The NAP 200 has been revitalised and
reintroduced in 2015 with the addition
of a Naim Audio DR (Discrete Regulator)
module to power its partnered Naim
Audio preamplifier. This comes alongside
small improvements to some internal
componentry and layout that combine to lift
its musical performance even further than
the original.
Like the flagship NAP 500, the NAP 200
uses a new circuit design with improved
earthing arrangements built on a very high
quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit
board. Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling
feet serve to protect the sensitive internal
components from microphonic vibration
and unwanted external interference.
A new, top-quality 430VA toroidal
transformer provides more than 300VA of
transient power. Separate windings provide
dedicated left and right channel rectified
power supplies with two smoothing
capacitors per channel. The NAP 200
also has a separate winding providing a
preamplifier power supply. This enables it to
be used in a two-box amplifier configuration
with a Naim Audio preamplifier such as
the NAC 202. The Naim Audio NAP 200 is
stable into any load and can drive a 2-ohm
load for long periods of time.
