About the NAC-N 272

The Naim Audio NAC-N 272 is a solid-state network streamer, DAC, and digital preamplifier that combines Naim's latest innovations in digital audio technology with classic analogue preamplifier engineering. It serves as an ideal choice for those seeking the convenience of a single-box streaming system with iOS and Android app control while maintaining hi-fi separates performance. The unit features a high-quality preamplifier with digitally controlled analogue volume control derived from Naim's flagship Statement NAC S1.
