In the 6 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 5 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 share 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 transistors
Galvanically isolated microprocessor control section
Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts
