Revised power stage

The NAIT XS 3 delivers 70 W into 8 Ω. Compared with the 2013 NAIT XS 2, the voltage gain stage runs twice as fast, which doubles the reaction speed of the output stage. The second-stage transistors have been optimised, removing the cascode transistor and reducing the stabilisation required.

Front panel with volume knob and seven selector buttons

Built-in MM phono stage

The three-stage phono input accepts 5 mV moving magnet cartridges, at 47 kΩ and 470 pF. The RIAA equalisation capacitors are through-hole film types, chosen for their low microphonic pickup. Equalisation extends beyond the audio band and the overload headroom stays wide.

Rear panel with DIN and RCA sockets and speaker terminals

Five line inputs

Four inputs take either RCA or 5-pin DIN (CD, Tuner, Stream, AV), and a fifth DIN input is reserved for Aux, with a sensitivity of 130 mV. Two fixed-level DIN outputs, an RCA subwoofer output and a variable-level DIN preamp output make it possible to add a power amplifier. Updates go through the Mini-USB B port.

Class A headphone output

The 6.35 mm headphone jack is driven by a single-ended class A amplifier. Volume runs through an Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer and input selection through reed relays. The chassis measures 43.2 × 30.1 × 7 cm, weighs 8.5 kg and is operated with the NARCOM-5 infrared remote control.
