OVERVIEW
The NAIT 5si is our 60W per channel introduction to high-performance integrated amplification.

It engages even the most complex rhythms and demanding dynamics with all the grip and authority you would expect from us. Its clever AV bypass mode, which facilitates an easy co-existence of otherwise distinct AV and hi-fi systems, simply adds to its appeal.
Features

- Four inputs with support for both DIN and RCA connections
- 1/4” (6.35mm) headphone output
- AV bypass mode for simple connection to an existing AV system
Technology & Craft
Decades have passed, but the role of the NAIT 5si is fundamentally the same as its original forebear. So the engineering challenge - to maximise performance whilst maintaining engineering efficiency, quality and reliability - hasn't changed. Amplifier technology has moved on considerably however, and while the NAIT 5si occupies the same position in the Naim Audio range as the original NAIT, its performance might be from a different world.
The NAIT 5si provides four analogue inputs and a 60 Watt per channel power amplifier. It borrows numerous technologies from across the spectrum of Naim Audio products; all dedicated towards maximising its ability to communicate the fundamentals of music. And communicate it does. The NAIT 5si brings clarity, engaging dynamics and, most of all, infectious enthusiasm to every music source and genre.

"Offering a great build quality, a solidity that is a watchword in the industry as a whole, a classic, traditional yet subdued design and a simple, easy-to-use interface, the Naim SuperNait 3 sits like a piece of granite in your hi-fi chain.
And in that chain, it will take control of your entire hi-fi chain by the scruff of the neck and never let go. Providing an assured performance, be glad that this beast is on your side." - The Audio Phileman
Naim Supernait 3 – HiFi Review - Read More
"We like the Naim’s smart-yet-simple look; it has a great build (which happily extends to the remote control, too). There’s no doubting the Nait 5si’s talents; it will shine at the core of any system made up of talented-sounding, like-minded electronics.
We knew it was a class act when we first heard it. It’s been a year since then, yet this hasn’t changed our minds. The competition is tough, but this is a five star performer." - What Hi-Fi?
