Oh well. Anyway itâs on the NAIT 50 page.
Nice 
No DR regs in the Nait 50âŚit just would not fit. DRs double the size of the power amp section.
Not sure where the error has come from. Sorry for the confusion

Yes, a photoshop 
Marketing have done a few like this, theyâll pop out over the weeks

Well this was the general idea from JV years ago when these little NAITs were introduced among a plethora of high powered solid state. Better to have a high current, alive sounding low watt amp than a dead sounding high watt amp.

Hi Robert @robert_h
Yes, new connector blocks, same pins.
These were updated for new classic and included for the Nait 50.
Same spacing
It can take pretty much any speaker cable of any length.
It does sound good on NACA5 and 2M is a good starting point.

I read so much love and hate comments about this little integrated amp in the internet - looks like the launch will be a success for NAIM AUDIO.
yes the price is posh - but why spending 3000EUR for an boutique tube amp?
to me it`s a great brand initiative and I hope the NAIT50 will bring a lot of love into the listening rooms.

Oh myâŚso it is.
It wonât be for long!
Sorry about that everyone and thanks @Musicraft for letting me know
The amp in the Nait 50:
- Itâs a quasi-complementary just like a NAP200, 250, 300, 350, 500 etc.
- It uses power transistors found in 100W amplifiers, one of the reasons it can peak at 225W

Yes, it is double the original price, but this is a celebration and we went to town.
Nait 50 is pack with the audiophile goodness youâd expect to find in a large Naim integrated.
The power had to be capped because of the case size, but the current drive is there.
Naimâs new headphone amp (as per 222, 332 etc)
ALPs blue velvet volume control
Custom made filter capacitors
Fly by wire input selection - selects via reed relays
Soft-start
0.5W standby with music sensing for auto off
External parts were also upgraded compared to the original.
Machined from solid volume knob (damps vibrations to the volume control for better sound)
Brushed anodised front and rear.

Steve thanks for the reply; I donât know whoâs in marketing these days since Ange etc left, the wording in the manual linked online reads pretty strictly use naca5. But maybe theyâre just playing it safe. Iâll see if I can wangle some naca5 offcuts.

If we can use any cable despite what the owners manual states, does that mean connector blocks arenât a must as well?
5 days and over 400 replies. Somehow I missed this thread.
Does this Nait 50 LE sound better than Supernait 3 with easy to drive speakers? Iâm curious to know if itâs more to sound quality or iconic look/status.
I was seriously considering this but then I thought I could get an olive 72/Hicap/250 for less money to go with my IBLs. Despite the new Naim goodness in this little box surely the old olives would still outperform and be a better match with IBLs?

Itâs only the âwant itâ factor on my side.
Have a nait 2 CB (even nicer looking than nait 1 imho) already in my second system and olive 72/hicap/250 as spare ones unusedâŚ
HmmmâŚ

same to me - but placed my order anyway.
it`s a great expensive opportunity imho.

It would be nice if it had more torque and finesse than an xs3. Like the Enleum 23 which sells for x2 the price. In which case I might be tempted.
If that was the case Naim would be foolish to limit production to 1973 units.
In any case by the time a few members take a hit for the team and report back they probably will have sold out.
Reading this thread it seems like more than a few members! 
Sure, an Olive 72/Hicap/250 for less money will outperform the Nait 50 butâŚ
That âbutâ eventually cost me the booking for oneâŚ
