 Naim NAIT XS3 Integrated Amplifier 

The NAIT XS 3 delivers outstanding audio performance and sound quality in a minimalistic and elegant design. Its advanced features and high-quality components ensure excellent clarity and detail, making it an excellent choice for audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike. Our team has spent six years improving NAIT integrated amplifiers, resulting in the power amplifier sections of the NAIT XS 3 being significantly upgraded. It provides a more dynamic and immersive musical experience, whether you're listening through a pair of speakers or headphones.

 

Versatile & Reliable 

The NAIT XS3 comes with a powerful 70W power amplifier and five analogue inputs, as well as a phono stage, making it a versatile and reliable choice for any music lover. Its preamplifier stage is incredibly transparent, ensuring that the sound is pure and precise. 

Additionally, it features a single-ended class-A headphone output, which is ideal for private listening. The NAIT XS 3 is also upgradeable with external power supplies, power amplifiers, and cabling upgrades, allowing you to achieve the best possible performance from all your audio sources.

 

Technology & Craft

Our R&D team has made significant improvements to the NAIT XS 3 performance. We have doubled the speed of the voltage gain stage, which doubles the rate at which the speaker output stage can react. The second gain stage transistors have been optimised, eliminating the need for a cascode stage transistor, which means less amplifier stabilisation is needed, doubling the slew rate, and improving sound quality.

Our phono circuit topology consists of three stages, which results in outstanding noise performance, extended RIAA equalisation beyond the audio band, and great overload headroom. All RIAA equalisation capacitors are through-hole mounted film designs to provide low microphonic pickup and excellent transient performance. Our input impedance is 47kΩ in parallel with 470F capacitive loading, and our gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges.
