5.3 Output connection details
For optimal sound quality we recommend you use the DIN output.
If the XLR or RCA outputs are going to be used they need to be enabled in the Naim App.
If an output is not being used it should be disabled in the Naim App.
If the digital output is being used it needs to be enabled in the Naim App. If the digital
output is being used the analogue outputs will be disabled.
5.4 System automation
When using the NSS 333 with a compatible preamplifier and power amplifier – such
as the NAC 332 and NAP 350 – you can synchronise power on/off and logo brightness
across your system by connecting the NAC 332 with the optical system automation cables
supplied with the NAP 350s.
The NSS 333 and NAC 332 use the Zigbee system to synchronise their functions. Press
any button (except standby) on the front panel of the NSS 333 and NAC 332 to pair them
together, or alternatively, complete the setup wizard using the Naim App.
5.5 Powering up/down
Once all your input and output connections are made, connect the supplied mains lead to
your NSS 333 and to mains power.
You can now power up the NSS 333 by pressing the standby button. If the NAC 332 and
NAP 350's are connected via System Automation they will switch on in sequence.
It is the same procedure to switch off your NSS 333: turn off your NSS 333 streamer –
and NAC 332 and NAP 350's connected via System Automation – by simply pressing the
standby button on the front panel, which will put the NSS 333, NAC 332 and the NAP 350s
into standby. Avoid using a mains outlet switch to turn your amplifier off.
5.6 Standby power settings
The NSS 333 has four power levels: standby, network standby, network standby with an
additional power requirement and powered for normal use.
"Standby" mode has an overall power consumption of less than 0.5W. The NSS 333 can be
woken up by pressing the standby button or from the remote control.
"Network standby" is <2W. The network needs to be connected (either wired or Wi-Fi) so
the NSS 333 can be woken up via the Naim App.
"Network standby with an additional power requirement". The NSS 333 is fully powered
but with the display and logo turned off (it needs to be in this state to power a USB device
or act as a server).
"Powered for normal use" In normal use the NSS 333 uses about 25W.
By default, the NSS 333 is set to 'auto standby' - it automatically enters the appropriate
standby mode after a period not exceeding 20 minutes of inactivity. For the optimum
sound quality set the auto standby period to "Never" in the Naim App so the NSS 333 is
permanently powered up.
5.7 Naim logo brightness settings
You can choose the brightness level of the LED indicators and Naim logo on your NSS 333
in the Naim App. If you are using Naim NAC 332 and NAP 350 amplifiers connected via
System Automation, you can synchronise the brightness of both logos from the NSS 333.
