Listen to your sales rep and wait
There is going to be a long break-in period on your new NAIM before it settles down and opens up and performs at its max.
by comparison, my REGA OSIRIS integrated amp / REGA ISIS cdp/ dac driving my REGA R9s and NORDOST FREY loom cables took over 300 hours before they final bloomed at their max. It was also a non-linear pathway more like a series of step transactions.
Similarly my ARCAM SOLO NEO unibox driving my REGA RX1 stand mounts took over 200 hours to settle in.
Patience rules cuz this will be a common breakin journey and not a fast n dirty aha moment .
