Description
Naim UnitiQute All In One Amp, Network Streamer, iRadio, DAB, FM, 24bit DAC This is the MK1 24 / 96 version of the multi award winning UnitiQute Cosmetic condition is excellent, with just a few very small marks that that I have tried to capture in the last 4 photos above. The marks are virtually invisible in normal use. Works well on all functions and sounds superb. This is the MK1 version, so no Spotify, Tidal, or Bluetooth (but Bluetooth is highly compressed, so best avoided for serious music transmission, anyway) Thi sale includes a mains cable and Naim instruction booklet, plus a cable bundle for use with UnitiQute. All cables are in as new condition - 2 x 2m 79 Strand speaker cable, with 24K gold plugs at amp end + 10m Ethernet cable + an optical cable + a digital coax cable. This sale excludes the original Naim remote, the screw on Wi-Fi aerial and the UnitiQutes original box Wi-Fi aerials can be purchased for a few pounds, but see my comments below. Naim remotes are available to buy separately, but you dont need one, because control via Naims excellent free smartphone App is more intuitive. The only main function the original Naim stick remote does that the App doesnt do is configure the UnitiQute for Wi-Fi use. However, Wi-Fi is not as good sounding or as reliable as a wired Ethernet connection, so it is best to connect the UnitiQute to your network with the cable provided in thi sale, or use Ethernet over mains, which is a good quality, reliable, inexpensive solution that uses the mains wiring in your house to carry your Ethernet information.. When it was launched, The UnitiQute won just about every award in the book, including Product Of The Year from both What Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi World. It is one of Naims highest reviewed products ever, possibly because just like the Nait (which is where the design of the Qutes amp circuitry came from) the UnitiQute captures the very essence of the Naim sound, making you want to just keep playing more and more music, which is what owning Hi-Fi is ultimately all about. I think the reviewer of the Stateside audiophile magazine American Tone summed up the UnitiQutes appeal pretty well, when he wrote Naim’s Uniti Qute will spoil you. If this is the core of a high-quality second system, you might find yourself spending less time with your main system. If it’s your first venture into high-end audio, you’re going to have to spend a lot of money, should the upgrade bug hit you some day; the Qute is that good. Naim has hit the mark perfectly for a high quality yet reasonably priced, all-encompassing HiFI component. Add your favorite pair of budget speakers and you are ready to rock for a reasonable outlay, yet it’s good enough to up the ante considerably with higher-priced peripherals before you will get tired of it. A word to the wise: anyone who gets rid of their Nait 2 rues the day. Should you buy a Qute, I suggest hanging on to it forever. Just like the legendary Nait and Nait 2 amplifiers, I’m positive the Qute will still hold a special place in many music lovers hearts years from now. I couldnt agree more, but Ive got two excellent examples of UnitiQutes and (as my wife keeps pointing out) we dont need two, so I have decided to let someone else enjoy this one.
