NaimUniti has an analogue heart. Its NAIT 5
But in parallel with audio quality,it is NaimUniti's immense digital versatility that sets it apart from any other all-in-one audio product. Its comprehensive coverage of audio bases includes audio formats as well as audio sources. So along with Red Book CD audio, FM and DAB radio, and Internet radio 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 with its five 24bit/192kHz-capable S/PDIF inputs, external digital audio sources, such as satellite TVs or games consoles, are a breeze too. NaimUniti is the perfect audio hub.
Versatility is, however, of little use without accessibility. NaimUniti's coherent and intuitive user interface makes using and navigating around each of its audio sources child's play. NaimUniti finds DAB or Internet radio stations without prompting; it connects to networks and discovers UPnP server shared audio files automatically, and it presents everything through a large front panel display that is the model of clarity. Every CD track, audio file, stream or source is literally just a couple of button presses away.
NaimUniti also works seamlessly with iPod models. 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 charges the iPod battery too.
