Naim Audio NAIT XS 3

Building upon the legacy left by Naim's NAIT XS 2 integrated amplifier, the brand new NAIT XS 3 promises to be an upgrade in every way. Unlike the NAIT XS 2, Naim's new XS 3 features a built-in high-performance phono stage, making it the perfect partner for turntables, as well as CD players, Streamers or any other music source. The NAIT XS 3 manages to offer performance akin to their reference-quality SUPERNAIT 3, in a simpler, smaller package. With six years between the release of the XS 2 and XS 3, Naim has made sure that their new release is well worth the upgrade, whether you are a new or existing Naim customer.

What are the upgrades?

• Naim has doubled the speed of the voltage gain stage, which has, in turn, doubled the rate at which the output stage can react. Leading to a faster reacting, more articulate sound.
• The second gain stage transistors have been optimised. Meaning that they no longer require shielding. Removing this shielding means that less amplifier stabilisation is required. Resulting in a doubled slew rate, delivering uplifted sound quality.
• The phono stage circuit is derived from Naim's high-end phono stages, comprising of three stages; the gain stage, passive equalisation and then the final gain and active equalisation. This phono stage achieves excellent performance, with ultra-low noise and fantastic dynamics.
• The NAIT XS 3 also benefits from Class A headphone amplification, Alps Blue Velvet volume control, Reed relay input selection, Ceramic insulators for the power transistors, A galvanically isolated microprocessor control section and Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts.
• "These (NAIT XS 3 & SUPERNAIT 3) are the best sounding integrated amplifiers Naim has produced, now with added love for vinyl. Major performance upgrades mean you'll hear more from your music, whatever format you're listening to" - Charlie Henderson, Naim Audio MD
