Description
The Supercap DR takes the NAC 282 to a new level. And the minor downside is that it empties your pocket in the process.
Far more effective than twin HiCaps on the 282, this is the PSU that you need if you are going to move onto the NAC252. It’s also very good, if rather under-utilised, with the Supernait II. Ideal for maxing out a Superline or, if running active, a SNAXO.
Serious stuff.
As iconic as it is widely acclaimed, the SuperCap DR is a Naim Audio classic, capable of powering every preamplifier in our range except for the NAC-N 172 XS and our flagship, the NAC 552. Its substantial toroidal transformer and high-quality smoothing capacitors combine to ensure improved timing, clarity and dynamic range from your favourite music.
Upgraded with our new DR voltage regulator, this timeless component remains one of the most well know and oft-employed power supplies in our range, and for good reason.
Supercap DR features:
- 13 x 24V outputs, 2 x 12V output
- All-new Discrete Regulator (DR) configuration, delivering Naim Audio’s best-ever standards of stable, low-noise power
- Brushed, black-anodised aluminium chassis
Technology & Craft
Each of the multiple power outputs on the SuperCap DR uses Naim Audio’s specially designed discrete regulators for optimum performance. The SuperCap DR can be used to power all of the Naim Audio preamplifier (except the NAC 552 and NAC-N 172 XS), Superline phono stage and active crossovers, and is the only choice for supplying power to the NAC 252 preamplifier.
Its anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet complement the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.
The SuperCap DR was updated in 2012 as a result of a two year project to develop a new discrete regulator (DR) for Naim Audio power supplies. The new Naim Audio DR now features, alongside improvements to the wire routing, mechanical decoupling and internal layout. These enhancements, developed through intensive listening tests, significantly raise performance and make music even more communicative and enjoyable.
