Naim Audio NAIT XS 3 Integrated Amplifier

Yes, the NAIT XS 3 features a built-in moving magnet phono stage, allowing you to connect your turntable directly without needing an external preamp.

The amplifier utilizes Class A headphone amplification, which provides a high-quality, intimate listening experience that is significantly more capable than standard integrated headphone jacks.

The 70W per channel into 8 ohms is quite robust and capable of driving most high-fidelity loudspeakers effectively. If you have particularly demanding or low-impedance speakers, the output increases to 100W per channel into 4 ohms.

The Alps Blue Velvet is a high-grade component chosen for its superior channel tracking and tactile feel, ensuring precise volume adjustments and long-term reliability.

While the NAIT XS 3 is primarily an analog-focused integrated amplifier, it does include USB connectivity for firmware updates, but it does not feature an internal DAC for digital audio streaming.

The NAIT XS 3 offers much of the sonic character and performance of the SUPERNAIT 3 but in a more streamlined, compact chassis. It is designed for those who want Naim’s signature sound in a slightly smaller and more accessible footprint.
