Have emailed multiple times over weeks to confirm its correct orientation, but never heard back.

tly improved. Soundstage is a smidge wider but definitely more three dimensional. And in general things just sound good. My setup is the Node using internal dac into a Rega Elex integrated amp out to a Hsu Research subwoofer into Tekton Lore speakers. Thanks Teddy Pardo for an affordable upgrade that gives what it promises.

n I get the 82 modified. Highly recommended... There is just so much more control and depth to the sound since the TSC was installed.

punchier bass! I have not compared the sound to a Naim Hi Cap DR, so no direct comparison. But for the money I paid, it's still well worth it! Shipping was immediate and I received it in less than a week, which I was pleased with. I had expected it to get stuck in customs for ages, like usual. Teddy also shipped it with a lower value for duty purposes! (It's the little things!) The one small issue I had, was that Teddy had forgotten to ship one of the din cables. ???? I had taken photos of the all the contents expecting to have to prove it wasn't shipped. But happily not the case. A quick call was made, an apology and the cable was shipped. Also took less than a week... I'll definitely be coming back as I add Naim components to my system! If you're on the fence about getting one of these. Don't be. Just do it!

uple of months later it still amazes me.

ith the build quality and ease of operation. The sound was … ok. It sounded a bit slow and undefined. Bhe EQ was balanced, but everything was a bit grey, and I was almost suspecting my Sehring 703 SE speakers to be the culprit, because the sound was the opposite of what I expected from Naim. The EQ balance was fine, but it sounded a bit „grey“ and „slow“. I did check into the power upgrades on Naims site, but there was only two options: XPS and some other smaller option. The XPS in Naims offer was way too expensive for a power support upgrade, so I was researching for alternatives. A befriended enthusiast, who is also a contributor for a larger german audiophile magazine pointed me towards Teddy Pardo, and he said that the quality was more or less on par with the NAIM units, just a lot cheaper. So I bought the XPS power upgrade from Teddy Pardo and attached it to my system today. I really did not know what to expect, but the results where some pretty obvious and more than subtle improvements of the sound. Its like you suddently set the focus of your manual foto camera right, because it was jsut slightly out of focus. Suddenly the „Grey“ and „slow“ is gone, the sound becomes much more detailed and „3d“, instruments stand out more in depth and are more focused and separated from the rest. Voices have a better articulation, you get a better grasp of accents and breathing techniques of singers, which was all hidden in the grey before. Instruments have more energy, texture and more natural attack and decay of the impulses. Also the Naim 272 finally got PRAT („pace rhythm and timing“), which the NAIM-components are actually famous for. To my surprise, this change was not subtle, it was pretty obvious and it got even better the longer I listened. This is a major improvement for the Naim 272, and while not on the cheap side, definitely worth the money. Why not 5 stars? The only thing I noticed was that the bass seemed to be a tad leaner than before. I really liked my Sehrings bass, and while it is more defined than before, it also lost a little bit of punch and authority. However, this might settle/change, when the burn in phase is concluded, I might update the review (and my rating) when it does. Still, the positive effects of this upgrade outweigh the negative effect BY FAR, so i would definitely do it again. One last thing: Build quality of the UNIT and the Burndy cable is pretty good and on par with whatv you would expect for a unit for this price. I can‘t believe the price that NAIM charges for an XPS and burndy cable, so I can recommend to turn to Teddy Pardo for an alternative with a much better cost/price ratio. Shipping took approximately a week by the way, customs had a few questions which added two more days - all in all a fair time for a paket from Israel to Germany.

ole new level and for a fraction of the cost of a NAIM unit, without the worry of having to have it recapped at a later time. Teddy Pardo power supplies are simply a no -brainer as well as an excellent value for anyone who has NAIM gear which requires an outside power supply to get the maximum performance.
