Naim Audio XP5 XS Power Supply Please find for sale my Naim XP5 XS power supply (Maim ND5 XS Streamer/ Dac listed separately). I am the second owner of this fantastic sounding power supply and it has served me very well. The unit works as new, without fault or issue. It heralds a massive performance upgrade to the stand alone ND5 XS streamer that I paired it with. The Naim burndy cable that connects the power supply to the naim ND5 XS (and other compatible Naim components) is also included in the sale. The original factory packaging will be included and postage can be arranged at buyers exp
At AUD1,995 for a used Naim Audio XP5 XS DAC with unknown condition, this asking price sits ambitiously just above the tight local market range of AUD1,980–1,981 seen in four recent comparable AUD listings—where the median, 25th, and 75th percentiles all cluster there. It's not a screaming bargain, but negotiating down to that median could make it fair for an enthusiast chasing Naim's punchy, detailed sound if the unit checks out.
Buyers should verify the output stage for crackle or dropout issues common in aging XS-series DACs, especially if it's over five years old, and confirm the original remote, power supply, and BNC/RCA cables are included—missing these often signals incomplete service history. Test all inputs thoroughly for digital glitches before committing.
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.
