To recap

Although pricey, we think the Mu-so 2 is worth every penny. The sound quality from this industrial box is second to none, although if you already own the original then the second-gen’s addition of an HDMI port isn’t a huge attraction. Really and truly it’s the sound quality that makes this Naim system so superb - you won’t hear better.
