Naim HiCap Power Supply Require a Naim hicap DR Condition: Good Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Neo 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,250 Date: July 28, 20241 yr
At A$1,250, this is well below the A$1,705 25th percentile of recent comparable AUD listings, so it reads as a strong deal rather than a fair-market ask. For a used Naim HICAP DR, that’s a very attractive entry point if the unit is healthy and complete.
The appeal here is straightforward: the HICAP DR is one of Naim’s most respected power supplies, bringing noticeably better drive, bass grip, and musical ease to compatible Naim amps and sources. If it’s genuinely clean and comes with the right cable and paperwork, this is the kind of upgrade that can transform a system for not much outlay. The only real caveat is condition and service history, since a power supply at this level is worth buying carefully.
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.
