You are looking at a pre-owned Naim SUPERNAIT 3 integrated amplifier with DAC. It’s serial number is 459498, making it an August 2019 model. The previous owner has decided to accept an offer for a Naim NAC252, SuperCap DR and 250 DR combination, so this amplifier is now available to purchase.
The SUPERNAIT 3 is in superb condition.
Ships in original box with remote control, user-manual and Naim PowerLine Lite mains cable (PowerLine Lite mains cable will only be included if buyer lives in the U.K.). There is also a Euro mains cable which will be included if the buyer lives in Europe.
SUPERNAIT 3Major performance upgrades and now with added love for vinyl.
In the six years since the last NAIT integrated amplifiers were released, our research and development team have worked on a range of amplifier improvements. The result 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 favourite pair of headphones.
SUPERNAIT 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.
It also includes a Class A preamp output stage which doubles as a headphone amplifier and ceramic heatsink technology that 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 NAC 552 preamplifier.
The SUPERNAIT 3 can be upgraded with our external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources.
Features
With our typical obsessive attention to detail all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance the SUPERNAIT 3 benefits from the following features:
~ Class A headphone amplification
~ Alps Blue Velvet volume control
~ Reed relay input selection
~ Ceramic insulators for the power transistors
~ Galvanically isolated microprocessor control section
~ Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts
Step up from the NAIT XS3 to the SUPERNAIT 3 and you benefit from a range of superior features, all designed to deliver even better sound quality:
~ Full 24V DR module built-in: enjoy the purer power and performance improvement of Naims Discrete Regulation technology for the entire pre-amp stage.
~ Larger toroidal transformer in the power supply: provides greater power and speed of recovery
~ Additional leaded through-hole components in the signal path: further minimises negative effects of vibration and transient thermal conditions
~ Chassis-mounted input sockets hand-wired to the circuit boards: offers enhanced vibration isolation
~ Full Alps Blue Velvet balance control
Technology & Craft
The upgrades in more detail:
Our R&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. The 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 an uplift in sound quality. The 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. All RIAA equalisation capacitors and the RIAA resistors 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. Input impedance is 47k in parallel with 470pF capacitive loading; the gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges.

U.K.: Shipping will be by Parcelforce 24 or DPD (next working day service)
European Union: Shipping will be by DPD (2 to 4 working day service, dependent on destination country)
North America: Shipping will be by FedEx Priority (1 to 3 working day service)
Oceania and Far East: Shipping will be by TNT, DHL or FedEx (3 to 6 working day service, dependent on destination country)
The SUPERNAIT 3 operates on 220-240V, 50/60Hz. This is perfect for the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and several other countries. Please check this amplifier will work where you live before buying.
Remember that if you live in a country which does not have 230V (example , the U.S.) you would simply have to either have the Voltage converted or use a ‘step-up’ transformer to convert your native 115V to 230V.
