• Naim NAC 282 with NAPSC, SuperCap DR and NAP 250 DR Overview – This reference-level Naim system combines the NAC 282 preamp, NAPSC supply, SuperCap DR energised power delivery, and the solid-state Class A/B NAP 250 DR amplifier for outstanding musical authority and refinement.
• High-Resolution Preamplification – The NAC 282 benefits from dual power inputs, with the NAPSC handling control circuitry and the SuperCap DR providing ultra-stable regulated rails, dramatically lowering noise and enhancing microdynamic clarity.
• NAP 250 DR Drive & Precision – Featuring Naim’s DR (Discrete Regulator) technology and robust Class A/B output stage, the NAP 250 DR delivers exceptional timing, grip, and dynamic swing, ensuring precise control over a wide range of speakers.
• Synergistic System Performance – Together, the NAC 282, NAPSC, SuperCap DR and NAP 250 DR form a highly coherent amplification chain, producing expansive soundstaging, powerful rhythmic expression, and Naim’s signature PRaT (pace, rhythm, timing).
• Dimensions – NAC 282: 432 × 87 × 314 mm; NAPSC: 121 × 57 × 187 mm; SuperCap DR: 432 × 122 × 374 mm; NAP 250 DR: 432 × 90 × 314 mm.
• Weight – NAC 282 approx. 7.0 kg; NAPSC approx. 2.1 kg; SuperCap DR approx. 14 kg; NAP 250 DR approx. 14.2 kg, all contributing to robust mechanical stability and low-noise operation.
At S$13,800, this like-new Naim SuperCap-DR is ambitiously priced, sitting well above the 75th percentile of S$10,288 and the median of S$7,495 from 11 recent SGD listings; it exceeds even the top end of the observed market range. While new units historically commanded higher prices (often £3,795 or ~€4,000, roughly S$6,500–S$7,200 converted), the current asking price is nearly double the median used value in Singapore, making it a tough sell unless original-owner pristine condition and full accessories are guaranteed.
The SuperCap-DR remains a top-tier power supply for Naim’s DR-series amplifiers, delivering noticeably cleaner bass, tighter dynamics, and reduced noise compared to standard caps. Its DR upgrade includes new smoothing capacitors and a refined regulation circuit, offering meaningful sonic upside for serious Naim owners. If this listing truly is like-new with original cables, box, and documentation, it could justify approaching the high end—but at S$13,800, buyers should expect absolute perfection and negotiate toward the S$10,000–S$11,000 zone to align with fair market value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.
The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.
Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
