Enter the world of digital music
Streaming
UnitiQute can play audio files at resolutions up to 24bit/96kHz streamed from UPnP music servers like the Naim HDX hard disk music player, or from PC or Apple Mac music libraries. And if you don't like the idea of running network cables around the house, don't worry. UnitiQute can do all this wirelessly.
Multi-format Radio
The UnitiQute multi-format tuner can switch seamlessly between DAB, FM and Internet radio stations. Favourite stations are listed in a common interface menu for browsing and selection. An entire world of radio is a few button presses away.
iPod and MP3
Connect an iPod or MP3 player via the UnitiQute USB interface and its audio files and playlists are listed on the UnitiQute display for simple browsing, selection and playback.
USB-stored Audio
Connect a USB memory stick to the front panel USB socket and the audio files it contains will be identified by the UnitiQute interface and be immediately available for browsing, selection and playback. UnitiQute can play USB-stored music files of up to 24bit/96kHz resolution.
Your complete audio system
UnitiQute may be compact but it packs some serious audio technology within its elegant extruded and die-cast enclosure. On the analogue side, the UnitiQute preamplifier module is a distilled version of that found in its NaimUniti sibling. Similarly, and again, as with the NaimUniti, the UnitiQute power amplifier borrows its design from the NAIT 5i, and given a pair of Naim n-SAT speakers to work with, the music it makes is dynamic, tuneful and addictive.
UnitiQute digital audio performance profits immeasurably from nearly two decades of high-end digital audio knowhow and experience at Naim. From the first CD player, the CDS in 1991, to the stunning DAC digital to analogue converter of 2009, every Naim digital product has advanced the art of digital audio engineering to the benefit of music reproduction. UnitiQute is no different.
UnitiQute is capable of handling an enormous range of digital audio formats, and Naim digital audio engineering ensures that each one sounds as musical and engaging as its inherent potential allows. UnitiQute digital connectivity also means that as well as offering all-in-one functionality operating as a digital hub for external digital sources, games consoles or digital TV audio for example, it can also output its internal sources or external digital signals to an external DAC for even higher audio quality.>/p>
Analogue audio connectivity is not forgotten either. Two analogue inputs can accommodate CD players or portable music players via rear panel phono sockets and a front-panel mini-jack. And a preamplifier output means that with the addition of an external power amplifier, or even a sub-woofer, UnitiQute can become the heart of a very wide bandwidth audio system. And when you want to listen privately, a front panel headphone socket makes such selfishness all too easy.
