Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable

Mbroadus, we sell and display all three Naim Uniti products, the Atom, the Star and the Nova, unless you really need the built in CD player, we would recommend the Nova over the Star.

The Nova offers a more dense sound over the Star,and is just magical with many speakers, the Elac Adante/Nova package is very good, the Nova on a pair of Legacy Signatures is an amazing package and one of our favorites for the money. Both the Elac and Legacy packages are more of the bang for your buck pairings.

The Nova and the Persona 3F totally killer, as well as the Focal’s the pairing with the Olympia’s should be very good, you should use a cleaner more neutral cable line if the loudspeakers that you have are on the warmer side.

The Nova comes a bit closer to the legendary Naim NAC 272/250dr pair that is just super involving.

Wireworld is great with the Naim, we use a specially designed impedance matching adapter made by Wirewold to make sure the Nova sees a happy load, the Naim speaker cables are ok at best.

As per turntable one of the most exciting tables you can look at is the new incomming Rega P8 the new P8 is based on the $45k Rega Project Niad, a limited edition test bed for Roy Gandy’s design concepts, the word on the street in the UK is the new P8 is just amazing sounding.

Hope that helps we are big Naim fans with many of their products on display including the high end NAC 282/300DR/NDX 2 package.

All Naim Uniti amplifiers are class A/B the only digital amplifier that Naim has ever used is in the Muso self amplified loudspeakers.

The Uniti line was based on the original Naim Nait which is not a digital amp, nor does any Naim product sound like digital . The Naim gear  has a unique rythemic sound,PRAT Naim does that  so well that very few companies can seem to emmulate.

Long story shor the Nova is awesome, and you can enjoy Naim sound via one totally integrated app and then add a $899 Naim Muso for your Kitchen or a Bedroom for whole house sound.

You can stream via Airplay, Apt x, Chromecaset which means your entire family can love to listen to the Naim as well.

Tomic all Uniti products are class A/B when they talk about the Uniti series being based on the Naim Nait it is very clear they are based on traditional Naim circuitry only non class A/B design is the Naim Muso products which are Class D as they have to shoehorn mutlitple amplifiers into a box with a loudspeaker.

The volume control is pure analog with an optical encoder as the only digital part of the preamp, many people use optical encoders with all analog circuitry.

If you are looking for a product with a built in phono stage to save money and complexity, and that is also very good sounding and adds in roon correction you may also want to add the Micromega M100 and M150 on your list.

The Micromega is better than the Nova in certain areas and has more overall power, the room correction is awesome and the sound is very warm and punchy, both the Micromega and the Naim products are two of our favorite lines.

Also Micromega is shown to work well with Focal and both are imported by Audio Plus Services so they are shown together.

Caphill is correct on the Oppo. Best thing is to rip all your discs to a hard drive and store on a Nas.

We run roon and can play storred  dsd files on the Nova.

Mbroadus both the Naim and the Micromega can read stored files from a NAS so you would be good to go with either of these devices.

and yes the Micromega is awesome especially with the Focals, the class A/B amplifier is warm and the bass and dynamics are shocking. One of our absolute favorite products.
