It comes in original factory packaging, with remote control, mains cable, link plug, manual, and as we (Hi-Fi Sound) are an authorised Naim dealer it will of course feature our standard three month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nNaim Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the six years since the last NAIT integrated amplifiers were released, our research and development team have worked on a range of amplifier improvements.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is upgraded power amplifier sections for NAIT XS 3, delivering greater pace and intimacy to their musical delivery - whether it’s driving a pair of loudspeakers or your favourite pair of headphones.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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 phono stage. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe NAIT XS 3 can be upgraded with our external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\nWith our typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the NAIT XS 3 benefits from the following features:\u003cbr\u003e\nClass A headphone amplification\u003cbr\u003e\nAlps Blue Velvet volume control\u003cbr\u003e\nReed relay input selection\u003cbr\u003e\nCeramic insulators for the power transistors\u003cbr\u003e\nGalvanically isolated microprocessor control section\u003cbr\u003e\nMicrophonic-isolating PCB mounts\u003cbr\u003e\nThe upgrades in more detail:\u003cbr\u003e\nOur R\u0026amp;D team has found a way to more than double the speed of the voltage gain stage, which in turn doubles the rate at which the speaker output stage can react.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe second gain stage transistors have been optimised, so they no longer need to be shielded by a cascode stage transistor. Removing the cascode means less amplifier stabilisation is required: that doubles the slew rate and delivers another uplift in sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe phono circuit topology comprises 3 stages: the gain stage, passive equalisation and final gain and active equalisation. This enables excellent noise performance, extended RIAA equalisation beyond the audio band and great overload headroom.\u003cbr\u003e\nAll RIAA equalisation capacitors are ‘through-hole’ mounted film designs, with low microphonic pickup and excellent transient performance. As phono stages are 1000x more sensitive than other inputs, this greatly benefits the sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nInput impedance is 47kΩ in parallel with 470F capacitive loading; the gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nMM Phono Input: via RCA, 47 k parallel 470 pF input impedance, suitable for 5 mV cartridges\u003cbr\u003e\nLine Level Inputs: 130 mV sensitivity, 47 k input impedance, suitable for 2 V\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Amp In: DIN Socket\u003cbr\u003e\nPowered Accessory Sockets: +24 V for Naim phono amplifier\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeaker Outputs: 70 W per channel into 8 ohms (4 mm sockets), 100 W per channel into 4 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nLine Outputs Variable (level): Pre-amp (DIN), Sub (RCA pair) 775 mV, \u0026lt;50 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nLine Outputs Fixed (level): AV (DIN), Stream (DIN) 130 mV, 600 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nHeadphone Output: 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm) TRS Socket\u003cbr\u003e\nUpdates: 1 x USB mini-B\u003cbr\u003e\nRemote Input: 1 x 3.5 mm Jack on rear\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption (max.): 350 VA\u003cbr\u003e\nMains Supply: 115 V, 230 V; 50 or 60 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption (quiescent): 16 VA\u003cbr\u003e\nCase: Black powder coated\u003cbr\u003e\nFront: Brushed and black anodised\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 8.5 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 432 (W) x 314 (D) x 70 (H) mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51479416537429,"sku":"459989","price":1185.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_1828-scaled_8742ff7a-0031-46ff-a066-254a0e4eb6df.jpg?v=1758212847","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/naim-nait-xs-3-integrated-amplifier-2","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
