NAIM SuperNait 3 Review

I thought the clue of the original Supernait was the included DAC. Difficult to argue nowadays why not to include a DAC into an integrated.

They now include a Phonostage in the new SuperNAIT 3.

I saw that. Of course as a Vinyl Junkie I like that [emoji3].

I think the opposite -- that it's easier than ever to dissociate the dac from the integrated amp. Dac technology moves far faster than analog amplification technology.

And Naim have a nice streaming 'front end' platform now. To put a dac in it, but not the streaming front end, doesn't really fit. Naim do not offer a dac-less streamer source. Naim do offer a preamp/streamer/dac combo, the N272. It gets excellent reviews.

I would also prefer streaming/ DAC capabilities. Agreed on that one.

The N272 streamer/preamp is quite nice. It's the only piece of Naim gear that hasn't had its streaming end updated. Whether there is an update coming - who knows. But it gets great reviews as it is. But needs an optional external power supply to really be its best.
