Description :
The Naim Audio NAC112X is an entry-level preamplifier of Naim Audio which matches well with the NAC150X power amplifier that falls squarely into an 'exciting and stimulating' camp. In fact, when first listening to this combination, it's hard to believe that they are entry-level offerings as they seem far more composed and effortlessly informative than any 'starter' combination has any right to do. It is an upgrade to the 112 with improvements including a new main board design for improved performance, a new display PCB using SMT (Surface Mount Technology) for lower noise, an RC5 socket for easy external remote control without line of sight, an optional RS232 connector for external system control. Volume and balance are controlled via a sophisticated discrete resistor ladder to optimize sound quality and channel matching. Time aligned filter networks, star earthing and optimal circuit layouts have all been carefully designed using the latest CAD technology and extensive listening tests. The NAC112X can even be upgraded further and explore its fullest potential by drawing the power of an external power supply unit like the FlatCap2. There is also a very low level of resonance because the internal layout of PCB and casework are isolated from the surroundings and damaging vibrations. Although there will be a little play when plugging in connections, it is intended to be there and will not pose too much of a problem to be concerned about. The only drawback is that it takes some time to run in and to be heard at its best.
The Naim Audio NAC112X allows music lovers to get up close and personal with their favorite musicians and bands thanks to its powerful and engaging sound and fantastic timing. With a wonderfully evocative and natural sound, the preamplifier enables music enthusiasts to listen to each and every musician’s contribution to the very last note. The sound is stunning, very clear and has superb depth in its soundstage. It gives a sharper and a more forward presentation than the original NAC112. Dynamics are effortless, not a hint of compression. The Naim Audio NAC112X will create delightful and emotional experiences for its listeners to enjoy for decades.
