Just to get a taste of a Naim DAC, you can try a DAC that's in the SuperNait. Altho, I assume a stand alone unit would be even better considering the price.

I preferred it over the Lavry DA10. ( playing HDX ripped files via an HDX )

 

[SleepyOne]

Should be better as it suppose to be better than CDX2 or HDX.

I also heard the Naim Uniti (£1995) at the shop but wasn't very impressed, it is jack of all trade master of none.

I haven't dealt with a Uniti, but was it at least on par with Nait5i-2/CDi-2 ?

 

[SleepyOne]

No idea, but suspect not. The shop demo Uniti with naim speaker and the combo was pretty weak (in fact bad). Really need an A-B comparison to know for sure. However, given the lost of power on the CD section on Uniti (as it does so many functions) I doubt it will be as good.

Oh dear.

Does the Uniti have a digital input?

I am leery of All-in-One type of unit ( for one thing I would think it's noisy ) but at least it should retain the Naim voicing.

Here is the flyer:

As for All-in-One, I too would steer well clear - personally for the price I would go for cheaper separates from other companies and get better result.

My Naim dealer didn't like it when I said "ooo a Naim midi hifi!" :-D

 

[SleepyOne]

Fair comment/description.

I thought I was alone in my disappointment with Naim's recent integrated amps. What happened to the mid-range? At least my ears are still working somewhat.

 

[DejanM]

I listened Naim Uniti on Munchen HiFi show but I can't really say much about it, because the presentation was about new Naim Speakers and Uniti was presented only briefly.

This unit has digital inputs and from the basic idea it is a good move by Naim. It will be very usefull for those customers who like to have it simple and all-in-one unit.

I personally would like to see Naim unit exactly as Uniti but without amp section. Universal tuner, external DAC, WLAN Client and headphone amp are things that I would like to have ... But ... I still though hope that Naim will make a simpler WLAN HDD Client which will cost considerably less than HDX.

Detail of Naim DAC is out, here it is:

Finally heard the DAC at the Rocky Show.

It's very nice.

 

[rosgr63]

With the DIN output is this a Balanced DAC?

 

[kuma]

All Naim products are single ended and the DAC is equipped with a set of DIN and RCA analogue outputs.
