Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The timing is mixed: the unit is discontinued, so you’re buying into a mature Naim PSU rather than the newest platform, but that also means it’s a known quantity and still a respected upgrade path. At A$550 in excellent condition, this looks fair to slightly good for Australia, broadly in line with recent second-hand pricing once you translate typical overseas selling levels into AUD.

What makes it worth chasing is simple: the FlatCap XS is a well-regarded dual-rail supply that can lift pace, clarity and drive on compatible Naim XS-era components, especially when the rest of the system is already singing. If it’s truly clean, complete with the right leads, and working quietly, that’s the kind of sensible used buy that still makes musical sense rather than just filling a rack slot.

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.
