The external power supplies make a very big difference with Naim equipment. No need to buy it immediately. Try the amp without it and listen for a while and then try it. I found the difference quite transformative with preamps and CD players.
High-Power DC power supply upgrade for NAIM amp?
I am considering the NAIM SuperNait3 integrated amp and keep hearing about the High-Power DC power supply upgrade.
What is the impact of adding the High-Power DC power supply upgrade to this amp? Is the High-Power DC power supply upgrade a NAIM product or, if not, where can I find it? How much does the High-Power DC power supply upgrade cost?
Has anyone added the High-Power DC power supply upgrade to this amp and what were the results? Did you notice an improved sound quality? Any additional comments are welcomed. Thanks..

The NAIM HICAP DR power supply product is no longer available. The TEDDY PARDO power supplies were designed to replace the Naim FlatCap, HiCap, SuperCap, and XPS power supplies in Naim Audio systems. They provide advantages over the original products at fraction of the cost, they provide cleaner DC resulting in better sound quality, they don’t hum, they are smaller in size, and do not require recapping every 10 years. The TeddyCap Special Edition (SE) – Replaces one HiCap DR. The TeddyCap SE is a high-end power supply, dedicated to Naim’s integrated amplifiers, mainly SuperNait 1..3 and Nait XS 1..3. I also agree with @chayro comments above (amp first and then decide about the power supply). Teddy CAP SE Power Supply Link I emailed NAIM Customer Support asking about their power supply recommendations. |
