Class A/B Amplification

Uniti Star uses a powerful 70-watt A/B-class amplifier with technology taken from Naim's iconic NAIT integrated amps. Naim have also installed the largest power supply possible as well as the finest-quality SMD circuitry to deliver the unique Naim pace, rhythm and timing.

Tactile volume control

The Uniti range feature digitally controlled analogue volume controls. Dial your sounds up or down using the buttery smooth and beautifully illuminated, top-mounted volume control, first conceived for our flagship Naim Statement.

Expertly crafted and built to last

Uniti Star is crafted, inside and out, from aluminium – chosen for its looks, durability, and to prevent the magnetic distortion other materials can suffer from. Its casework is first machined with computer-controlled liquid-cooled cutting equipment, for absolute dimensional precision. It’s then brushed and anodised to offer a beautiful yet robust appearance, with a tough, scratch-and-dent resistant design ready for many years of musical enjoyment. Uniti’s thick aluminium walls absorb unwanted vibrations and help protect the core internal electronics from detrimental magnetic influences. Even the mounting of the printed circuit boards to the chassis is controlled to limit the effects of microphony on the precision audio components.

The best components, made better

Uniti players each feature a premium Burr Brown digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), and analogue filter sections and output stages constructed from high-end components. They also have an incredibly powerful new 4th Generation 40-bit SHARC DSP processor, running custom software especially written by Naim. This implements 16 times oversampling and digital filtering, enhancing sound quality even further.

CD Playback & Ripping

Uniti Star allows you to enjoy your entire CD collection, as well as your digital favourites. Create bit-perfect copies of your CDs and save the data to local storage (Uniti Star, Uniti Core) or to internal storage with the optional Uniti Core

Versatile Streaming Options

Uniti Star supports a wide range of streaming and connectivity options including Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth (aptX HD), Internet Radio and UPnP™. Simply connect your device and step into a world of non-stop musical entertainment.

Supports Tidal Connect & Spotify Connect

With native support for both Tidal and Spotify Connect you can browse your favourite artists, playlists and more using the native apps whilst having full control of your Star.

HDMI ARC - Boost your TV sound

Easily connect Uniti to your TV via HDMI ARC, and experience transformed sound quality from your favourite shows, films and games. Control your TV’s volume from its own remote, for a simple life. Uniti’s HDMI connection features galvanic isolation, to ensure that ‘noise’ from the TV power supply or indeed any other devices connected to the TV do not affect the sonic performance when playing any source.

Multiple Digital & Analogue Inputs

Integrate Uniti with all your audio sources using the digital inputs for TVs, set-top boxes or games consoles, as well as analogue sources such as a turntable (phono stage required)

Multiple control options

Master your Uniti Star and explore everything it has to offer via the Naim App. All your listening options – music streaming services, radio, and more – are just a touch away, and it is simple to curate all your favourite albums, playlists and tracks. Access and control any Naim system on your network, bring them together as an awesome multi-room system with just one touch.

Prefer a handset? Uniti Atom comes with an intelligent remote control that pairs with your player as soon as it’s unboxed and powered up. It’s a bidirectional design that doesn’t rely on line of sight, and has beautifully backlit buttons. Finally, the Uniti range also features voice-control support for Google Assistant and Apple Siri, with further options in development.

Keeping it cool, making it last

Uniti Star’s striking heat-sinks are directly coupled to the player’s floor, providing excellent thermal contact and heat transfer. This means heat is removed from the circuitry quickly and efficiently, even when your Uniti amplifier is powering out serious sounds. This thermal stability ensures consistent performance and long component life, two key parameters to Naim design.

Wireless or wired, your choice

Uniti features enhanced, dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, but can also be used with a direct Ethernet connection to your internet router. When ‘hard wired’ in this way, the Wi-Fi interface is disabled, reducing radio-frequency (RF) interference for the ultimate sound quality.

Bigger buffer keeps the music playing

Even the most robust internet connection can suffer from occasional drop-outs – something Uniti is designed to minimise, and keep the music playing. It has sufficient memory to buffer up to five minutes of audio.

Future-proof streaming technology

Uniti runs on Naim’s unique, state-of-the-art music-streaming platform. This incredibly powerful, high-resolution ‘brain’ is able to handle both today’s popular music services and be ready for new technologies, giving you plenty of listening pleasure to look forward to.

Local Storage

Store up to 20,000 tracks to a local USB-connected storage device and either play them back through your Uniti Atom or serve them to other Naim streamers on your home network.

Multiroom Capabilities

Uniti players work seamlessly with other Naim music-streaming products, from Mu-so wireless speakers to dedicated hi-fi separates. Choose the same song in beat-perfect sync or play different music in different rooms. Pair up to 5 systems with a simple tap of the Naim App. You can also serve any music stored on your Uniti Atom to other Uniti all-in-one players or Naim streamers at full CD quality.

Comprehensive file format support

Supports a broad range of music formats including WAV, FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, Windows Media-formatted files, Ogg Vorbis and MP3.
