Sorry, This product is no longer available

In an effort to keep our show-room displays up-to-date and as fresh as possible, we are currently rotating some of our ex display units. One such unit is our well-looked after Naim UnitiQute 2. Our display model is in mint-condition and includes the original accessories, packaging, manuals and manufacturer's warranty. This unit is pristine and is an excellent opportunityfor someone looking to bring the high standard of Naim Audio into their listening room at an exceptional price.

Naim UnitiQute2 all in one player

British hi-fi company Naim Audio is synonymous with creating great sounding CD players, digital music streamers, amplifiers, tuners and loudspeakers, but not all of us have the money or space for a high end separates hi-fi system. That's where Naim's UnitiQute 2 comes in - a self contained box with five complete products within - a stereo analogue/ digital preamplifier, FM and DAB Radio, Universal Plug and Play network streamer plus a superb quality digital to analogue converter and stereo power amplifier - all you need to add to get seriously good sounding music in your home is a quality pair of loudspeakers and you're in business.

The half-width case Unitiqute2 is aimed at music lovers who want to experience the wealth and breadth of music content not just from their CD's and other traditional music carriers, but from music sources accessible via the internet. Nowadays, you don't need to own the music to play it - there are many free sources of great content out there online, plus a bunch of very high quality subscription sources such as Spotify, Last.fm and Napster - plus you have the ability to listen to radio stations from around the globe via internet radio, all with that unique Naim foot tapping sound quality. Of course the UnitiQute 2 lacks a CD player itself, and so it will happily partner a traditional CD player or vinyl turntable from an existing system, thanks to it's single analogue stereo preamp input.

Five digital inputs (two optical, two coaxial, and a front panel USB) are also present on the rear panel which connect directly to the onboard DAC, but also still giving you control of volume, allowing you to connect all manner of digital music sources such as games console, set-top box, TV audio, external DAB tuner, PC or Mac computers, the list is almost endless. The ubiquitous iPod/ iPhone/ iPad can also be connected via the front panel USB socket using the standard iPhone USB cable, as can memory sticks containing music files. A front panel 3.5mm mini jack socket also allows connection of other mobile devices.

Naim's own UnitiServe or indeed any network drive can be used to store music files digitally at up to 32 bit resolution at 192kHz sampling frequency to give you full access to any CD ripped to the network, all under control of Naim's very own free App which is desined to work from iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Artist, album track and genre are all selectable with a few taps of the screen, as is the desired volume. Uniqute 2 can connect wirelessly or with a wired connection to your network, and makes it's own network settings to discover other devices on the network without you ever needing to intervene.

With a power output of 30 watts per channel into eight ohms, or 45W per channel into four ohms, you will rarely find any need for more punch than that available from the Uniqute 2. If you wish to add an external power amplifier in the future, no problem, there are stereo pre-amp outputs on the rear panel. A ground lift switch is provided to give a soution to hum and other grounding problems sometimes encountered.

This latest upgrade of the original UnitQute to '2' status moves the performance up to where there really is very little else in the market to compete - with much better sound quality under it's belt, more advanced streaming features, DAB included within the standard price and multi-room audio capability, the Unitiqute 2 is one of the most in-demand streaming products of the moment.
