Hi All,
I want to run a nait3 as an integrated but just get the benefit of adding a Flatcap to it in the simplest way possible with minimal external wiring.
I think what I have to do is solder a 4 pin DIN socket on the preamp board (top arrow position) then this will connect using a SNACI4 to one of a number of 4 pin DIN sockets on the Flatcap then using a SNAIC 5 to connect from the only 5 pin din socket on the flatcap to the Naim CD3.5 PSU Socket (also 5 pin) to have the flatcap supply power to both. I also I think I have to break the jumper (bottom arrow) that is like having the external supplied link plug in the 5 pin socket fitted all the time that is removed when using external power supplies.
Having looked at the 4 pin and 5 pin output socket pins and following them to the tracks on the pre amp top and bottom of the circuit board it appears 24v is connected to 24v in either socket and same for ch1 ch2 and -ve.
What I would like to confirm is having done my research that this is indeed a way to add the flatcap to a nait3. Any advice or confirmation gratefully received.
Best Regards
