Product Description
There is an unwritten rule in high-end audio that states audiophile performance levels can only be achieved through separates. By combining technologies pioneered by reference products such as the NDX and SUPERNAIT 2 and adding a few innovations of its own, the SuperUniti demonstrates just how far our research has taken us with all-in-one sound quality. It’s proof that sometimes, rules are made to be broken.
SuperUniti is an integrated wireless UPnP network stream player, USB audio player, iPod dock, internet radio, DAB/FM radio, ten input digital and analogue preamplifier, digital to analogue converter and stereo 80W power amplifier. And it even includes Bluetooth (aptX) connectivity, native support for TIDAL high fidelity music streaming service and built-in support for Spotify Connect. SuperUniti forgoes the CD player offered by the NaimUniti 2 to put all of its efforts into being the best network streaming all-in-one it can be – focus you’ll hear in every note, riff and chorus.

Technology & Craft
Crowding so much audio technology in one place brings numerous challenges of component selection, circuit and component layout, power supply noise and microphony. Meeting such challenges however is second nature at Naim Audio and the expertise that brings solutions has long been part of the audio engineering culture. SuperUniti is a masterpiece of audio technology packaging.
The SuperUniti amplifier is derived from our reference integrated the SUPERNAIT 2. Its digital hardware is drawn from the NDX network player and its 24bit/192kHz capable DAC uses the same data-buffering jitter removal process as the Naim Audio DAC. Along with drawing from the best existing Naim Audio technologies, SuperUniti introduces a new technology of its own. Behind the traditional looking volume dial lies an advanced new control technology providing noise-free digital volume adjustment that varies its operating characteristic depending on how quickly the volume knob is turned. All this innovation offers you the simplicity of a one box solution with the performance the Naim Audio badge guarantees.
