Naim Uniti Atom Streaming System
Naim Audio, as usual have gone to remarkable lengths to maximise the sound quality from such a compact all-in-one player but then again replacing UnitiQute was never going to be easy. Starting with the substantial mains transformer guaranteeing a rock steady power reserve to the sophisticated, hand-wired analogue and digital circuitry, every single piece of the design in Uniti Atom has been considered for its effect on sound quality.
Uniti has been developed from the ground up with a completely new, extremely powerful and versatile streaming board. This innovative new platform is much more powerful than its predecessor. It is equiped with substantial memory and is adaptable to new technology effortlessly. It also seamlessly integrates with other network-connected Naim systems, including the Mu-so wireless music system.
Uniti Atom uses a powerful 40-watt A/B-class amplifier with technology taken from the iconic NAIT integrated amps. They have also installed the largest power supply possible as well as the finest-quality SMD circuitry and premium Burr Brown DACs to deliver the unique Naim pace, rhythm and timing that they are renowned for.
The latest Uniti all-in-one players include the very latest Wi-Fi technology with the superior Wi-Fi processor supporting 2.4 and 5 GHz, alongside a much better internal buffer and memory creating a much more stable network connection.
Uniti Atom allows you to connect an external USB-connected drive so you can store up to 20,000 tracks and play them back through your all-in-one player. You can also use your Uniti Atom to serve music to up to four network-connected players in a multiroom system.
The new intuitive Naim App gives you effortless and intuitive control over individual or multiple Uniti products. You can access all of your music, including your favourite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, or explore artist discographies and biographies.
The Uniti Atom features a full-colour 5” LCD glass display with a proximity sensor that wakes up on approach, accompanied by a bidirectional intelligent remote control that works in harmony with the unit’s volume control should you not wish to use the free Naim App.
Naim continue to offer upgrades and enhancements to their existing product line-up and 2019 brings the addition of Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility. This will be enabled across the full new Uniti range via a firmware update for existing units. AirPlay 2 brings with it highly advanced multiroom audio capabilities and natural voice controls via Apple’s Siri virtual assistant.
Conceived and built from the ground up by Naim engineers and designers in Salisbury, England, Uniti remains true to their core design principles. From the finned aluminum heatsinks (inspired by the Statement flagship amplification system) to the brushed black aluminum casing, the new illuminated signature volume control and the beautifully lit base – every minute detail has been considered to deliver a beautiful aesthetic packed with features and technology whilst achieving reference-level sound quality.
