Naim Supernait 3 Integrated Amplifier

 

Naim has taken a design that was already quite refined and bettered it. [The Supernait 3] improves significantly on its forebears in every respect. Given the success of the Supernait that says a lot!
— JASON KENNEDY, HI-FI+

 

In the six years since the last NAIT integrated amplifiers were released, Naim's research and development team has worked on a range of amplifier improvements. The results is upgraded power amplifier sections for SUPERNAIT 3, delivering greater pace and intimacy to their musical delivery – whether it's driving a pair of loudspeakers or your favorite pair of headphones.

SUPERNAIT 3 has received other 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 minimizes capacitive coupling between the chassis and output transistors for optimum sound quality.

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