Product Description:
The Naim Uniti Core music server is a versatile device allowing you to store an extensive music library (up to 100,000 tracks), stream audio files to Uniti series players or Naim streamers, make accurate CD rips, and create music backups. The device can be used as a regular digital source/transport by connecting it to an external DAC or amplifier/AV receiver with a built-in DAC. To control the server, update firmware, and access all your music, including online services, the proprietary Naim App is provided.
The model works with the UPnP protocol and allows sending up to twelve independent audio streams in high resolution to Naim players/streamers or other UPnP devices in the local network. It supports a wide variety of formats, including WAV, FLAC, DSD128, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3. Equipped with a TEAC CD drive with slot loading from the front panel, the server can create CD copies with bit-perfect accuracy, save them on installed HDD/SSD disks, or on external USB drives. The copied CDs can be played directly from the Naim Uniti Core through an external DAC. All rips undergo cataloging according to the online Rovi database with which the server communicates.
An HDD or SSD drive up to 8TB can be installed in a special tray in the casing, and alternatively, a NAS server connected to Naim Uniti Core or any USB drive can be used. The model features an optimized operating system, improved Ethernet technology, an enhanced algorithm for CD rips (using EAC software), and a full linear power supply with a custom toroidal transformer, appreciated by audiophiles. Unlike switching power supplies, this power supply guarantees minimal noise and interference, allowing for high-quality sound.
The server has a compact anti-vibration casing with panels made of anodized aluminum and side aluminum heat sinks. The model's simplistic industrial design is accentuated by soft backlighting of the brand logo. The Uniti range offers great flexibility for multi-room installations and allows synchronizing up to eight Uniti systems or other Naim streamers. This enables playing the same track in all rooms simultaneously or different music in each room. The Naim Uniti Core model is equipped with a BNC output and two USB ports, one of which is located on the front.
