About this NAC 122X
This is a fantastic example of the NAC122X in perfect working order and excellent cosmetic condition.
Its in full working order with all functions and LEDs working correctly. The main logo lights up without bleed. Cosmetically its excellent with just a tiny mark on the volume control (not noticeable in most lights and volumes). Please see the photos to see how nice this example is.
The remote is also in excellent condition and full working order
It comes with its original remote control, manual (UK language only) and all-important power supply shorting plug (they wont work without this). It also has its original box with full internal foams and cardboard packing.
About the NAC 122X
The NAC122X replaced the somewhat unloved NAC112X in 2006. The reason for the NAC112 and NAC112Xs unpopularity with many was the resistor volume control. Unlike a traditional potentiometer, these volume controls can lack consistency of response and can be unreliable. Naim realised this and used a conventional (and very good quality Alps) volume control in the NAC122X.
The NAC122X also features relay switched inputs, rather than multiplexed ones. This improved sonic purity still further over the NAC112X.
The NAC122X is exceptionally well reviewed and seen as a return to form by Naim, by the Hi-Fi press (take a look at the reviews).
Its ideally matched to the NAP150, NAP150X, NAP155XS or NAP200 but can be used with a wide range of other Naim power amps, too. Like all Naim pre-amps, it doesnt have a built-in power supply so needs matching with one of the above power amps (which will power it) or a Naim FlatCap, HiCap or SuperCap power unit.
It features six line level inputs, all of which use Naims preferred connections via DIN sockets. Alternatively, two RCA phono inputs let you connect up with conventional phono leads. A seventh DIN plug also offers power – designed to be used with the matching Naim phonostages. It also features a subwoofer line level output – a pretty rare feature on Naim pre-amps.
