Naim is one of those rare audio brands that is able to combine intuitive ease of use with high-end sound quality. The NSC 222 preamplifier is versatile, great to look at, easy to use, and yet is all Naim in its fanatical obsession with high-fidelity music reproduction. 

Access a wide range of music streaming platforms (Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, and more), and a large number of online radio stations, handling sample rates of up to 284 kHz, 32 bit.

The NSC 222 also comes with a MM phonostage, and uses the same headphone listening technology as the Uniti Atom Headphone Edition, meaning it is a fully realized headphone amp as well.
