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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAIT XS 3 can be upgraded with our external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"productSectionContainerTitle\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology \u0026amp; Craft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productSectionContainerTitle\"\u003eThe upgrades in more detail:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-product-features-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-product-technical-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaim's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput impedance is 47kohms in parallel with 470F capacitive loading;  the gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"productSectionContainerTitle\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productSectionContainerTitle\"\u003eWith Naim's typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the NAIT XS 3 benefits from the following features:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-product-features-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A headphone amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlps Blue Velvet volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReed relay input selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic insulators for the power transistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanically isolated microprocessor control section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophonic-isolating PCB mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Naim Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57958357500291,"sku":"13454","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/13454-1NaimNAITXS3MainSoundcraftHiFi.jpg?v=1777727718","url":"https:\/\/www.soundcrafthifi.com\/products\/naim-nait-xs-3-integrated-amplifier","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
