Naim know-how
Under the leadership of our Technical Director, our engineers have developed innovative electronic circuits to give the New Classic products excellent audio performance. The best components have been auditioned for their audio performance, such as custom polystyrene capacitors. The NSS 333 features a high-resolution 40-bit floating point SHARC DSP for incredible digital precision.
A timeless design
Naim products are designed to be both contemporary and timeless. Our creations forgo any unnecessary adornments that would detract from performance and sound quality. The design of the NSS 333 combines a sleek design, premium materials, a 5.5” colour screen and adjustable logo brightness.
Easy to use
Simplicity is the key. Buttons on the front panel allow quick access to standby mode, play/pause, inputs and favourites. Enjoy the features of the bi-directional ZigBee remote, even without direct visibility of the product. The inputs are configurable, allowing custom naming and removal of unused inputs. The NSS 333 automatically detects no music and after 20 minutes will put the system into 0.5W stand-by mode.
The story of Naim and aluminium – Our founder, Julian Vereker, immediately understood the many benefits of aluminium for wrapping Naim electronic components. He knew that delicate audio components are very sensitive to the effects of magnetic fields, thermal instability, unwanted vibrations, etc.
