SUPERNAIT 3
Integrated Amplifier
The SUPERNAIT 3 has undergone significant performance improvements, including the integration of a phono stage, making it the ideal partner for turntables, as well as streamers, CD players, or any other music source you wish to enjoy with Naim’s signature sound.

POWER AND MUSICALITY
The latest NAIT integrated amplifiers are the result of six years of research and development, where the focus was on improving the amplifier sections to deliver an even more engaging and intimate musical experience. The SUPERNAIT 3 is equipped with upgraded power amplifiers, which are perfect for driving loudspeakers or headphones. It also features a built-in phono stage, making it an ideal choice for turntables.
A CONCENTRATE OF TECHNOLOGIES
This device features a Class A preamp output stage that also acts as a headphone amplifier. It uses ceramic heatsink technology to minimize capacitive coupling for optimal sound quality. The inputs are individually decoupled and hand-wired to reduce noise and interference. Additionally, it uses ultra-low-noise, constant current sources for internal switching.


TECHNOLOGY & CRAFT
Over the years, our R&D team has made significant upgrades to this product. The voltage gain stage speed has been doubled, which results in a corresponding doubling of the rate at which the speaker output stage can react. The second gain stage transistors have been optimized, and they no longer require shielding by a cascode stage transistor. This change has led to less amplifier stabilization that has doubled the slew rate and improved sound quality.
FEATURES
With our meticulous attention to detail, the SUPERNAIT 3 includes features that deliver an authentic musical performance:
• Class A headphone amplification
• Alps Blue Velvet volume and balance control
• Reed relay input selection
• Ceramic insulators for the power transistors
• Galvanically isolation of control and audio circuits
• Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts


ADVANCED FEATURES
Upgrading from the NAIT XS3 to the SUPERNAIT 3 comes with advanced features that improve the sound quality. These features include a full 24V DR module built-in, which uses Naim’s Discrete Regulation technology to provide purer power and better performance throughout the pre-amp stage. A larger toroidal transformer in the power supply delivers greater power and faster recovery, while additional leaded through-hole components in the signal path minimize negative effects of vibration and transient thermal conditions. The chassis-mounted input sockets are hand-wired to the circuit boards to offer enhanced vibration isolation, and the full Alps Blue Velvet balance control ensures a balanced sound output.
