Naim XS3 or Elicit-R to replace ELex-R

I'm also interesested in this question...I'm also considering Moon 240i, moon 250i and a used Naim supernait 2 for my Dynaudio Special forty. 

I own the Rega Elicit-R. Not sure how it compares to the Elex-R, or the Naim unit, but I love mine. I bought it used, at a bit more than 50% of list, and find it to be a great value. I've owned integrated amps from Musical Fidelity, Plinius, Arcam, Anthem, Bryston and probably a few I don't remember. The Rega Elicit-R has been my favorite.

The Rega Elicit-R seems to be built like a tank. If you are interested in it, I would suggest you purchase a nice used unit and save yourself some money. 

I have those focus 110 - incredible speakers.

The more power you can give them, the better. They actually need more than the focus 160.

I'd love some comparisons between the Elex-R, the Elicit-R and the XS3 myself.   I've seen comments about the Elicit-R being too 'incisive' or 'lean' or 'bright'.    I'm a big Rega fan but not keen on 'hyper-detailed' gear.   If I wanted that I'd get a class D amp.  

I used to own naim nac 152xs and nap 155xs. One of the replacement i considered was a rega elicit r. The naim gives
bigger wider soundstage whereas the elicit r have a more
3d presentation, rega also have a lower noise floor. Naim will give you a wall of sound akin to a live music, it is big and fast sounding;
 rega is more detailed and should have been fantastic if
not for its “small voicing” presentation.

rega also runs very hot.
