If I had the Nova I would look to trade it in towards an even higher quality integrated amplifier or separates.
The Lumin X1 is really remarkable streamer and you can use a switch which has optical ethernet output which will dramatically improve the performance of the X1.
The other thing is that Lumin makes a very nice matching amplifier which might also make a nice package.
What is the rest of your system?
The Lumin is way more transparent and holographic then the Naim NDX combo, the Naim does have a nice warm full bodied sound however the new NDX is much less of the sound of the older Naim gear which isn't as transparent, but has more of the midrange bloom of yore.
