Technology & Craft

SUPERNAIT 3 includes a Class A preamp output stage which doubles as a headphone amplifier. Ceramic heatsink technology minimises capacitive coupling between the chassis and output transistors for optimum sound quality. Its inputs are each individually decoupled and hand-wired to minimise noise and interference while internal switching employs ultra-low-noise, constant current sources which are derived directly from the electronic design of the flagship NAC552 preamplifier.

Set at the core of every SUPERNAIT 3 is a custom-designed toroidal transformer featuring seven separate windings. This can be further upgraded with Naim’s external HiCap or SuperCap power supplies. Even the analogue delights of vinyl are yours to explore: simply add a StageLine or SuperLine phono stage. The SUPERNAIT 3 doesn’t miss a trick or a beat.

It doesn’t miss any music either. The SUPERNAIT 3 is never fazed by the demands of either speaker or music. It simply delivers dynamic, detailed and engaging music that can’t fail to move you.
