Naim NAIT XS 3

In the six years since the last NAIT integrated amplifiers were released, our research and development team have worked on a range of amplifier improvements. The result is upgraded power amplifier sections for NAIT XS 3, delivering greater pace and intimacy to their musical delivery – whether it's driving a pair of loudspeakers or your favourite pair of headphones. The NAIT XS 3 has received significant performance upgrades, including a built-in phono stage, making it a perfect partner for turntables, as well as for streamers, CD players, or any other music source people want to enjoy with the signature Naim sound. The NAIT XS 3 offers much of the performance of our reference quality SUPERNAIT 3 in a simpler, slimmer package combining a 70W power amplifier with five analogue inputs plus a phono stage. 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. The NAIT XS 3 can be upgraded with our external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources. Features With our typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the NAIT XS 3 benefits from the following features: Class A headphone amplification Alps Blue Velvet volume control Reed relay input selection Ceramic insulators for the power transistors Galvanically isolated microprocessor control section Microphonic-isolating PCB mounts Technology & Craft The upgrades in more detail: Our R&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. The 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. The 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. All 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. Input impedance is 47kΩ in parallel with 470F capacitive loading; the gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges Audio InputsMM Phono Input via RCA, 47k parallel 470pF input impedance, suitable for 5mV cartridges Line Level Inputs 130mV sensitivity, 47k input impedance, suitable for 2V Power Amp In DIN Socket Audio OutputsPowered Accessory Sockets +24V for Naim phono amplifier Speaker Outputs 70W per channel into 8 ohms (4mm sockets), 100W per channel into 4 ohms Line Outputs Variable (level) Pre-amp (DIN), Sub (RCA pair) 775mV,

Musical Fidelity M6Si Black

At Musical Fidelity we think of the M6si as being a destination product. The M6si offers such excellent performance, facilities and power that unless you are seeking the most exotic high-end sound quality you would never need another amplifier. We believe it’s that good.Internally, the M6si is configured as 2 independent monobloc power amps with a separate pre amp. It is, in fact, a pre amp with 2 monobloc power amps that just happen to share the same casework. The M6si has 220wpc. It has very low distortion, outstanding noise ratio and extremely flat frequency response. Its inputs are phono (MM/MC), 4 line level, 1 balanced XLR and 1 USB ‘B’ up to 24bit 96kHz asynchronous.The M6 combination of high power, high current and extraordinary stability means that it can drive any loudspeaker with ease.In use it is hard to hear any practical difference between the M6si and other much more expensive amplifiers. In proper blind listening comparisons, the M6si performs incredibly well. If we sound rather enthusiastic it’s because we are.

Description
Specifications

Advance Paris, the French manufacturer of high fidelity presents the latest of its CLASSIC range designed for the demanding music lovers. This new integrated amplifier has numerous technical advantages. We thus confirm our desire to leave nothing to chance and optimize each of the modules that make up this integrated amplifier.

We get a device with many possibilities, operated intuitively, thanks to an ergonomics that can reference, and above all flawless and blameless musicality, all offered at a very competitive price, compared to the huge potential of X- i1100. The X-i1100 has no less than six inputs, including a mobile magnet phono, an asymmetrical and symmetrical CD, a tuner, two auxiliaries and a direct «Amp ln» input. The digital inputs are also numerous: a USB, an AES, and six S / PDIF including four optics.

The outputs have not been forgotten: one dedicated to asymmetrical line recording and one preamplifier output, in order to connect an additional power block to the X-i1100. The X-i1100 can drive any type of passive speaker with its efficient 220W per channel under 8Ω ( 400W under 4Ω €! ) Relying on a toroidal transformer of 700VA and 60000uF filtering capacity. The preamplification stage has been designed with switching relays as close as possible to the inputs.

The DAC has two digital signal receivers: an X-Mos processor and a USB3318 with jitter correction for the USB input and a Cirrus Logic CS8416 for all the others, AES and S / PDIF. The converter chosen, a Burr Brown PCM1796, handles signals up to 192 kHz under 24 bits. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors contribute to the quality of reproduction of this integrated amplifier. Mounted on large heat sinks, the amplifier boards, connected to the output terminals by means of cables with a cross section of 4 mm2, have a triple push-pull per channel, thus three pairs of bipolar transistors NJW0281G and NJW0302G.

The X-i1100 can operate up to 45 W in a mode similar to class A and switches to class AB beyond, when the «High Bias» switch located on the back of the device is activated. Mechanical engineering was also well designed: five compartments forming as many galvanic isolations and contributing to the rigidity of the X-i1100 are integrated into the chassis. Chassis made of steel with black aluminum sides as well as a perforated cover ensures optimum ventilation of the X-i1100.
