TeddyCap Special Edition (SE) Mk2 – Replaces one HiCap DR

This power supply improves upon our highly successful TeddyCap SE, with improvements in the following aspects:

• higher resolution.
• Better dynamics and more defined timing.
• Deep extended bass.
• Sharp focus and wide soundstage.

Just like its predecessor, the TeddyCap SE Mk2 is a drop-in replacement to all generations of HighCap, as well as our own TeddyCap/TeddyCap SE, and uses the same cables.

New design

The TeddyCap SE Mk2 is a completely new design, based on the lessons learned from our highly succesful MiniTeddy Special Edition .
Some design highlights:

• Hi capacity filter bank: using Kemet/Aerovox capacitors with 30,000uF total capacitance.
• Active filter stage, with extremely high noise rejection.
• New “Tedinator” – fully discrete voltage regulator.
• New grounding scheme, with low impedance “Star Ground” structure.

The result is an ultra low noise (noise is much lower than 1uV) and ultra low output impedance – ideally suited for the requirements of Naim’s preamp section.

Interconnects

The TeddyCap SE comes with our unique Koltura cables. These cables are made of multiple strands of pure copper wire, offering a well balanced sound across all across the frequency spectrum, with unprecedented resolution.
The TeddyCap SE includes the following cables:
– Koltura D5 — DIN 5pin 240Deg (compatible with SNAIC-5) – always included.
– Koltura D4 — DIN 4pin to 4pin (compatible with SNAIC-4) – optional extra, required for Naim integrated amplifiers.

I have a Supernait, or Nait-XS (all versions) – what should I expect ?

The TeddyCap SE Mk2 offers a big step forward in sound quality when used with all versions of Supernait or Nait-XS:

• Smoother presentation – cleaner sound, with more finesse, giving a very enjoyable result for the long term.
• Wider and deeper soundstage – the speakers suddenly “disappear”, giving a better sense of “being there”.
• Better defined lows – less muddy and better controlled, without overshadowing the mid-bass region.

Note: Make sure to select DIN4+DIN5 cable bundle when ordering.

I have a NAC-282, which power supply should I choose?

The answer depends on your future plans: if you are planning to change it into NAC252 in the foreseeable future, head to our TeddySuperCap. Otherwise, select a pair of TeddyCap SEs plus separate NAPSC, or a TeddyCap SE and a TeddyCapPlus SE that includes an integrated NAPSC outlet.

Is the SE version available for DualTeddyCap ?

At this stage, the SE version will be only available to the TeddyCap (replaces HiCap) and TeddyCapPlus (replaces HiCap and NAPSC).
Users of NAC-282 can connect 2 TeddyCaps.

Is the TeddyCap SE version compatible with additional Naim products ?

Yes, the TeddyCap SE is fully compatible with HiCap, therefore will work perfectly with a large variety of Naim products, such as Stageline, NAC preamps (except for 52/252) and most integrated amps (except Nait5Si).

What does ‘DR’ stand for ?

DR refers to “Discrete regulator”, meaning no IC-Chips are used.

The TeddyCap has been a Discrete Regulator since day one.
