The NPX 300 takes over the power supply of a compatible Naim component, which can then concentrate on signal processing alone. Naim presents it as an upgrade for the NSC 222 streaming preamplifier. In standby, consumption stays below 0.5 W.
A new-generation transformer and DR regulators fill the inside of the casing. Naim uses the same DR regulation in its power amplifiers. The manufacturer quotes a cleaner supply and a lower noise floor.
The power supply works with New Classic 200 and 300 Series products, as well as with the NDX 2 and NAC-N 272 using a specific cable. Two Burndy leads are supplied, one Type 3 and one Type 4, together with the Power-Line Lite mains cable. Naim keeps the digital and analogue supplies on separate cables.
The casing uses the thick aluminium plates found across the range, a response to magnetic fields, temperature swings and vibration. The chassis measures 43.2 × 31.75 × 9.15 cm and weighs 14.4 kg. A micro USB socket, reserved for updates, is the only service connection.
