Naim’s latest award winning Nait XS3 now with built in moving magnet (MM) phono stage for vinyl playback. On demonstration.

In the six years since the last NAIT integrated amplifiers were released, Naim Audio’s research and development team have worked on a range
of amplifier improvements. The NAIT XS 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.
The NAIT XS 3 offers much of the performance of our reference quality SUPERNAIT 3 in a simpler, slimmer package combining a 70W power amplifier with five analogue inputs plus a phonostage. Its high performance preamplifier stage is as transparent as you would expect from a Naim Audio amplifier, and it also shares the single-ended class-A headphone output of its larger sibling.

With Naim’s typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the NAIT XS 3 also benefits from the following features:
• Alps Blue Velvet volume control
• Reed relay input selection
• Ceramic insulators for the power transisitors
• Galvanically isolated microprocessor control section
• Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts
