Hi, I saw the advertisement of the new Naits “introducing the new NAITs with added love for vinyl” and I though “finally the Nait 5 with the phono input” … but no, only for the big brothers. There will never be a Nait 5 with phono input, also as an optional feature?
The original NAIT 5 had a powered AUX2 to easily add and power a Stageline phono stage. The Stageline was an optional extra, just as the phono boards were for the NAIT 3 before. The NAIT XS3 is the NAIT5’s successor and now has just what you seem to want - a phono stage within the same box.
