CD 5i CD player. Refined, forthright and clean, this is a dramatic step up from most current 'mid range' CD players and. The New series two version (itallic "i"), launched in November '07, has made this an even better partner for the surprisingly discriminating Nait 5i. |

NaitXS integrated amplifier This has put the cat amongst the pigeons. The NaitXS was the first of the new XS series and it is a substantial step forward from the Nait 5i. More scale, resolution and refinement. Terrific midrange transparency too. Can come over a little less gusty and more 'cerebral' than its siblings but very engaging and definitely a 'long game' performer that will last many users for ever. Upgrading with the Flatcap or HiCap power supplies is worth bearing in mind for the future. But really, there is no rush. |

NAP 155XS power amplifier The entry level stereo power amplifier. Very impressive indeed and more 'hear through' than the old (and still excellent) NAP150X. The 155XS performs double duties, as part of the both the A/V portfolio and the good old hifi / stereo range. Its natural stereo partner is the NAC 152XS pre-amp (below). |

NAC 152XS pre-amplifier This is Naim's entry level pre-amp. Intended to be used in concert with the 155XS power. With the Nait XS being such a serious performer, the NAC152 needs to be good. Thankfully . . . it is. Unlike its predecessors, it can be upgraded with power supplies on both the audio and control electronics side. The Flatcap has two channels of supply and can do both jobs simultaneously. If you are looking more of what the Nait XS does well (and with more wallop), then the 152/155 combo is for you. Probably the best value in the Naim range. |

CD5XS CD player The first in the range to have the trademark upgradability (via the Flatcap power supply) and a digital output too. A significant step forward from the 5i in terms of resolution, scale and refinement. Pretty well on all fronts, in fact. Adding the Flatcap gives even more of everything. The 5XS is musically rewarding and can be more than justified even with the 5i amplifier. |

NA FlatCapXS power supply This power supply makes a very worthwhile upgrade for the CD5XS and the 152XS preamp. It can also power the Stageline phono stage and the Headline headphone amps. You could end up using more than one of these! |

NA Stageline phono stage The phono stage can be powered directly from any of Naims separate pre-amps. It can also be fed by most of the power supplies, FlatCap, HiCap + Supercap. In addition, and intended to allow use with the Nait 5i, it can be fed from the iSupply. The more we use these stages, the more we respect them. They really do perform to a very high standard. |

Nait 5i integrated amplifier.
With 50 gutsy watts per channel, four line level inputs, remote control and a level of refinement, scale, resolution and sheer spirit that belies the price. Recent revisions (November 07) have led to the series two version (itallic "i") which sounds even better and adds an iPod socket. It is meant to go with the CD5i, but it also rewards choices from much further up the tree. Brilliant!
