Network Audio Players Naim

Pros

Excellent sound

Minuses

Does not display the integrated album cover coverage in DSD (.dsf) files

Review

This device has a very high -quality sound. If someone is looking for a device for high-quality reproduction of digital material, you should pay attention to this device, and be sure to listen to it. The functionality is similar to the NAIM Devices of the Uniti line. He works in tandem with the Naim Super Nait 3 integrated amplifier (connected by a standard 5-Pin Naim interblock cable). As a source of musical material, USB-disks and Naim Uniti Core are used. It is controlled through the standard NAIM application.

Review

At first there were doubts about the acquisition of this apparatus, TC. He does not have a beautiful color display and essentially do not provide functionality for managing tracks on external HDD (i.e. HDD can be connected, but you can not choose a whole album or put tracks in the queue or form a playlist. The device is sharpened for use with NAS). As a result, he sacrificed functionality and brilliance in the name of sound. And not in vain, because. With a closer acquaintance, even more functionality was revealed than expected. For example, Streamer supports the media server media mode, which provides flexible functionality when working with external HDD (in this mode it is possible to create lists, put albums in line and choose more than one track). On other devices, the server is also available (for example, in such applications on iOS as: Mconnect or Foobar2000). The only thing that I did not like was the structure of the tags that is sewn in the application: it cannot be controlled and there is no mode of viewing folders. What is friends with Tidal, Roon, acts as Renderer (with the same Mconnect you can run music on it), reads all the formats and clearly from the description. Also, from the application you can control the volume on the native amplifier (it is necessary to connect the devices with the Jack Jack cord and activate the necessary settings in the "Automation" section. In case of incorrect operation, in the same section, try different control options). From the wishes I would like to be controlled by the volume from the blocked screen of the mobile device (after all, the device does not have its own remote control and all controls are carried out through the application). In general, the application is very functional: it remains from the scene of the last visit, Russified, there is a search and such sections as “Favorites” that are integrated with all the application blocks (i.e., there may be tracks/albums/performers from TIDAL, NAS in one list, radio and so on or search are carried out immediately by TIDAL and local media server) About the sound of the apparatus, it is difficult to judge in isolation from switching, because Depending on the manufacturer and the lines of the wires, it is different and there are a lot of it, you will have to determine at what level you need to stop.

Minuses

Sometimes the screen freezes

Review

I updated the system for components with the more affordable Naim Uniti Atom - received a more solid sound, preserving all the convenience of the NAIM streaming platform. I am very pleased with the sound - it works in tandem with the Naim Supernait 3. The music loses to both the ROON and directly through the ecquations in Todal, Spotify.
