How to connect Hicap DR to SN3

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but could someone please point me to instructions for how to connect a Hicap DR to a Supernait 3? I have the Snaic cables I need. Thanks.

Check the manual or search for “Naim connection guide”.

Switch the amp off
Pull this out - don’t lose it, keep somewhere safe.


You have a snaic 4 and 5. They only fit into the correct socket in the amp and the hicap sockets 3 and 4, so you can’t get it wrong.
They are directional, snaic 4 band on the hicap side. Snaic 5 band on the supernait side.
Switch the hicap on before the supernait.

The snaic 5 will come with the hicap. Having a snaic 4 available is the key.

Many thanks - done.

How does it sound now?

I haven’t done a methodical A/B comparison or spent a ton of time listening to a range of music yet, but my initial impression is that the overall presentation is a little more refined and the bass a little more controlled/defined. I wouldn’t say the difference is night and day, but so far it feels like a worthwhile improvement.
