Enormous improvement in the overall system at a reasonable price. RCA jacks if you need them.

You tell me - looks great, sounds great, reasonably priced.

Going from the 112x preamp to the 202 is a much larger step up in quality than the price would indicate. The effect is akin to what might be expected from upgrading the power amp to one that has twice the power and costs twice as much. There were marked improvements in depth, soundstage and detail, but without a trace of harshness. The 202 is also significantly less electronic sounding than the 112x. Music seems to come from nowhere - it makes the speakers disappear. In short, it just makes the music more real and involving. How a volume control and 6 buttons accomplish this, I do not know, but it works. The 202 gives the listener a good taste of the high-end Naim at a very reasonable price and it should definitely be auditioned by those Naim users with a 112 or 112x currently in their system. The 202 must be powered by a Naim 150 or 200 amp or separate power supply, so I assume it doesn't hold much interest for those not using Naim amplifiers.
