Know before you buy
While the NAIT 50 honors the iconic chrome bumper aesthetic of the 1983 original, it features updated internal circuitry and modern components. It also adds contemporary conveniences like a 1/4” headphone output and an optical input, which were not present on the original model.
The 25W per channel is designed for high-quality, near-field, or small-to-medium room listening. It is best paired with efficient, easy-to-drive speakers rather than large, power-hungry floorstanders.
Yes, the NAIT 50 includes a dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage. You can connect your turntable directly to the RCA inputs without needing an external phono preamp.
The headphone output is a high-quality addition that benefits from the same fully regulated power supply as the main amplifier stage. It is designed to drive a wide range of standard headphones with the signature Naim musicality.
The NAIT 50 features an optical input, allowing you to connect digital sources like a CD player or a dedicated streamer. However, it does not have built-in network streaming capabilities or a DAC for USB connections.
