Naim XP5 XS Power Supply

Naim XP5 XS Power Supply

The XP5 XS is a slimline multi rail separate power supply that can be used to upgrade Naim’s digital products: the ND5 XS, NDX, HDX, CDX2 and DAC. The XP5 XS also features a large toroidal transformer bespoke to its design, ceramic couplers for low capacitance and large smoothing BHC Reservoir capacitors. The XP5 XS is hand wired and fitted with sockets selected and engineered to help minimise microphony.

The significance of the power supply in high performance audio electronics has always been central to the Naim engineering philosophy. Our enduring SuperCap, HiCap and XPS designs, for instance, stand as examples of the power supply's vital role, and Naim performance upgrades are in many cases enabled by the addition of an external power supply.

The development of the slimline ND5 XS network player provided the motivation for a new power supply that would serve both as a significant optional upgrade to that product, but also have applications throughout the Naim range. That power supply is the XP5 XS. The XP5 XS is a very high performance multi-rail power supply that borrows significantly from the Classic Series XPS. In addition to its application to the ND5 XS, the XP5 XS is able to power the CDS, CDX and CDX2 CD players, the HDX hard disk player, the NDX network player and the DAC digital to analogue converter. With such a wide range of compatibility, the XP5 XS can cost-effectively unlock numerous performance upgrade paths throughout the Naim range.

The difference wrought by an enhanced power supply is immediate and indisputable, and partnered with any of its compatible source products the XP5 XS will undoubtedly bring yet more performance and music to your Naim system.
