This particular example benefits from the desirable \u003cstrong\u003eDR (Discrete Regulator) upgrade\u003c\/strong\u003e, bringing it closer to the later factory NAP 250 DR specification and delivering an important enhancement to its power-supply regulation.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaim’s DR technology was derived from development work undertaken for the flagship Statement amplifier and is designed to provide an exceptionally stable, low-noise power supply to the amplifier circuitry. The result is greater transparency and clarity while retaining the qualities for which the NAP 250 has long been celebrated: \u003cstrong\u003epace, rhythm, timing, dynamic authority and powerful, controlled bass\u003c\/strong\u003e. The DR revision of the NAP 250 was introduced in 2015, demonstrating the importance Naim placed on this technology within its classic amplifier range. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its substantial toroidal power supply, robust construction and classic Naim styling, the NAP 250-2 with DR upgrade represents an especially attractive version of one of Naim’s most enduring amplifier designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHiFi and Music Source\u003c\/strong\u003e compared the NAP 250 DR directly with the earlier NAP 250-2 and was highly impressed by the benefits of the DR technology.
