TeddyXPS-Plus – Power supply for Naim NDS/ND555 Analog Section (Upgrade Socket #2)

The TeddyXPS-Plus is a power supply that was designed specifically for Naim's Network Players, NDS and ND555, where it will power those players' analog section, in combination with the well-known TeddyXPS powering the digital section. The combination of TeddyXPS and TeddyXPS-Plus, makes for a two-box solution that is fully compatible with 555 power supplies, featuring our superb SuperTeddyReg regulator technology.

Background

The NaimNDS network player can be upgraded in two levels of power supplies:

Level 1: the NDS is powered by the TeddyXPS power supply,  using a link-plug on power supply upgrade socket#2. In this case, the TeddyXPS will power both analog and digital sections.

Level 2, by removing the link-plug, the TeddyXPS will power only the digital section, and the TeddyXPS-Plus will power the analog section, offering the highest level of sound quality at a very attractive cost.

Seperating the analog and digital sections power supplies and using a combination of TeddyXPS and TeddyXPS-Plus is the most cost effective upgrade package to Naim NDS and ND555 network players.

The TeddyXPS-Plus is based on the same regulator technology found in other TeddyPardo power supplies, with extremely low noise levels read here...

The TeddyXPS-Plus can only be used with the Naim NDS and ND555, in a two box configuration along with TeddyXPS or Naim compatible supplies.
