NPX300
Achieve optimal power and performance with the NPX 300 power supply for the 200 Series sources and preamps, including the NSC 222 streaming preamp.

The NPX 300 powers your audio system in a smooth and silent manner, allowing the preamp to focus on its primary task of controlling the signal. In addition to enhancing the performance of the NSC 222 preamp and streamer, the NPX 300 can be used to upgrade several Naim products, offering greater flexibility over time. You can even connect two NPX 300 power supplies to a single preamp or source, with one dedicated to powering the digital sections and the other powering the analogue sections. This allows for even more precise control over your audio system.
Featuring a new transformer and six exclusive Naim power regulators (utilising DR technology, or Discrete Regulator), which provide a cleaner power source for your system. This results in reduced noise and improved sound quality. It is specifically designed to work with the 200 Series products, but can also be used with the NDX2 and NAC-N 272 with the appropriate cables.
The NPX 300 incorporates several innovations from our flagship Naim 555PS DR power supply, including the separation of digital and analogue power supplies using dedicated Burndy cables. This helps to ensure that the NPX 300 is among the best products in its category.
