    Product of the Month – Gramophone

    "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. And, unlike the old UnitiServe, which had a somewhat clunky interface, the Core is simple to use as a player, making it a highly viable choice as a source for a digital music system, even if you don’t need its extended networking capabilities."

    - Andrew Everard, Gramophone, Sunday, August 20, 2017


    "...the Uniti Core is very impressive even as a standalone component. What you get is a superbly engineered product that will store your digital music files, let you organize them so they’re easy to find, and extract details from them that you may not have realized they contain."

    - Gordon Brockhouse, SoundStage! Simplifi, April 15, 2019


    Five Stars – the-ear.net

    "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."

    - Chris Kelly, the-ear.net, January 8, 2019
