Seller's Description

Naim Supercap DR, with full box and packaging.   

The Supercap is the perfect top tier power supply upgrade for your Naim pre-amplifier such as the  NAC 202, NAC 282 or NAC 252. It can also be used also as the ultimate power supply for a Naim Superline phono stage.

You will need the appropriate cables for your box, as the Supercap comes with none.

 

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This NZ$5,995 asking price for the used Naim Audio SuperCap-DR is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of NZ$6,977 from six recent NZD comparable listings, where the median is NZ$11,755 and the 75th percentile reaches NZ$13,657. Even compared to European used prices—roughly NZ$4,200 to NZ$6,700 after conversion—this New Zealand listing offers exceptional value for a unit in unknown condition, making it an immediate buying opportunity for enthusiasts who can verify functionality.

The SuperCap-DR is a revered high-end power supply that dramatically cleans power delivery to Naim DACs and streamers, delivering tighter bass, improved dynamics, and reduced noise. Its rarity as a DR-series component and the fact that it’s listed far below typical market levels make this a standout deal. If the unit is functional and original-owner, the upside is massive; buyers should prioritize confirming operation and checking for capacitor age, but at this price, the risk-reward ratio is heavily favorable.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Naim Audio

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.
