The Naim Audio Supernait 3 is an integrated amplifier that combines an 80W power amplifier with six individually decoupled, hand-wired inputs supporting DIN and RCA connections. It features a built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage, Class-A headphone amplification, dedicated subwoofer output, and technology from Naim's flagship NAC 552 preamplifier, including Discrete Regulator (DR) circuits in the power supply. Additional upgrades include ceramic heat sink isolation, reed relay input selection, Alps Blue Velvet volume control, galvanically isolated microprocessor control, and microphonic-isolating PCB mounts. It supports external power supplies, power amplifiers, and cabling upgrades. Production has ceased due to supply issues, but Naim has reserved parts for servicing existing units.
