Naim Supernait 3

Serial: 515565 (2022)

The Naim SUPERNAIT 3 has received significant performance upgrades, including a built-in phono stage, making it a perfect partner for turntables, as well as for streamers, CD players, or any other music source people want to enjoy with the signature Naim sound.

It also includes a Class A preamp output stage which doubles as a headphone amplifier and ceramic heatsink technology that minimises capacitive coupling between the chassis and output transistors for optimum sound quality.

Its inputs are each individually decoupled and hand-wired to minimise noise and interference while internal switching employs ultra-low-noise, constant current sources which are derived directly from the electronic design of their flagship NAC 552 preamplifier.

The SUPERNAIT 3 can be upgraded with Naim's external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources.

With their typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the SUPERNAIT 3 benefits from the following features:

• Class A headphone amplification

• Alps Blue Velvet volume control

• Reed relay input selection

• Ceramic insulators for the power transistors

• Galvanically isolated microprocessor control section

• Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts

Step up from the NAIT XS3 to the SUPERNAIT 3 and you benefit from a range of superior features, all designed to deliver even better sound quality:

• Full 24V DR module built-in: enjoy the purer power and performance improvement of Naim’s Discrete Regulation technology for the entire pre-amp stage.

• Larger toroidal transformer in the power supply: provides greater power and speed of recovery

• Additional leaded through-hole components in the signal path: further minimises negative effects of vibration and transient thermal conditions

• Chassis-mounted input sockets hand-wired to the circuit boards: offers enhanced vibration isolation
