Naim NAIT XS 2 Integrated Amplifier

The next step up the performance ladder from the Naim Nait 5Si, the all-new Nait XS 2 packs more power than ever before, but it can still display a delicate musical approach when the music requires. With 70 watts into eight ohms available, the XS 2 is dynamic and full of expression and can drive almost all loudspeakers on the market to realistic levels even in the largest rooms.

In addition to increased power reserves, the XS 2 has a number of other internal refinements designed solely to increase the fidelity of the audio signal as it passes through the amplifier to the speakers. A new ceramic heatsink is much more efficient at dissipating excess heat from the output transistors, thanks to the increased surface area exposed to the air due to its micro-pore surface structure, giving the amplifier less thermal distortion and greater long-term reliability.

Six line level analogue inputs are featured on the rear panel, where connections can be made either by RCA phono or 5 pin DIN. All inputs are isolated and switched by precision reed relays, the coils of which are fed from very low noise constant current sources, which virtually eliminates any undesired crosstalk to the audio signals. The audio circuitry has a number of custom film capacitors in series and parallels with the audio signal to improve sound quality. A multi-layer military grade printed circuit board now houses virtually all components except the massive capacity toroidal power transformer, leading to much shorter critical signal paths.

The Nait XS 2 retains the slim, elegant alloy casework of its predecessor, which helps eliminate the transmission of any environmental electromagnetic interference or radiation, keeping the signal paths free from noise and hum.

A front panel headphone socket is fed from its own dedicated, discrete component class A headphone amplifier with zero crossover distortion, enabling users of headphones to enjoy their full performance without needing to purchase an external headphone amp.

As you would expect from a well-conceived Naim product, there exists a number of power supply upgrade options which elevate the XS 2's performance further - your choice of the FlatCap XS, Hi Cap and Super Cap can be added at any time in the future to keep the music reproduction improving.

Naim Audio ND5 XS 2 Network Streamer

The ND5 XS 2 uses Naim's new innovative streaming platform. Some of the key features on the ND5 XS 2 is: streaming, AirPlay, built-in Chromecast, Bluetooth (apt x HD), Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Roon compatibility, Internet Radio and multi-room streaming - alongside digital and USB inputs for conventional connections; this makes the ND5 XS 2 one the most versatile streamers to match Naim's integrated amplifiers.

The Technology & Craft

The streaming section of the ND5 XS 2 uses Naim's latest network card which features low-noise, high-speed low voltage differential signalling to route the digital audio signal. The benefits of having such a high-speed signalling are that it makes it capable of decoding all HD audio formats up to 32 bits/384kHz or DSD128. The Data is integer-over-sampled in a SHARC DSP to an outstanding 40-bit accuracy before it's fed to the PCM1791A Burr-Brown digital-to-analogue converter. The development of the new streaming platform was one of Naim's biggest projects, three years it took to create a system that could make the most of online services such as TIDAL, Spotify whilst adding future-proof flexibility through Chromecast built-in.
