Naim Say….
Everything about UnitiQute, is cute. It could not have been given any other name. UnitiQute is right at the forefront of modern music delivery technology, and its significance for music enthusiasts of all aspirations is far greater than the simple sum of its component parts. UnitiQute’s integrated amplifier includes a preamplifier with two analogue inputs, five 24-bit/192 kHz-capable digital inputs and all the traditional Naim musical clarity and transparency, alongside a muscular power amplifier that provides all the rhythmic punch and definition you would expect from Naim. You want conventional radio? Well, UnitiQute’s multi-format tuner includes FM and DAB tuners that get the best possible performance from either format. UnitiQute is happy also to play music from an iPod or MP3 player via its front panel-mounted USB socket. The USB audio connection is digital, so iPod sound quality is optimised, and Apple authenticated too so compatibility is seamless. And the same USB socket can be used to play music files in almost any format at up to 24bit/96kHz resolution straight from a memory stick. And it doesn’t end there. A network Ethernet socket and integrated Wi-Fi means that, along with everything else, UnitiQute can easily tap into Internet radio or UPnP servers (streaming up to 24bit/96kHz), a Naim HDX for example, to drop almost unlimited music choices right into your lap. Talk about cute.
