"Delivers a Very Enjoyable Musical Performance"
"Across a wide range of music, the Core not only shows the potential of the new Uniti platform but also delivers a very enjoyable musical performance, whether with music ripped from CD – which it handles efficiently, even finding cover artwork and booklet notes using a combination of Rovi, MusicBrainz and FreeDB lookups – or higher-definition content streamed to a suitable player," notes Andrew Everard in Gramophone, which honored the Uniti Core with "Product of the Month" status.
"It is good to see how far Naim has come in the power, quality and reliability of its digital products. The UnitiCore is a real advance on its predecessor and is heartily recommended in the context of a Naim system," reports Chris Kelly in his Five Star review for the-ear.net, January 8, 2019.
Going to Extraordinary Lengths
Naim has gone to extraordinary lengths to maximize the quality of digital music streams. Uniti is running on a completely new Naim designed and built streaming platform. Every component and material was put under the microscope, questioned, refined or replaced with new custom parts at every stage.
Uniti’s unique and very powerful 40-bit SHARC DSP is so phenomenally accurate that it performs a staggering 2.7 billion calculations per second, giving it enough power to resolve the most complex music signals with ease.
Extreme care has been taken by Naim's highly trained engineers to protect sensitive components in the audio signal path from digital circuitry – isolated circuit boards for both analog and digital signals, optical isolators to transfer information between the two sides of the products and careful testing and analysis by our audio experts to catch any stray interference.
