Hi all
I have a question that I can't find answered anywhere else. I recently bought an expert 200 used and I love it. I'm now thinking of selling the Naim equipment that it replaced and my question is. What is the basic reliability of the expert range like? I'm not talking about updates, customer support (which for me has been good thus far) but whether the equipment will last another 10-20 years like my Naim gear has. Thanks in advance, Graeme

I bought my D400 (Dual Mono) in 2016, upgraded to 440-Pro CI in 2018 and today its 2026. 10 yrs have gone by and it's serving its purpose (touch wood!).

Similar here. Bought a D200 in yr 2014, acquired another D200 and went though upgrade path to become D440PRO CI in yr 2017/18. Then I sold the slave and still keep the master unit. From the very beginning till now, they work without a flaw. Wonderful gear. I think the weak point would be the display - it might go wrong someday BUT, like earthquake, U never know when it happens.
