Description
Naim have been building amplifiers for decades, so there is no doubt that the amplifier section of their Uniti range will be able to perform at an extremely high level, but what is most impressive about the Uniti range is the ease at which they can stream a huge array of digital sources. Naim were one of the first hi-fi companies to really delve into streaming and as such have perfected their app whilst others are still way off. The Naim app for iOS and Android is a league above the majority of its rivals.
To say the Uniti range is versatile is a huge understatement. The Uniti Atom features a 40 watt calss A/B amplifier, internet radio, bluetooth, a headphone output, uPnP, Tidal integration, Spotify connect, Airplay, Google Cast, an S/PDIF Digital input, analogue output, HDMI arc, multi-room functionality and USB / SD Card slots.
The Uniti Atom features a substantial transformer, ensuring that the power supply always runs smoothly. It has hand-wired analogue and digital circuitry. Every element of the design in Uniti Atom has been considered for its effect on sound quality.
Uniti Atom features an impressive colour 5” LCD glass display. With the use of a proximity sensor, Atom is able to wake up as you approach the unit. It comes accompanied by a bidirectional intelligent remote control.
On the new Uniti series, Naim have put a lot of effort into improving the wi-fi. It now supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and features an improved internal buffer and memory. It is able to store 5 minutes of information which vastly decreases the amount of dropouts when streaming.
