Up to six devices can be networked at once and controlled via the Naim iOS and Android App and you can also store up to 20,000 tracks locally to a USB drive. FLAC and AIFF files up 24/384 are supported as well as WAV files up to 32/384. In addiition DSD64&128 are supported, though all formats are limited to 48kHz max when sent over the wireless network. There is a built-in 80W/channel Class A/B amp and also subwoofer output and headphone jack. Remote is included and the front panel features a very nice full-colour display panel.
The Naim Uniti Star (above) with similar features as the Nova but 70W/Channel amp, adds CD ripping, fewer analog inputs and a $5,495 price tag. Also available in June.
The Naim Uniti Atom (above) with fewer digital and analog inputs than the above two devices, 40W/Channel amp, no SD card, and a $2,995 cost, arriving in early May.
The Core, $2,595 shown above and available now, is a CD ripper and music storage device with an internal HDD. The Star can also rip and store, but Naim says the Core has a significantly larger database capacity and can rip to NAS and store 100,000 tracks assuming the HDD has the capacity. Naim said it will also issue a list of suggested external drives to hook up to the Core soon so you can expand storage and create backups. The Core can also serve as a standalone file server when connected to a DAC and controlled via the Naim App.
The products look beautiful and nicely designed, and are clearly targeted at getting you up and running with little mess and time invested.
