NaimUniti - an all for one system

The NaimUniti is Naim’s first all-in-one audio player. It combines a ten-input, 50-Watt x 2 integrated amplifier based on the NAIT 5i, a CD player based on the CD5i, and a D to A converter with an output filter derived from the CD5x. Add a high quality DAB/FM tuner, the ability to play streamed audio files wirelessly from UPnP™ servers or internet radio stations, and separate interface inputs for USB memory sticks carrying audio files, iPods and mp3 players and you can see the NaimUniti has all bases covered; you just need a pair of speakers.

The Uniti has comprehensive coverage of audio formats as well as audio sources. So along with Red Book CD audio, FM and DAB radio, and iRadio streams at multiple bit rates, NaimUniti can play audio files in MP3, Windows Media–formatted content, AAC, Apple Lossless (from your iPod), FLAC and WAV formats. And thanks to NaimUniti’s internal DAC, external digital audio sources, such as satellite TVs or games consoles, are a breeze too. NaimUniti is the audio hub for today.

Versatility is however little use without accessibility. NaimUniti’s coherent and intuitive user interface makes using and navigating around each of its audio sources child’s play. Finding DAB or iRadio stations without prompting; it connects to networks and discovers UPnP™ server shared audio files automatically, and it presents everything via a large clear front panel display. Every CD track, audio file, stream or source is literally just a couple of button presses away.

NaimUniti also works seamlessly with iPod devices. Simply connect an iPod to the interface socket, using Naim’s specially-designed iPod cable: the n-Link, and NaimUniti both takes over iPod control and displays iPod contents. It even charges the iPod battery too.
