• Power Output: The NAP 300 DR delivers 90 watts per channel into 8 ohms and can handle prolonged output into 2 ohms with no discernible impact on performance, showcasing its stability and power capability.
• Two-box Configuration: This design minimises electromagnetic interference by housing the amplification circuitry in one box and the power supply components in another (300 PS). This separation is akin to its more expensive sibling, the NAP 500.
• Transistors: It utilises Naim’s custom NA009 transistors, which were first developed for their flagship Statement amplifier, offering high current capability (up to 80 Amps and 350 watts per transistor) without the need for parallel transistor pairs, thus reducing sound degradation.
• Discrete Regulator (DR) Technology: The NAP 300 DR includes Naim Audio’s DR technology for providing a smooth, stable power supply which is crucial for audio performance, contributing to the amplifier’s purity of tone.
• Cooling: A variable speed, virtually noiseless cooling fan is mounted on a large internal heat sink to ensure long-term stability and handle high transient loads, capable of swinging 500 VA.
• Connectivity: The amplifier offers two XLR inputs for balanced audio connectivity and features 4mm banana plug speaker cable connections. The power supply unit connects to the amplifier via special Burndy cables.
• Physical Characteristics: Each unit has dimensions of 87 x 432 x 314 mm (excluding the 300 PS), with a shipping weight of 12.6 kg (excluding the PSU).
• Aesthetic and Build: The NAP 300 DR sports a black powder-coated case with a brushed and black anodised front, reflecting Naim’s commitment to both functional and aesthetic quality.

The NAP 300 DR is often praised for its ability to deliver immense power without sacrificing speed or agility, providing levels of detail and musicality that are highly appreciated in the audiophile community. It’s also noted for its compatibility with a broad range of speakers, indicating its versatility.
