Selling my Naim V1 DACPre-amp. In excellent condition - display still has protective film- with remote control and original box.rHad very little use in 2nd system.rCan demonstrate.
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment, and £500 looks like a strong deal against the recent used spread, sitting well below the £593 25th percentile and far under the £1,285 median. For a Naim DAC V1 in excellent condition, that puts it in clear bargain territory rather than merely “reasonable.”
The appeal here is straightforward: it’s a respected, musical DAC with the sort of timing and drive Naim fans buy for, and the V1 remains a very capable way into that sound without paying flagship money. At this price, the key upside is simple value—if it’s complete and functioning properly, it’s the kind of listing that can disappear fast.
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.
