The Naim NSS 333 streamer is a high performance network player designed to get the best possible performance from music stored on your Hard drive or from your favorite streaming services.

Integrated services include AirPlay 2, Chromecast and UpnP. You can also stream from hi-res music services such as TIDAL, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz. NSS 333 is also Roon ready and has Bluetooth AptX to stream content from your smartphone or tablet. You can also connect to other Naim devices with Naim’s multiroom connectivity.

The casing is made of anodised aluminium with the latest Naim design and NSS 333 features excellent connectivity with a range of input and output options.

Designed to be an excellent match with the NAC 332 pre amplifier and NAP 350 in a complete Naim system, but of course you can enjoy this streamer alongside other Naim models and other hi-fi separates as well.

Naim experience

Naim engineers have developed some custom electronics to make the NSS 333 a cutting edge product. Only the best possible components have been used. This includes the NP800 streaming card and an exclusive DSP, with an integrated crossover. Moreover, the DAC is high-end and has very precise management of the audio signal.

Naim build and design

Naim forgo any unnecessary adornments and focus on functionality and sound quality. The result is a design both up-to-date and timeless. Premium materials are used, and the colour display does not detract from the classic looks. Simplicity is built in. Buttons are provided for common functions such as standby mode, play/pause and input select. There is also a remote control, and the standby power usage is small.

Good controllability

Control is easy with the Focal & Naim app. This can be installed on any device and will bring all your music sources together. Radio stations, playlists and streaming services can be accessed, as well as artist biographies and discographies. You will also be able to control both servers and Naim streaming products in one app. You can also wirelessly update your system.

Connectivity

You can take advantage of the NSS 333’s onboard DAC via digital inputs which include two optical inputs as well as an RCA and BNC input - all of these are 24-bit 192 kHz compatible. Analogue outputs are comprehensive, with a balanced XLR output, as well as a pair of RCA sockets, and a 5-pin DIN socket. There is also a wired Ethernet connection and two USB connectors.

Case design

Aluminium has several benefits for cabinet design. It is good at shielding sensitive electronics from magnetic fields, thermal instability and unwanted vibrations. The Naim Classic range uses specially chosen aluminium that has good thermal and microphonic properties.

The front panel is made of 20mm thick aluminium billets and the sides form the heatsinks. The top and bottom plates are both 5mm thick. The aluminium is then brushed, sandblasted and anodised. Therefore the beauty is more than skin deep, and the finish will last a lifetime.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
