NAIM AUDIO CD3 OLIVE SERIES CD PLAYER S/N 96819 (1994) although CD3 launched in 1995 SUPPLIED WITH: PUCK, NAIM SNAIC INTERCONNECT (NA 46), TRANSPORT BOLT AND SYSTEM REMOTE (pre-amp, tuner as well as CD) High end UK manufacturer Naim Audios first affordable CD player for the Olive Slimline series (£898 in 1994). Wrap over aluminum case, tuned suspension. Front loader, which means CD is mounted in a manual swing opening drawer rather than a motorised sled, CD being kept in place with a magnetic puck as in the more expensive Naim top loaders, rather than an internal clamp . All intended to remove a set of motor voltages and magnetic field from the CD player, and isolate the disc from vibration. DAC (digital to analogue converter) is the famous Philips TDA1541 S1 (16 Bit) and the transport is the swing arm Philips CDM9. Analogue output is the standard Naim 180 degree 5 pin DIN socket; there is no digital output on the CD3. There is no power supply upgrade socket either. Display is very simple and functional: track number/timer. Simple set of control options. Excellent quality sound as you would expect from Naim, valued for its analogue virtues. Loads of detail revealed and with the typical Naim pace, rhythm and timing. Fascia and case virtually unmarked, display window very good. No loss of paint or discoloration to buttons.
